How to practice concentration – Concentrate on small things that you do as a part of your daily activities, like walking, eating, brushing, bathing, cycling, and playing. Pray to get the strength to concentrate if you get diverted by thinking about the past or future. If you are not able to concentrate, then breathe in and breathe out by counting your breath.
