Coach have any good tips on how I should do and can train to become better at getting the focus, and be able to concentrate on what I must and should do?

Hi coach

I have a question which concerns that I have and find it difficult to focus and concentrate on the various things that I must and will do.

My mind wanders very easily set off on everything else, especially when I should do something.

Do you have any good tips on how I should do and can train to become better at getting the focus, and be able to concentrate on what I must and should do?

Best regards
Irina


Hi Irina

An effective way to train the focus is to make a meditation where you focus on one thing, for example, their breathing, and constantly raise the focus back there.

Do you think that meditation is not for you? Maybe because you can not "stop thinking" or easily become restless? It's a bit like saying that push ups does not suit you, because you get tired in the arms of them. It's part of the training, and it is the training that is the goal! The goal is not perfection, there is no good or bad, right or wrong. Just drop all judgment and see everything that happens as part of the training.

A focus-training meditation can go to something like this:

• Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Relax.
• You probably pulled off by a thought. It might take a while before you notice it. But suddenly you discover that - oh, a thought! Accept it. It is completely okay. Release thought and focus back to the breath.
• You've done a mental push-ups!
• Continue to focus on your breathing.
• After a while, you may be restless. Discover it. "Now I became restless!" Accept it, let go of it and focus back to the breath.
• Congratulations, you have now made two push-ups!
• In the beginning it may be enough with a few minutes of exercise, then increase to 10 or 20 minutes. Do you get frustrated, you have probably entered a right / wrong / should-think. Discover it, accept it and release it. Over time, the pause between thoughts becomes longer and longer, and the training gives then also rest to the brain.

What you have to gain a strong focus muscle include:

• You can perform well, and find peace, even when you are stressed or nervous.
• You can make your job even when there is noise in the background.
• You can focus on what you want to focus on, which makes it easier to learn new things, work efficiently with a task, keep a good presentation or just be fully present and enjoy the moment.

Good luck with your training!
