Unwavering Focus

The focus of the mind is very important for success in the world and spiritual life also. The focus of the mind is very necessary for every aspect of life whether you want to grow physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.
So in today's topic, I am going to write about "How to create Resolute Focus".

In my humble opinion that most people can't concentrate today is mainly of two reasons

1. We're never taught how to concentrate
2. We don't practice. concentration

"If we're never taught  how to do something, so how we'll practice"

We've always been asked to concentrate on studies, eating, exercise, work, etc. But we're never told how to do it, how to perform it? Nobody showed us the way how to perform concentration.

Why we are always distracted?

If I say to be good at something you have to do it 8 hours daily and 6 days/week. And when you do that you seriously become good at those things. Have you ever thought why are you good at distraction, why you are easy to get distracted?. Its because you practice it daily, whether you're giving your time to social media, mobile phones, or anything else which you can call as a distraction because you are practicing it daily.

I've heard people saying that technology is a great distractor, social media is a great distractor. In my opinion first its a "NO" and secondly its a " YES".

LET"S UNDERSTAND IT BY AN EXAMPLE-

 You have a smartphone and it keeps on popping notifications with a sound, and you are holding it and saying how can I serve you, master, then my friend you live in that world of distraction because the technology is using you. But on the other hand, you choose to silent those notifications while you are working and using the technology more intentionally and you are in charge when to use or not, then you are doing a great job.

SO HOW TO BECOME GOOD AT CONCENTRATING-

• We start by understanding the mind, Its the most powerful and complex tool in the world. Let's understand from the monk's perspective.
• There are two things you need to understand - "Awareness and The mind"

"Imagine Awareness as the glowing ball of light that can float around and Imagine your mind as a vast space which consists of various sections in it like anger, jealousy, food, sex, happiness, joy, science, art, etc."

• To be concentrated is to be able to keep your awareness on one thing for an extended period of time.
• Don't let the ball of light(awareness) drift here and there.
• Try to focus on one thing at a time.
• Bring this practice into everything you do.
• Keep yourself aware of your actions.
• Whenever you do something, it could be anything just keep your awareness, energy on that task only.

What I've experienced nowadays that we all are trying to be a multi-tasker and thing it as fashion or a hot thing to be. But believe we are only damaging our power to concentrate and reducing the efficiency of our mind. So try to keep your awareness with you don't let the other immaterial or the living things to guide your awareness.
