CONCENTRATION

As physical exercise strengthen the body, concentration increases the strength of mind. Strong mind is not easily affected or disturbed by trials and tribulations of life. For improving concentration whatever activity we may be engaged in,we should try to be totally absorbed in it, however trivial it may be. At that time, except this activity the whole world should be dead for us. For example, even if we are eating a fruit at a moment, we should completely relish each morsel of fruit with our attention totally dedicated to it. If we are bathing , we should relish this activity fully, deriving maximum benefit from it by keeping our attention totally anchored to it. If you are reading a book, be totally absorbed in it for that time oblivious of any other thing. You should also learn to concentrate on uninteresting things also to develop real control of mind. Concentration in other words, means to learn to remain in the present moment which is the most desirable feature for success and happiness in life.

PLANNED THINKING

Ensure at various intervals that your thinking is planned and systematic and not haphazard and random. Unplanned random thinking , day dreaming is a sign of weak mind and indicates that instead of controlling your subconscious mind. You are being controlled it. Your conscious mind should remain fully active, in full awareness and maintain its master status controlling it servant.By going into passive, idle and day dreaming state, you encourage the influence of subconscious mind over your conscious mind. So ensure that only those thoughts in your mind which you really want to have at that moment. It has been noted in a survey that a sizable portion of one's life time is spent in wasteful thinking. This can be easily channeled for performing useful activities

POSITIVE THINKING

We give the least importance to this most important aspect of our life i.e. how we think. It is the single largest factor in building up of our personality and character. Develop the habit of viewing everything positively, even the most miserable situations. Negative thinking weakens the mind., makes it restless, agitated and impure. Convert every negative situation into positive one by readjusting your mental attitude. To quote an example as to how it should be done, suppose, someone abuses you or makes undesirable remarks in anger, then instead of feeling bad about him, just think that his mood is upset or he develop any malice against him. This is positive attitude. By having positive thinking, you will also to yourself favour able physical conditions and environment because by the law of psychic attraction, you attract physical condition and circumstances towards you according to your thoughts. For example, suppose you repeatedly develop a fearful thought that you may catch a particular disease start occurring in you. Such is the power of thoughts. They are as real as a solid stone. By remaining positive, you create an aura of positive vibrations around you which not only benefit you, but, all others coming into contact with you. This aura also protects you from the attack of any negativity released by others.

DON'T WASTE TIME

Normally it is seen that although we are running around here & there a lot, but without any concrete output. In short, we are simply dissipating our energy. Life is short and very precious. Timing is running very fast. Every moment we are coming closer to death. It can fall at any moment without any notice. Hence, don't waste any time here. We have to achieve maximum in this minimum time. Ensure that each moment we are progressing onwards and not shifting backwards. Don't waste your time in useless thinking, gossips and loitering here and there. Time which has been lost by you is lost for ever and can't be regained by you by any means. Time, like any other commodity, can't be stored. Time not utilized is wasted for ever. There is a saying: Waste your money and you are only out of money, but, waste your time and you have lost a part of your life.' Hence, always be busy in some useful constructive
