Concentration of Mind
Oct 7th
How many of us really seriously and sincerely concentrate on our goals from start to finish with positive energy and focused concentration of mind?
I’m talking about fixed high-powered concentration of mind on a specific objective or task without thoughts of multiple future tasks, past thoughts, personal issues or fear of unknown!!
I wonder how fast could we reach our goals if we gave them our full concentration of mind consciously and subconsciously.
What’s really stopping us from having super mind concentration powers and making good habits that benefit us in the long run?
What if we made our nervous system our ally and associated feeling real good about working and taking the proper steps toward accomplishing our goals even if we are not sure exactly how yet!
Almost like that pleasurable meal or that pleasurable high from great sex in the height of love!
Most of us want to do the thing that is a dis-empowerment to us more than we want to do the thing that empowers us when we really get down to the truth. Our minds are so scattered with poor concentration that we cannot hold a single thought for 5 minutes without jumping from thought to thought.
This is so true when you sit and really think about it. We probably want to watch TV or sleep or relax more, go to the game or talk more or be lazy more than we want to take that one step to empower yourself which can be so simple when you learn to play the concentration game.
I struggled with this for a long time. I had great ideas and great moments that felt like epiphanies time after time over and over again. I would learn super empowering secrets and principles but for years, I had too much poor concentration to really see long-term goals through to the end.
My goals would shift from one to the next or I would spread my self-thin… especially with my music career.
I had no definite aim. I was overwhelmed with beautiful knowledge and inspiration but I suffered from the concentration problem.
I would go from one good idea to the next and one strategy to the next and one plan to the next and one hustle to the next. Trying to change so much but I wasn’t completing the projects I started to move on to the next in growth.
My energies were scattered and I knew nothing about how precise and specific my mind concentration needed to be in doing a specific task.
I would like to know if anyone else is or was going through this concentration problem or being overwhelmed and how did you conquer it.
I listened to the audio book, “Power of Concentration” by Theron Q. Dumont and “Though Vibration” by William Atkinson and I realized that I had been ignoring and dismissing some very important things. Like how important the sayings are “energy flows where attention goes” or “attention is like a beam of light.”
Can any of you hold a precise shaped picture of a box in your mind for 2 minutes with out your mind wavering? Try fixing your attention to a doorknob for 10 minutes to improve mind concentration!
I had to learn how to harness this power of attention and mind concentration. Then it seemed as though a way started being paved the more and more I realized this power existed. I started understanding and accepting the responsibility of multiple tasks with clarity on when and how to do them.
I understood that a concentrated mind is a powerful force that can create reality and change the flow of energy. Poor concentration comes from weak will.
Focus and Attention – How to Organise Your Time and Energy
Sep 18th
Achieving what you want in life is highly dependent on your focus and attention. Simply put: What you pay attention to and dedicate time and energy (=focus) each day will grow, increase and flourish. The following article will look at ways in which you can increase your ability to focus and pay attention to the things you want in your life.
Know where you are going
David Campbell wrote a book called “If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, You’ll Probably End Up Somewhere Else” and he is right. Where do you want your life to go? Do you have clarity over your important goals and the purpose they inject into your life? Do you start your workday by asking yourself ‘What do I need to accomplish today that is important?’
‘Need to be done’ are often daily activities like responding to emails, returning calls, finishing reports etc. They might be necessary but often they are not really that important in the bigger picture.
‘Important things to accomplish’ is the thinking that will help us take steps towards establishing and meeting long-term goals, improving relationships or creating and implementing new ideas.
Set your priorities right
The key to being effective and efficient is understanding the relative importance of the things we do and spend time on. Creating a ‘To Do’ list is only the start of such endeavour, next you need to prioritize. Ask yourself ‘What is important and urgent right now?’ Those things need to be completed first. Next are the items on the list which are either important but not urgent, or they are urgent, but not important.
Look at the reasons why you might be avoiding certain tasks: Is it because it is something you really don’t enjoy? Or because you don’t know enough about how to do it, you feel inadequate or not qualified enough to meet the requirements of the task? Or maybe it’s just because it is something that bores you. Some of those things might need to be outsourced to someone who is better suited for the task. By continuously avoiding things they eat up your valuable energy to do the things you DO enjoy and which are truly important and build the road to your ultimate goal.
Clarity over activity
The most precious resource that we possess is not money, it is time. We all are given 24 hours each day. How much of that time you spend on things that are important to you? What are you most profitable and valuable activities that have the biggest payoff on your investment of time and energy? Once you’ve made a list of those activities organise your day to spend 60 to 80 % on doing them. This still leaves you 20 – 40 % to deal with the rest.
Have an agenda
If you want to stay focused, you need an agenda. It tells you what you want to achieve both in the present and in the future. This brings us back to the first point in this article. So, do you know now where you’re going?
