Lack of Concentration and Focus-I

It was quite a tiresome week and failed to practice my 10 Minutes of meditation daily, but found some simple key factors that disrupt my concentration unknowingly but willingly, the main things were

1.      Television (Remedy: I have asked the cable TV guy to disconnect the connection from this month

2.      Face Book (Remedy: Took a resolution not to open the Face Book except when I would be in rest room)  

3.      Lying Down Simply (Remedy: Try to schedule your day by having some new tasks to be done daily whenever I get time to lie down - Like reading self-improvement books, working and trying to improve on my preferred interest’s like photography, creativity on simple things, etc...)

I think all the above three points are the major (Time & Concentration) looters in the whole 24hrs I have in a day. It may differ in others life but will resemble something closely to the above three which is looting your (Time & Concentration).

Valuation of time really matters when it comes to “Concentration & Focus” Why?

Here is what I found!

When we start utilizing our time for aspects that doesn’t benefit us on our growth progress (unless you consciously realize what you are doing is useless), we train our “Brain-Sub-Conscious” to be idle on something which keeps us away from the reality.

What is the reality you are in?

1.      Have to complete my home work

2.      Have to complete my Practical Record work

3.      Have to complete revising the  portions before my exams

4.      Have to learn new functionalities or modules which will help me in this new project

5.      Have to Read documentations related to my job which will help me decide things better

6.      Have to reduce my body weight

7.      Have to learn new concepts

The above are some of the examples of things which are in the reality, what requires our attention and time.

Then why do we deviate or get distracted from all these and do things which is no way near in helping to complete any of my reality task and we do what we like to do!

 

Just watching Television, Just Lying on the bed, Just Playing Video Games for hours to gather,

 just chatting with friends about useless subjects this is how your sub-conscious mind consoles

 your conscious mind using the word “JUST” and it knows very well to advocate your conscious

 mind and you have started to train your sub-conscious mind even before you were born.

Ok now let’s concentrate on “Was Sub-Conscious mind pre-programmed with what it likes and what it dis-likes”

To an extent YES!

There are some likes which are pre-programmed within your sub-conscious mind which has travelled through your Gene, but none of those can influence over your conscious mind. No one knows the extent or depth of the pre-programming that is imprinted with every individual’s sub-conscious mind.

But most of the Pre-Programming that comes with your Sub-Conscious can be over-ruled by your conscious mind through practice which will re-write the Gene that will be transferred to your offspring, if this was not a fact still we would have been “Animals” in nature.

Now we will concentrate only on the other factor(rather than Pre-Programming) that influences our Sub-Conscious mind with the Likes and Dis-Like those are related to our productiveness.

Some of the other factors are (Surroundings, Parents, Relations, Friends, Teacher, School, College, Company you work with, the girl you loved the most, etc…)

Your mind will be Calm, Quiet, Peaceful, Happy and Enlighten when you are in solitude. (It’s a Proven Fact)

Why So?

It’s the nature of the human mind to stay happy when it’s left to do what it wants to

When you are not in solitude, it means by some way your thought are influenced and cannot be free as it was when you were in solitude and starts to behave restricted, because you cannot be who you are? In presence of another human and you will have to behave with social responsibility all of a sudden. This social responsibility was not crafted for you which may suit your thoughts and behavior, an simple thing “If shouting loudly to the sky makes you feel happy and relieved” you cannot do that as you wish when you are at social places.

So what happens here? Your Society puts an indirect pressure in you sub-conscious mid or in-direct image in your sub-conscious mind stating that you are free & happy only when you are alone with no human nearby.                

Now think the way around!

If the nature of the human mind will be happy, only when it has got a company of another human.

When you are in solitude you cannot feel the happiness, as when you were with company. Your sub-conscious mind will behave restricted and abnormal because you cannot be who you are? As your mind seeks company to be complete and will be happy only in the presence of another human.

This is a very basic behavior of your sub-conscious mind. Your Sub-Conscious mind gives you the happy feeling when you do things in the way it likes it!

So here comes the fact!

To stay happy! do whatever your sub-conscious mind loves or train your sub-conscious mind to love whatever you do!

Here is where we have failed for so many years until now!

From the child hood until now, no one is bothered to understand what you love! You are fed with things what others love Or They think it’s the best for you and they did not teach you, how to? Love the subjects you were thought about.

Most of them did not know how to present a concept in the way our sub-conscious mind would have loved to understand it.

That’s the reason some kids are bright in some subject, it’s not that they are weak in other subjects it’s because their sub-conscious mind was not interested with other subjects.

So what does the sub-conscious mind do when it’s not interested in a concept? It just distracts our mind with the thoughts and information that we are interested with, this is called as the “Lack of Concentration”. This is what that makes you think about rain forest when you are in middle of a Math class.

This is what is happening to me right now!

As I don’t do much of the things my Sub-Conscious mind loves, it brings in the next least favorite unproductive things like watching TV, Browsing on the Internet and Lying down simply - even though my sub-conscious mind do not love to do all these things but it finds these least possible things to keep me engaged and make me feel better than to get engaged in any of the  “Productive” activity which my Sub-Conscious mind does not like for so many accumulated reasons that its has learnt so far.

Hence I will have to find a way to teach my Subconscious mind to love the things that I will have to do, in order to be productive. Unless I find a positive way to train my sub-conscious mind to love the things what I have to do, all my efforts to rectify would go in vain.

Why is this?

As always we have a habit of associating productive work with our job or Reading any kind of books with studying,  knowingly or unknowingly!, here is where a complex illusion is created in our sub-conscious mind which depicts that whenever you do something productive even though it is not related to your Job or you read any self-improvement book even though its nothing related to any of your degree programs, your sub-conscious keeps on putting a pressure in your mind which gives a tiresome feeling and pushes you to exit what you are doing with the “comfort zone activity”.   This later on pushes us to be in the comfort zone most of the time even though you are at work!

I have decided to abandon the above said three habits and will be testifying myself to see if these changes would really matter on my (Lack Of Concentration & Focus).

Will keep this blog posted.
