How to Concentrate
In 4 Magic Steps
Jack Reider
One of the main
problems that deter a person's success is their lack of concentration.
Lapses encourage disturbances to get in the way and stall progress. If
ones wishes to proceed on their road to success, it is imperative they
learn how to concentrate. Here, we show you some easy to learn exercises
that are easy to implement.
1) Silence or Noise:
Most people cannot concentrate when it is too noisy, but others work
better with music or others in the midst of a crowded room. If you are
not aware as yet what best suits you, then try out the different
environments. How? Take a notepad and a pencil or pen with you and try
and write down a letter in all the three circumstances in a set amount
of time. Ten minutes. That is all you will need to determine where your
source of concentration lies. How? Check not only for length but also
for development as that is more important.
2) Focal Point:
Every morning, before you leave for work or on the way, stare at any
object for ten minutes. You can do this while in the toilet, car or bus.
You will find this difficult, but whatever happens, do not move your
gaze away. Hold it. Wait. And then, as the minutes pass you will find
yourself deeply meditating about things that happened to you yesterday
or challenges you have to face in a few minutes. Congratulations. You
have just conquered the art of meditation.
3) Deep Breathing:
In the beginning, you can do this while staring at the object from tip
number two, but if you wish to move towards real concentration, do this
separately. Sit down on the floor. If its hard, place a cushion. Close
your eyes. Breathe. Count the number of inhales. When you have reached
100, start counting backwards but this time count the exhales. Mastering
this will take you a while, but once you do move on to other kinds of
mathematical calculations such as naming the months of the year from
December backwards or alphabetically. After that, make up exercises as
you like.
4) Movement:
Focus on an animal: cat, dog or even ant or bird. Follow their every
movement as if they exist in a vacuum. Study every tiny spot on their
body. The point of this is to learn how to diversify your concentration
in such a way that movement does not deter you from your goal.
Conclusion:
Practice the above four tips and like magic, you will start enjoying
life to its fullest because you will be able to focus on the things you
want to focus on and disregard those that disrupt. Practice the above
tips daily and you will be that much more closer to achieving your
dreams and goals. Best of Luck!
