Concentration is the prerequisite of everything we do. Students, professionals, sportspersons, and artists all need to concentrate. To perform daily chores more efficiently, concentration is required. Concentration adds to work quality and time management. Many people visit me seeking help to improve their concentration and that encouraged me to write this blog.
What is concentration?
Concentration is a means of eliminating distraction and enhancing your work quality by focusing on the work at hand. The other day a mother of an Std X student came to me complaining that her child was not concentrating on his studies. After every 15-20 minutes the child is lost in her mobile responding to chats or playing games with friends. She was perturbed about her board results. I understood her trepidation and explained her child’s situation to her, the planetary positions that make her daughter and numerous other children suffer from this malady and forget about their studies. Sometimes they do not understand the text and because of their inability and effort to understand, dismiss it. If the student cannot concentrate, I suggest a quick and effective remedy would come from wearing a Rudraksha.
Concentration is dependent on practice, distractions like mobiles distract us making us unable to give complete attention to our work. Various situations like messages on WhatsApp from friends or work-related office groups can act as an impediment to concentration leading to delayed work.
Some, of course, can work with concentration despite these barriers while others find it hard to break away and lose out on valuable time causing harm to their careers and lives. A person falling short of concentration can follow my suggestions to enhance their concentration. If those do not work, you can consult an astrological coach, who has mastered the power of 16 Mukhi Rudraksha. The effects will boost intelligence, sharpen the power of speech and creativity, along with memory, effectively binding concentration and take you ahead in realising your goals with success.
How to win your concentration?
Attractive diversions in life are sometimes hard to avoid. Some seem tempting while others are necessary. So how do you deal with them? Getting your mind together amid chaos isn’t easy, but achievable. With a few changes in your behaviour and environment, you can work out a perfect balance and complete the work at hand. Let me teach you how.
Make sure you create a comfortable atmosphere for yourself
If you are working amid noise you cannot stop, you have to find a way to go around the chaos to reach your goal. When working, if you get distracted by office colleagues talking about clothes, cricket, the share market, or politics which interest you, the instant temptation is to join the gang, overlooking your work. Knowing when to stop, is prudent. Mobile is a constant source of distraction that draws you to browse the latest posts on social media or messages on a chat app. During exams, your invigilators are in a chit-chat mood, diverting your attention, you cannot ask them to be quiet as they are your teachers. So how to zone out of these distractions?
I would advise practising meditation. Start the day by probing inwards to calm your mind. This is an exercise that will teach you to focus on small portions. Sit straight, close your eyes, a deep breath with attention to the breathing will help drive unnecessary thoughts out of the mind. Following this regularly will increase your concentration little by little. Meditation helps you to seek comfort from every situation, and to easily adapt to the surroundings. Remember it does not happen in a day, it takes months to reach a level of concentration, the key is to keep steadfast. People often complain that they do not have the patience to continue. Students particularly find it difficult, sometimes the situation makes practising meditation inappropriate. For them, an easier path would be taking help from a rudraksha coach. Rudraksha will enable powerful mind management to increase concentration. For students falling in the age group of 6 to 16, I advise a powerful combination called ‘Saraswati Bandhan’ which includes two beads of 4 Mukhi 12 Mukhi and one bead of 6 Mukhi. This combination is best suited for improving concentration and consistency in studies along with luck and confidence. Once this Rudraksha combination is worn, you will see how your mind responds to your commands easily and you can concentrate without any distraction.
Make your surroundings comfortable
You can add elements that calm your mind at your workplace to help harmonize the surrounding with your mind. Plants and pictures that you associate with, can help balance your mind and take you directly to your work cutting the noise and helping you focus. Pictures of your spiritual guide, tucked in one corner of your table, can get your thoughts together when it seems impossible to direct your thoughts in the most effective direction.
Exercise, sleep habits and nutrition
Concentration does not come in a day and must be streamlined by following correct habits. Including exercise in your daily routine will help you keep your mind together. Simple yoga, pranayama, running or just walking by yourself can help calm the confusion inside your mind to a great extent. Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a day. Sleep has a therapeutic effect on the mind. A balanced nutritive diet, that consists of easily digestible food, helps your mind and body to stay active and win any situation with ease. This is easier said than done as many situations in life do not always permit you to maintain this rigid discipline. Your astrological coach can guide you to choose the appropriate 15 or 17 Mukhi Rudraksha for fixing your problem.
Training the mind
Your mind is prone to stray therefore schooling the mind and scheduling it is the most effective way of getting your concentration together. Prioritize your work from high to low-attention tasks. Start with things that require your immediate attention as the highest point of focus. Set a timetable to complete the work and don’t allow yourself to be distracted till you are done with that work. Things that distract you like emails or messages should be kept aside for a time. However, if emails from the office are important, then set targets, once you complete a short target, check your email or messages. If it can wait, postpone it till you complete your work, if you cannot then check and respond quickly so that you can get back to your work.
You could be worried about something in the workplace or some personal home problem that may affect your performance. The golden rule is to set aside all thoughts for after work. Once you are working or studying, try not to entertain those thoughts. You will not be doing justice to either if you let your mind divert in different directions.
Strong willpower is what you must try and develop to negate unwanted thoughts. Concentrate on the specific thought and work on the single task at hand. When you begin to put your work in slots, you will find yourself managing your work better. This practice will help you develop your willpower to the point where nothing can distract you. The power of strengthening willpower is no easy task and takes years of practice to gain the level of perfection. Therefore, consult a Rudraksha coach who will select the most appropriate 18 Mukhi Rudraksha to alleviate your willpower that will never deflect your attention.
Work on your memory
Memory is a great way to hone your brain power. Being well informed is an advantage and delivering the information articulately from memory is a brilliant way to master your mind. You can stay focused easily if you practice working on expanding your memory. Start by memorising poems, songs, quotes, interesting anecdotes, mathematical tables, and stotram, widening your vocabulary by including new words in your speech. The intensive learning practice will help you delve deeper into a subject and boost your concentration level. Children can be made to practice this from childhood, but I have found many who tell me that despite practising the art of enhancing memory, they tend to forget things when it matters. In an office presentation, they are putting forth their narrative in an effective manner. Linking an anecdote to it will help, but at that juncture they fail to recollect what they wished to narrate, spoiling the impact of the presentation. A student attempting exams wanting to quote from a famous personality to elevate the quality of the answer ends up forgetting the quote he or she wishes to sync with the writeup. All these gaps in the mind can be filled with practice, however, if you include the memorising exercise with a combination of rudraksha, the results would be much better. I would recommend, that instead of single beads the effects would be quite remarkable if the child wore 3 rudraksha beads. That would drive away distractions converging the mind with greater strength and focus helping the child to counter different problems that add hurdles to studies.
The best path to follow
While good practices are the most effective solutions to facilitate concentration, following them alone may not always bring the results that you seek from your work. If discipline can be matched with the qualities of a specific rudraksha, you end up creating the best opportunities in life. Your road to success will be unhindered and inevitable. Make positive changes to life and give your life renewed growth with the enhanced power of a rudraksha. Consult Jyotirmoyee Sushmita, a leading Rudraksha consultant in Kolkata.
