American scientists have found a direct link between the degree of concentration on a particular object and the number of involuntary (uncontrollable consciously) muscle contractions. Simply put, the more people spinning around, the less he is able to concentrate on something.
Well, what can you do?
Let us learn a few simple exercises on conscious control of muscle movements.
Exercise 1.
Sitting quietly. This is not an easy thing. It is primarily a test of your ability to focus, to delay involuntary muscular movement; after a little practice you will be able to sit still, not moving a muscle, fifteen minutes or more.
The best way to do this is as follows: sit in a comfortable chair, take a comfortable position, loosen up all the muscles and try to keep total calm for five minutes. If You succeeded, gradually extend the time to fifteen minutes; this time will be enough.
Exercise 2. Sit up straight (erect in his chair, lift your head, put forward the chin and move back shoulders. Pull the right hand in a horizontal direction to the right on the same level with the shoulder. Turn your head, please gaze at your hand; hold it in an extended position for one minute. Do the same with the left hand. When you will be able to perfectly perform this exercise, increase the time to two minutes, then three, and so on, up until you will be able to maintain this position for five minutes. The palm of the hand should be facing downwards, as this is the easiest position. Directing a glance at your fingertips, you will always be able to determine whether your hand is completely relaxed position.
Exercise 3.
Fill glass with water to the brim and take her fingers; pull the right arm straight ahead. Keep eyes on the glass and try so calmly hold your hand so it was impossible to notice fluctuations of the water. Start this exercise with a minute and gradually increase it to five minutes; it will border; exercise alternately right and left hand.
Exercise 4.
Smile. Smile, even stretched, relieves tension with the larger part of the facial muscles. And if You think at this time about something pleasant, relaxed and muscles of the neck and shoulder girdle. Try to get balanced manner and gait. Develop a pleasant appeal and self-control instead of nervous and very anxious type.
Train yourself calmly and coolly to relate to sounds, which so far has made you wince, such as slamming doors, falling books or any other things, etc., the Following exercises will provide you with a significant help.
Exercise 5.
Sit straight in front of the table, put my arms around him and squeeze his fists, turning them palms up so that the thumb was on the other.
Keep your eyes on the fist; then gradually move the thumb, focusing all their attention on the action, as if it is of great importance for you. Then slowly pull out (straighten) your index finger, then the second, and so on until the last.
Then do the opposite: first, bend the little finger and continue bending of fingers further until the fist does not take his former species; the thumb will rest on the fingers. Continue the same with the left hand. Repeat this exercise five times during one session, then you can do it ten times.
This exercise will cause you fatigue, but you should emphatically to repeat it, as it is very important for you due to the development of your attention and it would be simple and repetitive actions; in addition, it will give you direct control over all muscular movements.
You will soon feel the beneficial impact that will have on you these simple and, at first glance, not very important exercise. You should not even for a second release of the stretching and bending of the fingers. This is the whole point. If you neglect it, thereby permanently lose all benefit from doing exercises.
Attention! Your consciousness will be outraged and will rebel against such violence; it will try all sorts of ways to get rid of this slavery. Needed here is an excerpt; you should insist that your each exercise was performed from beginning to end and not be distracted by more interesting experiences or lessons.
After finishing each exercise, praise yourself. Completing the whole complex, treat yourself to something nice, such as a chocolate bar.
And after some time you will feel that to focus on something now much easier!
