| Education / Concentration A Great Asset by funreader(m): 3:02pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
"To develop this ability, you have to train your mind. Most people believe that concentration is a strenuous and tiring activity, and that it involves exertion and tension, which are difficult and unpleasant. This belief, which usually starts at an early age, is not true". Parents and teachers expect children to study, do their homework and get good grades. Sometimes, they use disciplinary measures against the children. This makes the children feel forced to do something they don't like doing. Telling a child often, that he or she is not concentrating well enough, creates a subconscious aversion to concentration and study. These become associated with coercion, lack of freedom, and doing something they do not like to do. When children grow up, it is no wonder that their power of concentration is too weak. Though most people would admit that good concentration is a great asset, yet, most of them, do nothing to strengthen it, because they don't know how, and because they lack the motivation to do so. Concentration can be fun, if approached in the right way. It should be practiced with joy, positive attitude, optimism, and understanding of its great possibilities. .

Thoughts claim our attention constantly, wasting our time and energy on unimportant and useless matters. They actually, rule our life. We have become so used to this condition that we regard it as natural. While breathing, we do not need to pay attention to each inhalation and exhalation. We become conscious of the process of breathing, only when we have some difficulty with breathing, such as when our nose is clogged, due to a cold, or when we are in an unventilated room. It is the same with thinking. We become conscious of the constant onslaught of our thoughts, and of our inability to calm them down, only when we need to concentrate, solve a problem or study. We are also acutely aware of them, when we have worries or fears. Examine this familiar situation. You need to study something for your job or for an exam. You sit comfortably on the sofa with the book in your hands and start reading. After a while, you feel hungry and go to the kitchen to eat something. You return to the book, but a few moments later you hear people talking outside. You listen to them for several moments and then bring your attention back to the book. After a while, you feel restless and switch on the radio to listen to music. You continue reading a few moments, and then remember an incident that happened yesterday, and start thinking about it. When you look at your watch, you are amazed to find out that one complete hour has passed, and you have hardly read anything. This is what happens when one lacks concentration. Imagine what you could have accomplished, if you could control your attention and focus your mind! A job that requires physical strength, such as carrying heavy loads, for example, strengthen the muscles. However, it is not the same as exercising daily in a gym. Reading and studying, exercise the mind, but to gain strong concentration, you need to practice exercises every day, just like training in a gym. |

“Everything will be better once we move”, “I will be happy again once I start all over again” , “life will be easier when I leave here ”…do any of these sound familiar to you? If so, I’d suggest you read on… There was a time when these comments were all too familiar to me. I was terribly guilty of relying on outside factors to determine my own level of happiness and I wondered why my moods would alter so much from moment to moment! It wasn’t until I really dug deep and changed my perspective that I was able to recognize that my own happiness does not come from outside factors but from the inside. Happiness is a function of acceptance; acceptance of yourself…your authentic self. Once you take the time to start focusing your energy on the present moment and stop waiting for things to change in the future you will recognize a powerful shift in your perspective. Always remember that there is a plan far greater than yours; therefore, replace fear of the unknown with curiosity and excitement for what lies ahead. So, instead of waiting on the winning numbers for the big lottery, take charge of your own life and happiness by becoming content and at peace with yourself…your authentic self.  Readersupdate..com |

Truly, our brain is geared towards a call of “Abandon ship!” , whenever we come short of our goals. Don’t let this happen to you! The best way to combat your brain from signaling ‘Mission Abort!’ after you’ve missed a short-term goal is to re-frame what just happened. Yes, you did fall short or maybe mess up this time, but remember the progress that you’ve made. You could look at all of the “good days” you’ve accumulated thus far: even if you fell after only a few days of starting your new plan , it’s still an accomplishment to have started one and to have set long-term goals for yourself. Short-term lapses in your end-goal is not like a bad apple spoiling the bunch: you have gotten things accomplished so far and you need to stay focused on the long term, not become distraught by a single mishap. Research tells us that this is the best mindset to take for misfortune and failure in general: your progress and achievements go so much farther than that slip-up; don’t let your brain convince you that all is lost More at readersupdate..co.ke |

There is a deeper consciousness inside everyone, hidden beneath layers of thoughts, feelings and desires. This consciousness is like a strong bulb of light, which covers upon covers of thoughts, feelings and desires hide. The purpose of self- inquiry is to remove the covers, let this bulb of light – this consciousness, shine unhindered. After removing these covers hiding your “inner self”, your awareness and insight expands, and you experience happiness, bliss and inner peace. You can compare this process to taking off the colored glasses, through which you see the world. This allows you to see life and reality as it is, without filters, leading you greater understanding about you and about life. How do you remove the colored glasses? How do you remove the covers hiding your deeper consciousness – your essence? You do this by removing the layers upon layers of thoughts, beliefs, feelings and desires hiding your true self. The process of removing the covers is called self-inquiry, and has been made available to the public through the teachings of a scholar Below, you will find a simplified version of how to use self-inquiry http://readersupdate..co.ke/2015/11/discover-yourself.html?m=1 |
