Some tips on how to maintain ones focus, how to concentrate







Wth today's busy busy lifestyle we get caught by so many distractions it makes it really difficult to get things done and completed, one of the many challenges we face is being able to concentrate and focus.

So here are a few tips I thought I'd share to help you focus and concentrate.

  1. Focus on one thing at a time. Place your mind on whatever you're doing in the present moment. Think about how you act when you're engrossed in a thrilling movie or a new romance and try to duplicate that experience. If you don't feel passionate about a particular task, look for some meaningful aspect or motivate yourself with the desire to complete it in less time.
  2. Abandon distracting thoughts. Your mind will wander. Remain aware of your thoughts. When you notice a distracting thought, decline to pursue it. Return your attention to your chosen object. Repeat this as often as necessary. With practice, it will get easier.
  3. Meditate. To enhance your progress, try meditating. Sit and focus on your breath or spiritual attainments. You can extend that mindfulness to all your daily activities from eating lunch to playing with your children.

Other Steps to Improve Concentration:

  1. Minimize external distractions. Your restless mind is probably the greatest distraction, but a controlled environment can help too. Turn off your phone and wait until later to check your email. Clear off your desk. If you can't find a quiet spot, consider using white noise recordings, instrumental music, or earplugs.
  2. Get fully engaged in what you're doing. It's easier to focus when you're actively involved. Take notes in class. Highlight passages while you read. Think about questions you want to ask a speaker. Invent ways to improve a routine household chore.
  3. Vary your activities. While you're increasing your attention span, it may be helpful to switch from one activity to another to remain alert. So if you feel stuck writing a report, go return some phone calls for a while - you'll feel rejuvenated when you come back to the report.

  1. Plan regular breaks. Taking breaks can improve your performance. Chat with your co-workers or walk around the block. Reward yourself with an activity you enjoy after completing a difficult project. Just standing up from time to time is refreshing because it helps your brain get more oxygen.

  1. Avoid overloading your schedule. Budgeting your time really can make it easier to concentrate. You'll be less likely to get distracted by worries about getting everything done. If you're chronically overloaded, you may need to adjust your priorities.

  1. Take care of your health. Your physical health affects all your mental functioning. Get adequate sleep and rest. Maintain a healthy weight by eating a nutritious diet and getting daily exercise.

Your ability to focus will improve with practice. As you learn to concentrate more fully, you'll enjoy greater peace of mind and productivity.

Truly caring for your success


Big luv Nas.

How to find your center

Image
 Learning how to center yourself is perhaps the most important skill most people never learn. This guide explains what the Center actually means and offers effective methods to help you find it.   Do you start the day in a calm or reactive state? Do you end the day feeling nourished or depleted? How about during the middle: Are you focused or scattered? Your answer to all these questions all relate to the Center. It’s an idea that may sound mystical or esoteric at first, but it’s real. And you can experience it directly in the present moment. What the Center Feels Like As Joseph Campbell said in The Power of Myth : There’s a center of quietness within, which has to be known and held. If you lose that center, you are in tension and begin to fall apart. The Center doesn’t have a location, yet, there are physical regions associated it. It’s more of a dynamic point of psychic equilibrium or inner balance. When you’re in the Center, there’s no resistance. Everything  is . You

7 GODLY reminders to focus on what matters

Image
What you focus on grows. Stop managing your time. Start managing your focus. How am I making meaningful use of this scarce and precious day? This morning after a 20-minute meditation I asked my friend whom I was meditating with, "are you ready for your day?"  She replied, "I'm off today, it's been a busy week so I took the day off". This leads me to a reminder about being busy or over-busyness, which is an epidemic if you ask me.  Too many of us are so filled with work or we fill our calendars and our social media feeds with various kinds of busyness, oftentimes just to avoid being bored… to avoid being exactly who we are, exactly where we are. The instant we feel a bit idle, we run off in the direction of the nearest shiny object or comment that catches our attention. And in the process, we not only miss out on the serenity and beauty that exists within ourselves, but we also miss out on experiencing that same serenity and beauty in th
