One of the main problems that deters a person’s success is their lack of concentration. Lapses encourage disturbances to get in the way and stall progress. One must learn how to concentrate if one wishes to proceed on the road to success. Here, we show you some easy-to-learn exercises that are easy to implement.
1) Silence or Noise
Most people find it hard to concentrate in noisy environments, while others thrive with music or in a bustling room. If you’re unsure which setting works best for you, experiment with different environments. Here’s how: Grab a notepad and pen or pencil and try writing a letter under three different conditions: quiet, with music, and in a busy space.
Set a timer for ten minutes for each attempt. Afterward, evaluate not just the length of what you’ve written but also the quality and development of your ideas. This quick exercise can help you pinpoint where you focus best.
2) Focal Point
Before you leave for work or on the way, stare at any object for ten minutes every morning. 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
Initially, you can do this while staring at the object from tip number two, but if you wish to move towards absolute concentration, do this separately.
Sit down on the floor. If it’s 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 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, do makeup exercises as you like.
4) Movement
Focus on an animal: cat, dog, or even ant or bird. Observe each movement of the animal as if it were a solitary entity. Study every tiny spot on their body. Learning how to diversify your concentration so that movement does not deter you from your goal is the point.
Conclusion
By implementing the aforementioned four tips, you can fully embrace life by concentrating on the things you desire and disregarding those that cause disruptions. Practice the above tips daily, and you will be closer to achieving your dreams and goals.
