How To Get Focus In Life

   

                                                     
                               

We all have dreams for our lives, we all want better living, a better future, good education, etc. and for fulfilling these dreams we all set a few goals for ourselves but most of us never achieve them. Even we know what is right and wrong and have a complete awareness that what should we do to achieve our goals. Then what is there which prevents us to advance in the right direction??? Yes, this is the lack of focus or scattered thoughts that often distract us from the path which leads us toward fulfilling our dreams.

Now what to do to stay focused in life. here are a few points that we have to follow seriously if we really want success in life.

1. Need Balance.

The first step towards getting focus is that we have to create a balance in things that we are doing in our daily life. There is a very common technique that often suggests for getting mental focus or for goal setting, we should stop doing all of those activities abruptly which distracts us mentally, and start focusing on the things which are needed for achieving our goals.  But I personally feel that this is a very big mistake which we all do.  We are wrong if we stop watching tv, and turn off our music system. stop using social networks or playing video games, and only start concentrating on how we can get our desired goals, believe me by doing this we only get focus for two to three days then we start getting frustrated and would go back to our previous unhealthy routine  Because sometimes these things work just as a meditation. Often when we listen to music or watch tv, we forget our problems. So in a balanced form, these all healthy activities are equally important.

We just need balance, tv, music, social media, etc, or anything of our interest, there is no need to isolate ourselves from all of these things but we just create a little balance in it, with the help of time management. If we spend 6 hours on the net just for a fun sack. Now we should reduce this time to 2 hours. After doing this we would realize that these 2 hours give us more pleasure rather than the previous 6 hours. Because now you don’t have any burden on your mind of hundreds of pending things that need your attention. Then gradually we will reduce the time on those activities automatically which distract us from our goal.

2. Be In the Present Moment.

This is very important to maintain a certain level of focus. Most of us are usually busy regretting or blaming ourselves for our past mistakes or blaming others due to their mistakes we are suffering today, this state of mind kills our ability to think positively and we get depressed. And the others are busy planning for their future or daydreaming which makes them satisfied that one day they will achieve their aims. And that ONE DAY will never come because we are just planning instead of doing some effort to fulfill our dreams.  Unfortunately, both of these situations are very unhealthy. It is very important to live in the present moment which constantly reminds us that we still don’t get there where we want to be. This thought would force us to do some effort too.

3. Write Down What You Want To Achieve.

This is very important that you write down all the things which you want to do. it gives us a clear perspective. First, write down our present condition. Then write what you want to be and at last write down those points which prevent you to achieve your desired success, Then come to the measures which are needed to overcome these issues. It gives you a complete and clear picture of your life, and in light of these points you can be more focused and more clear in your thinking and it will boost your strength to do something practical.

4. Multitasking

These days life indeed gets very busy and time is running fast and to cope with this situation everybody wants to do many different things at a time. In some situations, we have to do many things at a time. But if we make it our habit, we would realize that multitasking is creating obstacles in our way instead of giving us benefits because when we start doing more than one thing at a time we will easily start giving more attention to the areas where we have more interest rather than those matters which need more attention or focus at that time. So it's better to focus on one thing at a time and avoid multitasking as much as possible.  

5. Take care of your health.

When we talk about caring health it means physical and mental health. If you are not physically and mentally healthy how could you do hard work or concentrate on your work? So physical exercise, as well as mental peace, are equally important. For mental calmness meditation is the best way or some healthy activities like music. chess etc are quite good. If your mind is at peace you will automatically get your desired focus in life.

And always remember that without staying focused it's difficult to get any success in any area of life, especially in this fast and modern age.
