16. Rest by concentrating

The home remedy for unwanted thoughts in your head is concentration. At school you had to do it all, though it was often difficult. You could the beautiful weather and friends who waited for you outside, the lure of a dip in the pool or a game of football just not paying attention, you just had your homework doing. If you could not concentrate you had a hard time at school.

You probably discovered that your school, if you like something, the focus is often automatic. Focus – on things you like less – you can practice and you can become better at it.
Top athletes are trained to fully concentrate on one thing, such a perfect sprint 100 meters, or a double somersault in the rings.

Interestingly, all athletes who jump or sprint exercise in mind it nearly as much benefit if the training they do with their whole body. Measurements show that the same brains send signals, whether it is real or not. So you not only wear patterns you sprint or jump or lifting weights in practice smoother smoothly. It is measured that muscles of athletes may increase in size without physical exertion. There are even thinking exercises for breast enlargement.

Note that by focusing on themselves, you are not aware. You are so focused for such a computer game, that you do not hear someone calling you for dinner. Concentration is only a necessary skill towards awareness.

To your mind be quiet, you can practice concentrating on something that has no meaning. By giving your full attention to something that has no meaning for you, narrows itself to the one you think.
And since that one has no meaning, you will also not related thoughts. Of course, in the beginning still come through your practice through texts and images of your ego-roll in your head. Or everyday thoughts, for example, that you have shopping to do. That is such a habit that is unable to provide two to three leaves unlearn. However, with patience and perseverance you can still get head often and longer.

There are many methods of repeating a meaningless word – a mantra – by staring into the distance or in a flame of a candle. Anyone who googles for “meditation” or in the library looking for books on that subject is a lot of information. There are also numerous courses in that area of ​​Transcendental Meditation (TM) and to yoga and Tai Chi Zen. No matter how you get your head still, if it succeeds.
