Concentration

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. 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. 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. Meditate.  To enhance your prog...

Hey guys, so what I'm resonating with today, how to keep your attitude up when life seems to bring you down or state otherwise, how many of you go through this type of dialogue “I’m exhausted and so very tired of all the anxiety, negativity and stress. Too often my mind is consumed with draining thoughts, and every muscle in my body seems tense. It hurts. I don’t want to feel like this anymore. I don’t want to feel like I live in a whirlwind of constant pressure and exhaustion. I don’t want to just ‘get by’ day-to-day…  I was quite shocked to hear someone say to me, expecting negative things to happen to them has been their way of approaching life. If you expect the worse you will be prepared for the best, can relate in any way at all to that, if so I say it’s time to revamp your mindset. Our minds are incredibly powerful. It can bring us down or lift us up at a moment’s notice. How we think about things literally changes everything! That's why one of the most imp...

One of my many challenges in life was being able to find peace around difficult people, the thing is as we get older we learn that we can pick and choose our friends, however sometimes there is no choice but to be around a difficult person. I'm sure you can relate. Right now it’s that time of the year again. ‘Tis the season of family vacations, holiday parties, and awkward celebratory work functions. And whenever large groups of us are forced to share the same space for too long, especially after hours when alcohol and exhaustion are factored in, there’s a fairly high potential for unnecessary drama. So this morning I read an email article and it went something like this, “I have difficult people in my family and social circles that I have to deal with at various holiday-related gatherings over the next several weeks, and just thinking about it drives me crazy.  What can I do when these difficult people start getting on my nerves—which is inevitable?  How do I sh...

All journeys of better and positive change begin with a vision, a goal, motivation and the determination needed to achieve it. However, we all come across two things, we either become too determined or too discouraged, what do you think happens when either one of these tings happen. You begin to nurture another belief: who you are right now is not good enough. It works both ways your either too obsessed with a goal or you become discouraged. I was reading this article and I came across this story,  a women said she had become overly obsessive in her efforts to meditate. As her interest in meditation grew, she began to increasingly say to herself, “I am not good enough,” and, “I have to be better at this.” She began to notice various imperfections within herself that needed to be “fixed.” The funny thing is I also came across a friend whom wanted to loose weight but when she looked in the mirror she began to increasingly say to herself, "I am too fat," ...

A story I'm resonating with this morning, good morning good folks, I was reading this morning and came across this story about a woman in which her perspective changed for the brighter: “This morning, nearly five years after my husband’s passing, a beautiful couple and their three kids knocked on my front door. The man smiled and said, ‘Your husband was my heart donor. He saved my life. Not a single day has gone by that I don’t pray for him and think of you. Thank you!’” Colleen went on to admit that she had been unable to see any positive side of her husband’s death—until she found herself staring at one on her doorstep: “It doesn’t necessarily make things easier, but it certainly changed the way I think. I feel like a small piece of my broken heart has healed.” And the truth is, it sometimes happens just like that. Although Colleen’s experience is unique, and more than a little extraordinary, life sometimes has a way of slapping us with a good reminder tha...

Hi all hope your weeks been going good so far, tonight I wanted to share with you guy's the implications of having a deeper understanding of the inside out nature of mind..   The principles behind clarity.  This understanding as it deepens really puts life and everyday things into a different light, here are a few implication.   Implication 1 You can’t be a victim of circumstance, As you realize that its impossible for you to be a victim of circumstance you become less likely to look to the outside world for security, approval and validation.

The human mind is a wonderful thing.  It’s also good at lieing and making excuses which frequently try to convince us NOT to take actions when we know that its good for us.  This ultimately prevents many good changes from taking place in our lives. But why?  Why does the mind lie to us and make irrational excuses? Because, the mind wants comfort, that’s why!  It’s very much hates discomfort, pressure and change.  The mind is use to its comfort zone, and anytime we try to stretch that zone too far, for too long, the mind tries desperately to get back to ground zero at any cost… including sacrificing our long-term health, happiness and success. So let’s expose and bring to light three of the mind’s most regretful lies and excuses once and for all – I've literally seen these specific lies and excuses plaguing people I know over the past decade or so. 1.  "Its easy for them, because they have it better than me." – Just because someone else ca...
