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!

Hello mental coach

I have a question about how I can best learn to stop being so nervous and stressed when I should go to and be at various events and meetings in my life?

Too often when I should go to an event or meeting, so I find it hard to not rush me up and not get really nervous before this.

I hope you have some good tricks and tips on how I can deal with my problems.

Thanks in advance for your help Mr. Coach.

Hey Rudolph

Walking yoga meditation is good, and might be something for you, and you very easily make them before those various events and meetings that you be on, and so you would not be so nervous and stressed out for these.

The practice of walking meditation can also be fitted in to the gaps in our lives quite easily. Even walking from the car into the supermarket can be an opportunity for a minute’s walking meditation.

The form of walking meditation we’ll be introducing here is best done outdoors. For your first attempt, you might want to find a park or open space where you will be able to walk for twenty minutes without encountering traffic.

Are you practice for 30 minutes and three days in a row and you’ll feel the energizing, focusing effects immediately. If you do it for 30 days you can get really intimate with the technique. You can slip it into the cracks of your day to support you—that’s its purpose.

How you doing walking yoga meditation?

In walking meditation we use the experience of walking as our focus. We become mindful of our experience while walking, and try to keep our awareness involved with the experience of walking. Actually, there are several different kinds of walking meditation. We’ll just be looking at one of them in detail, although we’ll touch on the others. Once you’ve mastered one form, you’ll easily be able to pick up the others.

Obviously, there are some differences between walking meditation and sitting meditation. For one thing we keep our eyes open during walking meditation! That difference implies other changes in the way we do the practice. We are not withdrawing our attention from the outside world to the same extent that we do when we are doing the Mindfulness of Breathing or Metta Bhavana (development of lovingkindness) practices.

We have to be aware of things outside of ourselves (objects we might trip over, other people that we might walk into) and there are many other things outside of ourselves that we will be more aware of than when we are doing sitting – especially if we sit inside. These include the wind, the sun, and the rain; and the sounds of nature and of humans and machines.

But one of the biggest differences is that it’s easier, for most people, to be more intensely and more easily aware of their bodies while doing walking meditation, compared to sitting forms of practice. When your body is in motion, it is generally easier to be aware of it compared to when you are sitting still. When we’re sitting still in meditation the sensations that arise in the body are much more subtle and harder to pay attention to than those that arise while we’re walking, This can make walking meditation an intense experience. You can experience your body very intensely, and you can also find intense enjoyment from this practice.

Try and test this Rudolph, and I hope it will help you to wind down, and so you will not be so stressed and nervous about your evnet and meetings.
