How can i concentrate on studies without any tension?

Q. How can i concentrate on studies without any tension?

A. Different things work for different personalities. If you have your own life and your own concerns too much on your mind, whatever you are studying won't stay in your long-term memory, no matter how long you study, unfortunately.

You can slow the noise and tension in your own brain, and be able to ignore what is going on around you a couple of ways.

This sounds simplistic, but it really does work; take it from someone who has had the same problem.

When you sit down to study, don't attempt to concentrate at first. Sit in a comfy position, and literally, just breathe for a moment. First breathe in quite deeply, then breathe out. Count how many seconds it takes for both in, and out.

After a short time, both get a little longer. Something is happening to you physically, not just mentally. Your brain stops producing the chemicals that make you tense, and starts to produce ones that make you feel more peaceful and relaxed. Even the electrical activity in your brain slows down, and becomes more receptive to new info.

You will find that your mind is a bit clearer, and the more often you do it, the easier it gets. I suggest 10 to start. And.you can do it in public without it showing ~ an added bonus!

Good luck!
