How To Improve Your Ability to Focus and Concentrate

Remember Bruce Lee?

The name Bruce Lee commands respect and admiration from all over the world. The diminutive man, who stood 1.73 meters tall and weighed less than 65 kilograms, is considered by many as the greatest martial artist of the 20th century. His dynamic on-screen style and stunts impressed fans from all walks of life, and he became one of the most enduring screen icons in the history of motion pictures.

He was a hero to many young boys. In the 1970’s young men from across the world wanted to be Bruce Lee.

He worked hard. He trained hard. He had a tremendous work ethic.

Bruce Lee was once quoted saying, “a successful warrior is an average man with laser-like focus.”

That’s easy to say but with all the daily worries, troubles and concerns we have to deal with, it’s pretty hard to do.

The ability to concentrate and focus is a daunting task, especially when your mind is ridden with stress and distractions.

I believe the following are in your control:

1. Learn how to remove yourself from all the distractions. A quiet corner and a locked door make a world of difference.
2. Learn not to give in to temptations. When you hear the television blaring, don’t go and see what show is playing at that moment.
3. Learn to push yourself to the limit if you want success.
4. Learn to have planned and rewarded breaks. If concentrating is just too difficult at the moment, then reward yourself with a few minutes breather. For every two hours concentration have a 10-minute break.

Think about the benefits you’ll reap when you push yourself. No one rewards the lazy, and pitfalls come to those who procrastinate.

Learn the value of focus and concentration and experience the benefits.
