Concentration challenge - Dec 3 - 9 2018
What are concentration problems?
Concentration is the ability to efficiently focus your attention on the tasks at hand. With adequate concentration skills, youll be able to block out distractions and inhibit actions that could cause you to lose focus, like irrelevant thoughts or sounds.
When youre concentration is at its highest, youll notice that you can work easier, faster, and better. Think about the last time you breezed through a report - you were probably focused and alert, helping you achieve your optimal working state.
Concentration problems become an issue when the inability to concentrate and focus on a stimulus impede your ability to get something done. You might find that background noise, your phone, or your own thoughts get in the way of working.
Concentration levels vary depending on the following factors:
- Dedication to the task
- Interest in the task
- Your ability to complete the task
- Physical and emotional state
- A conducive environment with few distractions
Once youre able to regulate these factors and get in the right mindset, youll see that youre able to focus better and block out irrelevant thoughts.

@DanaMH
I am going to do more of the things I like- reading, spending home time and being better to myself
@pamharley003
That is great to hear that you will be doing those things.
For me, getting enough sleep is crucial to keeping my concentration alive. I am trying hard to get to sleep earlier all this week.
@Offmytrack
That sounds like a great goal to start doing this week to help.
@DanaMH
The more I self care every day ( I try 3 times a day ) the more focused I am on things
@pamharley003
That is great that you are doing self-care and trying 3 times a day. I agree it helps us a lot to be more focused when we do things.
@DanaMH
Dana, great post!
What are you going to start doing to help with your Concentration?
Dana, I stick to focus improving meditation and also I made a change in my diet, I might having been lacking of something as a vegetarian, mostly vegan actually.
@amiablePeace77
I agree meditation is very important to help us. Our diet is very important as we age since it seems like our bodies process foods differently for some reason.
