Studies have shown that multitasking is extremely harmful to our ability to focus.
Jon Kabat-Zinn, CEO of Center Of Mindfulness at Massachusetts Medical University, said: “Concentration is the fundamental foundation of the practice of mindfulness. Your mindfulness is only as strong when the mind's ability to calm and settle down is equally strong. If we compare the ability to awake as a lake surface, in the absence of that necessary tranquility, the surface of the lake will have ripples and dust that make it impossible for us to feel everything clearly and accurately. ”
When we feel the mind is starting to look for something else, try to use our consciousness to get rid of all thoughts and re-focus on the task at hand.
One of the most effective ways Jon Kabat-Zinn has ever used is to turn off all mobile notifications and social networking sites. This is also a good start on your journey to eliminate all the distractions that might distract you from the task at hand. By turning off all notifications, you take back the control you want to not respond to your contacts.
Researchers at the University of Rochester have discovered that the practice of mindfulness can be seen as a way to increase your ability to focus on or perceive experiences in the present or present now.
More specifically, "The characteristic characteristic of mindfulness is described as a way to open up the ability to perceive and be attentive to all around." This is the state of mind that "sees things from a different angle" (reperceiving), a concept that implies that each individual can judge the experience of happening as a third person with a more objective stance. , separate from when they experience the incident firsthand.
Mindfulness researchers have pointed out: "Instead of being overwhelmed by drama with the story of our life, we simply step back and see it from a different perspective."
Every day, take a few moments to step back and see life in the most objective way, focusing on the big picture instead of the small details.
