TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR CONCENTRATION

by: Junji Takano

 

Are there any techniques for concentration? It sounds easy to

concentrate, but there are individual who have difficulties in

concentrating. Here's an easy concentration technique for them.

 

Concentration is an elusive state of mind. Ironically, the more you

think or worry about concentration, the less you're concentrating on

the task.

 

Sometimes, you are confused about the difference between

concentration and meditation. Meditation is a self-directed practice

for relaxing the body and calming the mind. We believe that

meditation techniques came from religious sectors in India, China,

Korea and Japan. Concentration is a technique or an action to focus

on one thing in mind.

 

How to know or distinguish concentration?

 

In the midst of the playing cards, take about 6 cards, and tell your

friend to choose one of those cards and let him remember the number.

Your friend is now concentrating to remember one card he chose. Now,

your friend can remember none of other 5 cards. It means that your

friend concentrated on one card. This is concentration.

 

It is essential to do sport, work, study and many other things.

Concentration perhaps is a MUST for everyone of us unintentionally to

satisfy daily living.

 

Let's take the simple case of your schoolchildren who do their

homework. " Hi, children, it's examination soon. You must concentrate

more on your homework. " Your children maybe just wandering how to

concentrate for their homework.

 

Here, we tried to investigate how concentration occurs in the brain.

At first, we requested an abacus champion to calculate a five-page

accounting sheets in a schoolroom. When he started hitting the

abacus, rock and roll music was played aloud, but surprisingly, the

champion appeared to be not noticing the lousy music around him. It

means the abacus champion was really concentrated calculating with

the abacus.

 

Another instance was prepared. A famous magician was invited to a

small room in a hospital. Three doctors were invited to see the

magic. The doctors were told to find the trick. While the magician

was performing at the stage, a nurse with a white pig passed through,

then the nurse with a monkey passed through, and then three nurses

passed through. However, when we asked about nurses passing through

the stage, the three doctors did not notice them at all. The doctors

were indeed concentrating to see the trick of the magic.

 

The abacus champion and the three doctors were able to concentrate

easily. Or they were made to concentrate simply without any form of

suggestion. Yes, concentration is born simply. Truly, anyone is made

to concentrate simply. It is just a matter of a simple technique or

brain system that triggers concentration.

 

For you to believe, let's try to make an " Egg and Spoon Race " .

 

See

for photos.

 

You can understand that all runners are concentrating not to drop the

egg from the small spoon. However, when the loud speaker announces a

certain story of a particular runner, the addressed runner dropped

the egg. It means the runner's concentration was broken by the

disturbance of the announcement.

 

We have learned that our brains will work very narrowly when we

concentrate. Our brain consists of several parts such as for

accounting, memory, viewing, and listening. When we concentrate, only

the selected part of the brain works. The people who cannot

concentrate usually try to listen or hear as much as possible.

 

Yes, the ear, hearing or listening noise could be the number one

disturbance when concentrating.

 

What is the technique to eliminate such noise or obstacles when you

want to concentrate?

 

We visited a toy manufacturer that has tremendous number of

productions and all workers need serious concentration. A mistake or

poor quality control will create a huge amount of loses in the

production line, thus, high concentration of all workers are required

in the factory. The manager of the factory told us that women have

higher concentration ability than men. For that reason, the factory

has applied all women workers in specific department. The factory is

constructed with soundproof materials with several speakers mounted

inside the ceiling.

 

No music sound comes from the speakers but sounds of stream, seaside,

and sounds of forest. They are all sounds of nature.

 

From this, we understand that the sound that has nothing to do with

workers can make them concentrate. The sound that creates them to

think something like what happened during the egg and spoon race will

disturb and make them hard to concentrate.

 

The sound technology for concentration has been applied quite a long

time ago, especially in various offices in major cities in Japan.

 

Probably, the following are also clues for concentration techniques

to switch the brain " ON " . For example, set a goal like... " If I'm able

to concentrate well on this work, I will go to a restaurant to eat

what I like " or " The school examination is coming, I will surely

pass " .

 

Before concentrating, relax and do not put yourself in place where

your ears, eyes and interest will go around. Do a few times of deep

breathing. Drinking a cup of tea or coffee is good. Taking a bath or

shower is also good. All these preparations will trigger the

brain " ON " for concentration.

 

Concentration makes us tired. It is the reason, as mentioned

previously, that you write your name, address, and names of your

friends during some hours of interval. By doing it, your

concentration skill will increase.

 

There are Japanese temples where they teach Buddhism way of

concentration and meditation. However, some supervisors of large

factories told us that their methods are not applicable to their

works. Technique of concentration differs on the place you apply. How

is your idea, then?
