Exercises for the development of attention

Inattentive people are not easy to live.

They do not notice much of what is going on around them, badly remember people's faces, new routes, objects that see, rarely achieve great success at work, become objects of jokes.

That's why many are trying to find effective exercises to develop the attention of to improve their skills to concentrate on what is really important.

Fortunately, such exercises do exist.

What is attention and what contributes to its development?

Tell me, dear readers, what do you imagine when you say the word "attention".

I imagine a flash, which indicates that in the "photograph" in my head will capture an object, a person or something else.

And, this camera focuses very selectively: sometimes capturing what I need, sometimes - some useless muck in return for useful information.

Attention is of two kinds:

• arbitrary - you focus on some object, trying to remember it as detailed as possible;
• involuntary - you are without any effort, just under the influence of emotions remember something, and remember very well.

Attention is a very interesting thing.

Someone by nature is a very considerate person, someone - "scattered from the street Bassein", and someone has the gift of attentiveness is shown selectively.

Effective games for the development of intelligence

For example, my girlfriend Anna excellently remembers to the smallest detail the faces of people, their clothes, the interiors of houses.

Also its care can only be envied when it comes to remembering oral information.

No one ever reproached my girlfriend for inattention: neither teachers, nor teachers, nor colleagues.

Only a few close know her little secret: she becomes completely inconsiderate when it comes to remembering new routes and orientation in space.

Here, Anya needs to collect all her attention to remember the new route or location of the outlet in the market or something else.

And, as she does not try, her attention is constantly on something distracted, and to develop it even with the help of special exercises is not too and it turns out.

Is it possible to develop attention with the help of special exercises?

The answer is clear: yes, you can.

Exercises to develop attention can be very effective, if you choose those that really help and do not be lazy daily to train.

Pump attention like the muscles of the body, you can not, but the process itself is very similar: only regular exercise will help in the development of attention.

In order for the training to be successful, you need to visualize your attention, for example, present it in the form of a glowing beam that hits targets or flashbulbs( as I do).

Here are some more tips on how to strengthen the effectiveness of exercises to develop attention:

1. Do not combine training with the performance of a case - there will be no sense from it.

   You need to focus on one thing.

2. Make sure that your mental and physical condition is normal.

   If you are worried, upset, do not feel well, you will not be able to fully concentrate on the development of attention.

3. Create yourself optimal conditions for classes - make sure that nothing and no one distracts you.
4. Exercise proper effort and diligence during class.

5. Do not drop the exercise after a week or two, considering that they are useless.

   You will not see their effectiveness in more than a month.
