It was explained that when we concentrate on our work, we can perform better and bring out the best in ourselves. Concentration plays a key role in achieving success in our studies and in all our pursuits. How to practise concentration - Concentrate on small things that you do as a part of your daily activities, like walking, eating, brushing, bathing, cycling, cooking, etc., etc. This will create a habit to work with concentration on bigger tasks. How to be focused if we get distracted – follow the below

• Pray to get the strength to concentrate if you get diverted by thinking about the past or future.
• Practise breathing in and breathing out by focusing on counting your breath,h which changes the pattern of your breathing.
• If you are not able to do a particular task, take a break and think about how this task that you are working on would help you and what happens if you do not do this task with concentration, this will help to be aware of the task at hand, which in turn will help you to focus on the task you have been working on.
