How to Improve your Attention

An exercise to Improve Attention
Improving attention through visualisation is easy and will help you improve your ability for selective attention and focusing.  Improving your attention will also help improve your memory.  All you have to do is focus your attention on one thing.  This thing can be a pen, a visual image, or anything else.  Keep your attention on the object or image and notice all aspects of it.  Notice the colour, texture, shape, function and meaning.   When ever your attention becomes focused on something else other than the object or image, just gently bring your attention back.  You can start with 2 minutes of focusing and then gradually increase the session over time. This exercise will help your ability to maintain attention in conversations, on your task and on your goals.  Don't forget to do this exercise in a comfortable position, such as sitting on the floor, pillow or chair and to use a meaningful object or image.  

Benefits of Improving Attention
Self-awareness and being self aware of others is an important aspect in maintaining focus.  Improving your attention will help you will learn to identify how you feel, to trust yourself, and to know your strengths and limitations.  When you need to focus on group work or to maintain a conversation you will learn about the other person's likes, dislikes and goals without judgement but full acceptance because your attention will stay with what is in front of you rather than shift to another topic, idea or object.
