Your Personal Concentration Strategy     By Kavit Haria



Concentration is the utmost important tool in order to make the greatest success of anything you desire. You need to be able to concentrate your entire focus onto the idea you are developing in order to make it a full success. A successful person is able to fully concentrate on what does work for him and shut out any de-motivating or destructive thoughts.

Most people find it difficult to hold on to a thought for a long time, and this is natural as you seem to want to move. Hold on to a thought for long and you’ll move closer to what you desire, and the way to do this is to do daily, consistent action. If you will just practice a few concentration exercises each day you will find you will soon develop this wonderful power. To get full benefit from all the exercises and tools provided in this back, I suggest you read a tool, put away this pack and practice it.

Each and every one of us are human creatures, but like all, we need to be trained and developed to be useful and successful. If a person is trained to do something, and awakened from their state, they can achieve anything that they want, but the person who lacks the focus and concentration, is the one who will be at loss. All your real advancement must come from your individual effort.

Take this example… To be a successful athlete, you must have both fitness and concentration. If you are fully fit when running a marathon, but are not fully concentrating at the task at hand, you are not taking up every possibility to make an art of your work and life. We accomplish more by concentration than by fitness and so the person who is apparently best suited for a place does not always fill it best.

To create your own general concentration strategy, decide when you need to concentrate, how you will focus your attention, identify and learn how to deal with distractions and then practice your skills!

Working with a personal coach is the best thing to do in order to help you find the best strategies for yourself to become more confident, and then take small consistent steps to practice it each day.

Embracing Change    For many people, one the greatest fears they experience in life is the changes they are faced with when they believe they are not up to the challenge. Especially when the change is sudden and unexpected. Unexpected change, such as losing a job, death of a loved one, a natural disaster, your partner leaving you or a life threatening illness, can leave you feeling frustrated, scared, angry, stuck or even incompetent. And below all of that can be a feeling that you have lost a part of yourself that you will not be able to get back.

Positive Laughter   How many times a day do you find yourself having a good laugh? One, five, ten, thirty times a day? Chances are you don’t have a clue. But now that I’ve posed the question just think about it for a moment and take a guess. I’ve always felt like I’m someone who laughs a lot until I read an article about laughter. It made me think twice and absolutely raised my awareness around my laugh-o-meter!

Positive-Attitude  Recently I was sitting on my living room couch reading, when the howling of the wind and the pelting rain caught my attention. It was quite apparent that the wind and rain were doing their best to make their mark on this day. Although weather like this could have brought on a feeling of gloominess, I found myself filled with a great sense of peace, warmth and oneness with everything around me.

Staying Connected To Positive Attitude    I consider myself a very fortunate human being. I have a wonderful life that is surrounded by a group of loving, supportive family and friends. Some, who are reading this newsletter at this very moment. Along with all the joy I am exposed to everyday, I find myself being given opportunities to practice what I teach even when it feels impossible.  One of the areas I coach people with is helping them manage their energy. In other words, helping them stay connected to the emotions that allow them to feel good, no matter what is being thrown at them from outside circumstances. Is this easy to do? Sometimes and at other times it seems downright impossible. Recently, I was given the gift of being in the place that felt downright impossible.

When You Think You Can   How many times have you heard yourself say I can't, only to find that you really can and you did? It seems whenever we are faced with something that feels like it's beyond our ability we automatically go into the 'I can't do it' syndrome before we even consider the possibility that we really can. Too often we give up on ourselves before we even start having less faith in ourselves than others have in us or we have in others.

 How To Be Confident At Any Age   I remember when I was in my early twenties, heck, it was only a few birthdays ago (I'm 26 now). Flashback about five years and I was a fresh out of university nobody with a degree in business management that I just scraped a GPA 4 in (this is equivalent to a pass in Australia, university grades are 1-7, 4 being a pass, 7 being the best). I spent most of my university days lost. Half the time doing what I needed to get through my degree, the other half of the time indulging in whatever hobby took my interest. Throw in some tennis, a handful of casual jobs and lots and lots of glossy-eyed staring at the beautiful girls on campus and you had my life at university.
