Do you feel that you lack concentration and would like to strengthen this skill?
Lack of concentration seems to be very common, especially nowadays, with so many distractions, so much information, gadgets, advertising, and products that attract your attention in so many ways.
This happens everywhere: at work, at school, and at home. Walking, eating, exercising, studying, and almost all activities are done with divided attention, and therefore, not so efficiently, and at the risk of making mistakes and errors.
What is concentration?
It is the ability to control the attention, choose on what to focus it, and reject irrelevant thoughts and distractions. It enables you to become the master of your mind and not the opposite.
This is an acquired skill that requires some work on your part. It is like learning to swim, to drive or to dance. You don’t acquire these skills just by thinking about them. You need to practice them over a period of time.
