I know this...
If I take the attitude that "I'm going to make it" when chipping - I often do make it or come really close.

When I have 6 foot putts I make a stroke like I "expect" it to go in. This keeps out all negative thoughts of what might happen.

If I hit a bad shot, the best way to rebound with a good shot is for me to stand up there and fully "expect" to hit the next shot well. The alternative is to worry about another bad shot.

I know I will hit bad shots. But my plan is always to hit a good shot, make the chip, make the putt - unless I'm purposely trying to lag it up there.

I also try to eliminate all mental errors. These things are 100% under my control. I know I will make execution errors, but I really try to avoid compounding things by making mental mistakes.

This process seems to work for me. My problem is I don't always remember to use it!
