01 Attention "stolen"
I believe you must have had this experience. On a weekend afternoon, you made a cup of tea and opened a book to read carefully. When you were not paying attention, you were... I was attracted by a message that popped up on my phone. Once you turn on your phone, it's hard to stop. After reading the information, watch a few more videos, take a look at the shopping links, etc.
An insignificant piece of information or an inadvertent phone call can seem to easily "steal" your attention. When you come back to your senses, you realize that time has passed quietly. The most important thing is that I haven’t read a few pages of the book I should be reading.
Why is our attention so easily "stolen"? Where a person looks, may not be the true yearning in your heart.
The reason why we are attracted to various advertisements is because advertisements attract our attention so easily. However, we often see only the good side, or the things we see have limitations. Information obtained through the eyes cannot help oneself without being processed and utilized by the brain.
We often have such a feeling. I obviously read a lot of seemingly useful information, but in fact I forgot all about it within two days. Because this information has not been thought through by oneself and cannot become part of self-worth.
So, for us, the most important thing is to focus on the information related to ourselves.
02 Attention is a powerful inner force
A person's attention is limited. When you focus on something, it's easy to ignore other things. When your attention is on others, it is easy to be infected by their emotions. When you focus on yourself, you can see changes in yourself.
When you realize the scarcity of attention, you can further focus your attention on important things.
Attention is a powerful inner force. When you focus your attention on something, you can become deeply aware of it.
It’s like eating. A piece of delicious food is placed in front of you. It focuses all the senses such as sight, smell, and taste. Only when you see the delicious food, you salivate, smell the fragrance of the delicious food, and use your taste buds to feel the taste of the delicious food. The true charm of food and the beauty it brings to yourself.
The power brought by attention is two-way, is it internal consumption or energy storage? It's up to you.
Just like negative emotions, when you focus on the reasons that cause you to have negative emotions, your negative emotions may become more serious. This situation is usually what we call internal friction.
However, what changes will happen to yourself when you focus on negative emotions? You may be able to truly notice your own changes, and by accumulating energy in the process of noticing, you can feel the power that attention brings to you.
03 Find your attention
When you understand the limitation of attention, and realize the process of energy accumulation by attention. Next, what you need to do is to regain your attention. The following points may help you.
1. Reduce focus
For most hot events, the easiest thing is to incite your own emotions. If you think about it carefully, many events themselves have nothing to do with us, but will make us fall into irrational emotions. Such information does not have much practicality for us.
2. Only focus on doing one thing at a time
Concentrate on doing only one thing at a time. This will not only improve efficiency, but also reduce mistakes. Don't think about doing several things at the same time. This will consume your attention too quickly and will only make you feel tired.
3. Consciously control yourself
But all people are inert. When I think about it and don’t want to do it, my brain can easily control my behavior. When this happens, the best thing to do is to do it immediately. Once you start doing it and keep doing it for a few minutes, the inertia will disappear.
4. Arrange entertainment time reasonably
Attention is limited. Once your attention drops, you might as well give yourself a short time to entertain yourself. Go outside for a walk, listen to a song, water a plant, etc. Relax appropriately to focus better.
Your attention is your core value, which is also an indispensable understanding for a person.
