Need to Concentrate?

How is it that focusing has become such an issue in our society?

It seems that all the stimulation we receive from mass media, our physical/mental health, and obligations has diminished our ability to focus. When we see this it is important to work on bringing our doshas back into balance and cleansing our physical and metal bodies.

Here are five ways to help improve focus and boost brain performance:

1. Mindfulness and Meditation: Practicing mindfulness or meditation can train your brain to stay focused and reduce distractions. Even a few minutes a day of deep breathing or meditation can improve concentration over time.

2. Physical Exercise: Regular exercise increases blood flow to the brain, which helps with mental clarity, focus, and overall cognitive function. Activities like yoga, brisk walking, or aerobic exercises are especially beneficial.

3. Healthy Diet: Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like flaxseeds, and walnuts), antioxidants (berries, dark leafy greens), and healthy fats (avocados) can improve brain health and concentration. Staying hydrated is also important for optimal brain function.

4. Break Tasks into Chunks: Breaking larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps helps prevent overwhelm and improves focus. Working in short, focused bursts with timed breaks (like the Pomodoro Technique) can enhance productivity.

5. Limit Multitasking: Focusing on one task at a time, rather than multitasking, helps the brain perform more efficiently. Reducing distractions like phone notifications or background noise can help maintain better focus on the task at hand.

However if your needing some extra support you should consider trying our Concentration #20 - Shankhpushpi Rasayana  

Two of our regular customers are contentiously raving about our Concentration #20 - Shankapushpi Rasayana. The husband came into the store one day raving about the latest book he just finished, because until recently he hasn’t been able to sit and read a book for years. All thanks to this product!

He said, “Taking the Concentration  in the morning has been helping me transition between sleeping and awaking up. It has not only helped with my focus, but has given me a sense of inner peace with wonderful clarity."
