How to focus your mind?

The quality of our life depends on how much we can focus and what we concentrate on.

Our focus depends on:
If it is exciting and challenging?
If it is overwhelming?
If it is boring?
And of our attitude.

Milton said: the mind can make out of the hell a paradise and out of the paradise a hell.

How can we improve our focus?

We focus only on one thing and if the mind is wandering, bring the mind back to that subject…

If our capacity is below the challenge then that leads to anxiety, uneasiness, strain, tension…
If our capacity is much higher than the challenge it leads to boring…
If the problem solving is in balance, we get in the flow…

If we have a challenge, we need to learn the skills to solve that problem.
After some time, we can do so and it becomes boring.
Then we have to upgrade our skills to keep our focus.

We have to increase the challenge to meet our abilities.
If the challenge is beyond our abilities, it puts us under pressure.
Then we have to chunk it down so it meets our ability.

Our focus depends also on our Self-interest.

If we are eager and passionate to solve our problems, we set ourselves under tension and so we are losing our focus.

So more we are selfish to acquire our goals so more tension we build up that prevent to gain our goal.

If I think I need that for myself,
I am always under tension.
Selfishness leads to a scattered mind.
It leads to a narrow focus on myself/self-interest.
We become more vulnerable, and so we are open to anxiety and frustration.

An unselfish mind is a relaxed mind!

So more we are doing good for the organization so more we gain focus.
It is not so much what I get out of it, it is more what I can do for others.

The Gita is telling us, that Identification is sorrow.
If we surrender our deeds to the Lord or do it even as worship…
We gain bliss through our actions.

What is spirituality?

Spirituality is when I close my eyes, I find peace inside of me.
When I open my eyes, my attitude is what can I do for you…
What can I do for the world or for the Lord?

Worldliness is the opposite…
What can I get out of that?
The focus on selfishness leads to unpleasantness, tension, and frustration.

Unselfishness is to be relaxed and be focused.

Love leads to focus.

What I love, my mind can easily focus and that leads to a focused mind.
For instance, a mother loves her child, and all her actions will be relaxed.
