If your concentration skills are lacking, it\u2019s not your fault. No one ever taught you how to concentrate and focus.<\/strong> In fact, most of us are experts at distracting ourselves.<\/p>\n You\u2019re probably pretty good at finding something to keep yourself busy. However, that something probably isn\u2019t very productive. It\u2019s just comfortable or entertaining.<\/p>\n Do you want to be successful or comfortable?<\/p>\n The world we live in is full of distractions. It\u2019s never been more challenging to concentrate than it is right now. If you\u2019re struggling to keep your attention on what matters, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n However, you can greatly strengthen this important skill and enhance your life as a result.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to increase your attention span, it\u2019s more effective to start by doing it little by little, especially at first. You wouldn\u2019t try to jog for 20 miles the first time you went running or try to bench press 300 pounds the first time you went to the gym. You\u2019d start at an appropriate level and move forward from that point.<\/strong><\/p>\n The same goes for training your mind.<\/p>\n See how long you can concentrate on a task before your mind wanders. Is it a minute? Five minutes? Start where you are and move forward from there.<\/strong><\/p>\n Slow progress is okay. It will pick up. Take your time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Very few people can concentrate well. You have a huge advantage if you can develop this important skill.<\/strong> Being able to concentrate well is a superpower when everyone lives in an age of distraction.<\/p>\n Concentration requires practice. If you\u2019re willing to do the work, this power can be yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If your concentration skills are lacking, it\u2019s not your fault.
