3 Quick Fixes to Increase Concentration
3 Quick Fixes to Increase Concentration
Help improve the flow of oxygen to the brain. Blood
is the main vehicle of oxygen in our bodies. But blood gets pooled in
the lower half of our bodies as a result of gravity, and doesn't push as
much oxygen to the brain, where it helps improve concentration. In
order to help oxygenate the brain, get up and take a walk every so often
to get the blood pumping.
If you're stuck at work and you can't really carve out the time for exercise, try doing martial arts
at work (Horseback riding stance and a couple of kicks a punches does
the trick). These can include any number of things, including isometric
or aerobic exercises.
Remember to give your brain a quick break at least every hour, at most every 30 minutes.
If your brain has to concentrate consistently for hours at a time, it
loses processing power and your concentration levels slip. Better to
space your project out and take breaks or power naps in between in order
to reboot your concentration and keep it humming at closer to 100%.
Practice doing one thing at a time, and doing it to completion. If
you jump all over the place and start a new project before you've
finished the last one, you're telling your brain that it's okay to
switch from one subject to another. If you really want to improve your
concentration, you'll start trying to convince your brain to finish one
task before you move onto the next one.
Apply this philosophy to as many different tasks in your life as
possible. You may think that finishing one book before starting the
other has nothing to do with finishing work on one car before starting
work on another, but they're surprisingly alike if you think about. Even
the smallest tasks have reverberations in other parts of your life.
