What Nobody Taught You About Concentration

From getting up in the morning to sleeping at night, we do many different things. But when it comes to doing the same thing again and again every day, we go off the road or get bored if we say it in easy language.
Concentration is the most important thing to do any work carefully. But have you ever thought what is this concentration? Because we have been asked to work with concentration since childhood.

But two things are never taught to us.
First, how to concentrate?
And second, how we can practice concentration.

So when we are never taught these things, how can we expect that we can apply concentration in our work.

DISTRACTION IS THE MONSTER

Now think that you are learning something that you like very much. Like, in our childhood, we learn to ride cycling with great pride or any such thing. So the question is, do we become master in it in a day? The answer is no. Because when we practice a lot, then we learn something very well. So now think that if we practice distraction like this throughout the day then we will become expert in it or not?

This is the law of practice. Whatever we repeat over and over, we become experts in it.
Then why are we not experts in concentration? Because we are not taught to concentrate. All we are asked to do is concentrate. We have to learn to concentrate and then practice it again and again and master it.

TECHNOLOGY IS THE DISTRACTION?

Things like smartphones, internet distract us the most. But is that really so? Technology is not a bad thing, as long as we are its master. If we are controlling technology then that is very good thing, but if technology is controlling you then you have become the master of distraction.

As soon as the tone of the notification in your mobile rang and you were attracted to it, then you are completely distracted. You can switch off the mobile while doing any important work or at least you can bind the notification tones. The question is, do you do this? Only you can answer this. 

MASTER OF CONCENTRATION

To get better in concentration, we will start with human mind. It is the most powerful tool in the world. So tell me when was the last time you saw the manual to understand the mind? Even after buying a small item, we get a manual of it and here we are talking about the most powerful tool in the world. But we never got any manual of mind.

To be good in concentration, we must first understand the mind. Because as soon as you understand how the brain works, you will also learn to control it. And as soon as you have learned to control it, you will also learn to focus. Because you cannot concentrate or focus on something until you understand it.

HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK?

It is very important to understand two things first. First, there is awareness and the second thing is mind. We can think of awareness as light. Wherever the light goes, it illuminates the place. Now in the same way, consider the brain as a very big area. One place where there are many sections. Where one area of ​​the mind is anger, jealousy, food, happiness, joy, science, art, etc.

Now this light of awareness can travel anywhere in these areas of the brain. And wherever that light goes, it illuminates that area. When it lights up that area of ​​the mind, you become conscious of it.
So the most important thing is that to keep concentration at one place, your awareness should also be on the same.

So now it must be understood that one is our awareness and one is our brain. So when you are distracted, at that time your awareness is distracted and not your mind.

ONE THING AT A TIME

Now how to keep our awareness in one place for a long time? The answer is, focus on only one thing at a time. And how to increase concentration? So the answer is, by practicing this thing in all our work.
Just remember one thing that we cannot teach properly by doing any work once.

We fell again and again when we learned to walk as a child. You did not learn all the features of the device in which you are studying this. You have to repeat the same thing again and again. And now talk about how you can apply this thing now, so whatever work you are doing from morning to night, do that work with a lot of focus.

Do not take mobile in your hands while brushing in the morning. Just concentrate on brushing. If you are talking to someone, then keep your full attention only on that person. It is not like this will happen all at once. But by practicing again and again, we can learn anything, then concentration will be learned in the same way. And the more you practice, the better you will become. And as soon as you learn to concentrate, you will learn to focus all your energy on one thing.
