Learning to be mindful is not easy. And it is necessary to pay attention, or rather, its concentration, to people who have many professions, if not all of them. . . Without the ability to concentrate, one cannot be a good artist and writer; without success in business, politics, finance. Being a reckless person, you can forget about driving a car, and when you are riding on the subway or on public transport, you will only miss the stops you need. In a word, life does not seem to be like honey for sure.
A careless and careless person is involuntary. Such people will never reach the desired heights, will not achieve their goals, and will not receive respect. This means that the situation needs to be rectified. How to improve attention?
New habits need to be acquired. And throw out some of the old ones. Habits always affect the human psyche, and attention is a mental and psychological process that determines and controls the course of thought. And guiding it in the right direction is the main condition for improving attention. And everyone has the opportunity to do this. . .
Normal One
To improve your attention, first learn to look at yourself. This does not mean that you have to go into conflict with yourself, which is full of mental deviation up to a split personality. This means that you will be able to analyze situations and events, as well as your thoughts and actions, related to these situations and events. Why, for example, do you miss the conversation thread? Does the intermediary's noise or willingness listen to you? This means that one should eliminate the noise, or get rid of such an intermediary, or stop talking.
Why did you abandon the statement you made? Is it unfair? Or were you wrong yourself? Then why are you angry? Isn’t it better to look at yourself and exclude such an occurrence in the future? Analyzing what’s happening is an excellent training, a special one first, where you recommend it to yourself, and then involuntarily, to improve attention. . .
Normal burning
Don't flicker. You can hurry without fuss and rush. The desire to accept the giant is to be understood, but, as the sages say, this desire is not possible. Why try to do everything? After all, in the end, you can be late everywhere. . .
Normal Three
It is directly related to the second habit and is a reason why you should refuse to do several things at once. After all, you quickly get tired of this, and your concentration is relatively weak. Well, if you already leave a lot of attention, then as you launch a number of different scenarios in a row, there are bound to be mistakes and failures. Why do you need this? In addition, the brain will not keep up with the efficient processing of a huge amount of completely different information at the same time, which will again have a negative impact on attention. Our task is to improve attention, not to overload it. . .
Normal four
Highlight priorities. This habit follows entirely from the previous habit. The ability to highlight and highlight the most important thing from the crowd is a way to improve the quality of attention. Believe me, it 's not difficult at all. For example, what is more important: to hand over the assigned work on time or to continue typing the text of the letter on the computer, which can be sent tomorrow? The first, of course. Well, the exercise is over. All you have to do is fix it and make it a habit.
It may be a good idea to draft a priority plan. It is possible in the head, but better - on paper. And, after you finish the most important one, you can move on to the next important one, and so on - to the end of the list. . .
Fifth habit
It would be nice, looking at yourself, to determine for yourself the hours of maximum energy concentration and attention. And in general, find out your biorhythm. For example, you work with complete diligence from eight in the morning until half past the first day, and from six to nine in the evening. This means that during these hours you should perform the most difficult and responsive tasks. And in the middle of the day, when you have lost a certain strength and weakened attention, focus on carrying out routine current work that does not require special attention. This habit will not allow you to torture yourself senselessly and bluntly during hours when your physical and mental strength is not in the best shape. And in the hours of mental and physical recovery - it will be possible to maximize attention, thereby enhancing and increasing his strength and power.
Normal six
A calm environment helps to focus and enhance attention. It has already been said how to achieve peace of mind: lack of fidgeting and fuss, which makes you nervous and anxious. But you also need to exclude external stimuli that prevent you from focusing on the task at hand and implementing it. After we find the best place to do the work, we get the highest concentration.
Normal Seven
It is related to the ability to control their senses. They connect us to what is around us, to the whole external world. It is through them that the flow of information, which needs to be filtered, avoids everything that is not necessary at the moment. And this is done with the help of attention. For example, when we read, if we focus on it, we no longer hear any noise. When we listen to good music, we may not notice what is happening around us. Excellent work to improve attention to the topic we are dealing with.
Normal Eight
It is found in memory training, which is extremely important for improving attention. A good memory helps with work. In addition, it takes less effort to complete, no attention to detail or a search for the necessary information. Everything is in our head, everything is at hand. Any memory training - and there are many methods, and it is not difficult to choose them to your liking - helps to improve attention and concentration.
This is how one acquired habit that improves attention will acquire the acquisition of another, a third, and so on. And when these acquired habits become a necessity and part of your life, your attention to words and deeds will be highly concentrated without much effort. And then any business you do is not guaranteed to succeed. . .
