Small exercises for concentration

Concentration is one of the important elements that we need in order to perform tasks quickly and efficiently. If you often catch yourself thinking wander off somewhere else while trying to finish what you started, or you notice that you need something for a much longer time than is really necessary for concentration exercises can help you.


As we do exercises for the body to stay in shape every day, or repeat words from foreign languages so they stay in our memory, concentration exercises should be repeated regularly in order to take some effect. Ten minutes a day can be enough. These exercises should be done in a quiet room,becuse firstly you need to relax the body and forget about any tension. If you fail to do this exercise, start from scratch and repeat until you do it right, but it should not take longer than 15 minutes a day. Only when you are able to complete an exercise, go to the next one.


Exercises:


  •  Choose a book and count words in a paragraph. Do not track your finger or count them with the help of pencils or something else, but just by looking at them. Count several times, to convince youoreself that you got the exact number.

  •  Count backwards from 100 to 0 inside your head.

  •  Now count backwards from 100 by skipping every third number, meaning: 100, 97, 94 ...

  •  Select a word or a sound and repeat it for five minutes.

  •  Select a fruit. Study it for two minutes, but dont' think about where you bought it, how heavy it is, but just look at its texture, color, smell, touch it to feel its crust. After that, leave it aside, close your eyes and imagine it, thinking only about what you observed earlier. If you do not have a clear picture in your mind, open your eyes and repeat the exercise until your image does not crystallize.

  •  Take some small object, such as a spoon and watch it from all sides, but as you look at it try not to imagine any words. You just have to watch.

  •  Draw a simple geometric shape and paint it whit color. Watch it, but do not think about anything else. As in previous exercises, you should not imagine any words in these moments, there should be only the form, nothing else.


The more you practise, you will have better results!
