How to stay focused in studies | Buddhism In English

I'm about the higher welcome to another video in today's video let's talk about how to stay focused during studies well this is a question that most of the students are from us one day how can we stay focused in studies I am easily becoming distracted I am my when my mind is rendering here and there so how can I concentrate my mind to studies well first of all let me ask you a question do you become distracted when you listen to your favorite song are you easily distracted when you watch your favorite movie whenever you

are doing something that you mostly like that you have the passion with do you become distracted no you don't you're well concentrated into that so what is the first secret behind this focusing power passion whenever you like something your mind is focused to that so the first step of building the focus to anything is to develop the passion or the desire to do that so that is why they say that do what you love or love what you do so maybe it is for the studies maybe it is for meditation if you have the passion

you will be well concentrated if you do not have the passion if you did not like what you're doing then your mind is going to be distracted so the first step is creating the passion towards it so the second step of creating the focus is to be happy with little achievements like little focusing times whenever you study whenever you meditate you may have little times of focus maybe for you may be concentrated for 10 seconds or maybe 15 seconds maybe 30 seconds maybe one minute what you have to do is you have to be happy

with that the thing that is with us is we are expecting many big things in our life but we are not happy with little things in our life so what you have to do whenever you are focused maybe for 10 seconds say I am happy with that admire it right without that you cannot create the focus so admire your little achievements that is the one thing that you have to do and the next thing is you have to reduce your distractions notice what you'd become distracted maybe social media maybe your mobile phone maybe is something

that you think of right so what do you have to do reduce those distractions stay away from those distractions right start to study if your phone is distracting you what you have to do keep that away for a little while right whenever you reduce or whenever you stay away from the distractions your mind become well focused that is another thing that we can do to create the focus in our mind and also remember focusing power is not an act it is a practice it is a habit so what we have to do we have to

practice this focusing power all this concentration again and again how to do it so whenever you are studying if you notice that your mind is rendering here and there maybe in several thoughts right but when you notice it when you become aware of it take back that distracted mind to your focusing point maybe to studies maybe to meditation take it back it may stay in the studies for a little while your mind may stay in the studies for a little while then it will become distracted again that is the nature of our minds so what

you have to do it again how to take it back and start to study when it is distracted take it back to the studies and keep on studying when you do it over and over again what happens is it creates this Power of Habit then you will you can create the focusing power in your studies so these are the little things that we can practice to create more focus and also before studying before you do anything that needs your forecast just meditate a little while maybe just close your eyes and focus here on your breathing

pattern to your in-breath and out breath right when you focus your mind to that you might we give that message or we give that signal to our mind and now you should be concentrated you should be focused so when you practice these things your mind will little by little get used to be focused so practice these little practices and make your life a better one
