SHARP STUDENT WRITES: “I am a bright student in school and can achieve high marks when I focus although I find it harder and harder to focus nowadays. What should I do?”
The mental habits (established thoughts, emotions, and impulses) that you have relied on until now are growing increasingly to get you going and keep you moving have increasingly unreliable, which is not a surprise because it happens to many of us as our brains form into teen and early adult years.
As you place more and more demand on your brain to deal with growing challenges in school (and eventually, the competitive work and business environments), the last thing you want is to discover unexpected limitations as you’re trying build a future for yourself.
My advice to you is that you adopt a new lifestyle of dynamic mental fitness into your daily schedule, in the same way you might adopt physical fitness into your daily schedule. Doing so would ensure that, day by day, you strengthen and deepen your MENTAL power so that you can rely on it, so that it will be there for you, so that you won’t have to struggle or find yourself at the end of the day looking back in regret knowing you could have done better and produced more.
To get that kind of consistency and unfailing reliability, you want to TRANSFORM your current ability to concentrate from solely dependent on ‘mood’ - you want to ELEVATE your mental concentration to a WELL-MASTERED SKILL, like a Master Carpenter who has had excellent training and expanding experience and who can execute his trade come rain or shine. In this way, you can SKILLFULLY stop distracting thoughts, gather FOCUS, tap into deep wells of endurance, and shut the iron doors of your will against invading distractions.
Training yourself in the actual SKILL of mental concentration will make it a CHOICE, rather than a hope.
If you take advantage of the training opportunities we provide, you’ll be on the right track in a very short time.
