Exercise to Improve Concentration

Learn How to Concentrate

• Implementation 1:

  Take a book and count the number of words in any paragraph. Count them again to be sure that it was right. Start with another paragraph and when it becomes simpler count all the words on the page. Perform this mentally and only with your eyes. This is simple exercise to improve concentration.

• Implementation 2:

  Take a small simple object such as a spoon, a fork or a glass. Learn to concentrate on it and watch the object from all sides lacking verbalization, that is, with no words in your mind. Just watch the object without thinking with words about it.

• Implementation 3:

  Draw a small geometrical map, about 3 inches in size, such as a triangle, a rectangle or a circle. Paint it with any color you wish and concentrate on it. Only see the map. Do not think of any words, only the map exists. Watch the map in front of you and try not to strain your eyes.

• Implementation 4:

  Close your eyes and start to visualize the digit one in front of you and say "one" in your mind when you see it clearly. Allow the one to disappear and start to visualize the digit two and say "two" loud in your mind when you see it. Do this procedure up to 100 if you can.

• Implementation 5:

  Get an object like a half eaten cookie, a coin, a pen - anything. Try to relax every muscle in your body and concentrate on the object. Start thinking about its shape, color, material etc and try to memorize its form. Then close your eyes and try to visualize it in front of you. If you can’t, open your eyes again and start all over again. Follow this exercise to improve your concentration.
