Consider a few simple rules on how to become more attentive.<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Attention to detail is a requirement in many professions, and natural ability is replaced by a sequence of actions. That is, a person is given instructions on what, how and in what sequence to do it, at what stage to check one element, at what – another. Actually, the algorithm of actions helps attention not only in professional matters. The rule learned from childhood: when crossing the street, first look to the left, then to the right, saved more than one life, made many people, under certain circumstances, be much more attentive than usual. Act according to the rule, algorithm<\/strong>– this is the first advice on how to increase mindfulness. Make a list of tasks or processes that you need to complete, for example, at work, and stick to it. The first time you will remind yourself of your algorithm, in the future the process will go automatically.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    However, it is very important not to let everything go “automatically” – very often our inattention is connected with this: the brain gets so used to doing something automatically that it no longer pays attention to what we do, what we see or feel in the given moment (this is what pickpockets use). In order to increase attentiveness, it is important to learn not only to slide your eyes around the environment, but also to concentrate on it, in other words, to transfer involuntary attention to voluntary, to fix in your head what you see or feel.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, it is basically impossible to record everything – the brain will literally have an overload from such a volume of information. Initially, all information entering the brain passes through a rigid filter, and what the brain considers insignificant is discarded. The consequence of this process is that you do not feel the watch or bracelet on your wrist if you wear it for a long time (and this is again used by pickpockets). It is important to intervene in this process and yourself, consciously choose what to concentrate on<\/strong>. This is a skill that needs to be learned, but over time, the process – at least in some part – will get easier and easier and allow you to become more alert and observant.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Another piece of advice is simple and straightforward: proper nutrition and adequate healthy sleep<\/strong>. It is impossible to wait for attentiveness from a tired person suffering from a lack of vitamins or a feeling of hunger. Lack of sleep affects alertness – it is a well-known fact.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    \u00a0Haste and haste are the enemies of mindfulness<\/strong>. If you want to develop attention, do away with haste once and for all. It is better to do everything and plan ahead. Everyone knows that distraction and inattention are most pronounced when a person acts in a hurry. It is also important here that if we are not in a hurry, we will have time to dwell on all the little things, to analyze them. After all, as a rule, inattention manifests itself in them – we miss some important details.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Motivation is very important for training attention<\/strong>. Resilience of attention also depends on motivation. It should be noted here that these motivations are of a different plan. In the second case, it is often about involuntary motivation. But be that as it may – the motivating moment plays a role, the search for motivation gives a chance to improve mindfulness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    You shouldn't do several things at the same time<\/strong>. Some people think that doing everything at once makes them more productive. While history knows other examples, experience has shown that it is generally better for the average person to take turns doing things, really focusing on each one.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Memory training<\/strong> is another important point. You can notice a thing – and forget it in a second. To train your memory, you can resort to a variety of exercises, from playing Memo to observing passers-by.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One exercise is to focus your attention on a dot on a large white sheet of paper for ten minutes. At first glance, this task is quite simple, but it is not so easy to learn how to complete it.<\/p>\n
