Focus!

If you want a clear mind, learn more quickly, and upgrade your abilities mentally, you’ve got to do a number of things, like eat right, but that's not the only thing you should do. For years I wasn't learning about how to properly fuel my body. I would eat Luna Bars thinking I was doing the right thing. Thankfully, years later I learned about nutrition, something I am still learning and on the quest to learn more. I know now that if you eat bad, if you think about terrible things, you’ll find a combination of grossness comes over you. Processed and chemical foods an have lasting impact decades after regular use.

Here are a few things you can do to boost your mental focus

1. Your mindset is important! If your brain isn’t properly aligned, then all that will happen is you’ll go around in mental circles faster.

Here is an example: Say you’ve got a test you want to take. Now this test is a big one, and you’re afraid of it, so you procrastinate. You organize your books. You make a study schedule. You research everything but the pertinent information. Your body was in alignment to learn, but your mind was in the wrong direction.

2. Know that Sublime lyric? “Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head!” Yeah, I realize the “source” isn’t great, but that lyric is so spot on.  The idea is to work smarter, not harder. And sometimes that means you need to do something drastic. Like change your scenery.

Maybe you need a huge, life-changing excursion. Think of it like flushing your mind much as an old etch-a-sketch might be cleared after you’ve finished making a picture with it. What’s your budget look like? Maybe it’s time to take that trip to Japan you’ve been thinking about all these years. Maybe you just need to get away for a week or two, or visit others who are close to you. If you really want to learn and see exceptional growth, you’ve got to get your head right. Do that and the rest will follow.
