Do you feel that you lack concentration and would like to strengthen this skill?
Lack of concentration seems to be very common, especially nowadays, with so many distractions, so much information, gadgets, advertising, and products that attract your attention in so many ways.
This happens everywhere: at work, at school, and at home. Walking, eating, exercising, studying, and almost all activities are done with divided attention, and therefore, not so efficiently, and at the risk of making mistakes and errors.
What is concentration?
It is the ability to control the attention, choose on what to focus it, and reject irrelevant thoughts and distractions. It enables you to become the master of your mind and not the opposite.
This is an acquired skill that requires some work on your part. It is like learning to swim, to drive or to dance. You don’t acquire these skills just by thinking about them. You need to practice them over a period of time.
Check out Whether You lack Concentration
Ask Yourself the following questions about focus and concentration:
- Do you feel that you lack concentration?
- Is your concentration okay, or do you think it requires improvement?
- In which area of your life do you need it most?
- Do you really want to strengthen this ability?
- Do you easily focus on your work, studies, or anything else that requires attention, or do you find it difficult to control your attention?
- Is your mind in constant inner chatter?
- If you are using creative visualization or affirmations, do you feel that you need to improve your ability to focus your mind?
- Would you accept to practice concentration exercises to improve your concentration skills?
If you are unable to concentrate, your attention span is probably short. There are so many distractions around us that draw our attention and disturb our focus.
