ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS TO HUMANS (pdf) Concentration is a valuable intelligence to nurture. It is through concentration that we are able to solve problems, make decisions, complete tasks and ultimately succeed in life and as a species.
One of the greatest gifts to humans is the ability to concentrate.
To direct all of our thoughts and efforts toward one particular tasks or idea, at the exclusion of all others is an art.
A proven way to perk up your concentration is to change gear or in other words change your thinking style, switch brainwave patterns. Once learnt you will use this skill over and over again.
To ‘try’ to concentrate demands all of your mental energy, even then your thoughts run in all directions so that while we ‘try’ to concentrate on our task our thoughts move to future events, past conversations and emotional issues.
These mind games are not helpful when our desire is for focus and attentiveness.
What to do…get rid of conflicting emotions, those thoughts that go through your head every time you need to concentrate. Turn of the need to be attached to those thoughts and let them go. It’s a easy as dropping an item on the ground and never picking it up again.
What else can assist your concentration?
When important pieces of information drift across your thought processes and interrupt your concentration, write them down. They are then recorded as a future task. You can attend to them at a more appropriate time.
Take a break, this can be a few seconds or several minutes.
Go to the ‘quiet’ place, have a glass of water, do some stretches.
Learn how to engage both hemispheres of your brain together – Theta Brainwave pattern, we teach this in our Mastery program.
Remember, when the two sides of the brain learn to function as one then our experience of reality is different.
It then becomes a natural course of action to being in the moment.
Concentration and ‘living in the present’ go hand in hand.
In our Mastery program, we train the mind, the more you do it the easier it becomes.
