Best Body Posture to Increase Concentration Power

Hi friends, yesterday I took an MBA entrance exam. I think most of you have already heard about it. It is called CAT (the Common Admission Test). One of the most difficult and competitive examinations in India. 




What is so difficult about CAT?

There are two things to be considered, 
  1. Time is very limited. There are 100 difficult questions to be solved in 180 minutes
  2. You have to be super concentrated to solve the problems and pass the test
This is like any other type of exams. An exam is always difficult for a person who is facing it.

In any discipline of life, you require concentration. But we are more interested in the concentration on studies.

The right body posture to study with concentration

  • Keep your back straight

In whatever position you are sitting. Be it sitting on a chair or cross legged on the mat. Always keep your back straight while studying.

Why? Because your backbone carries a huge network of neurons. And, your backbone is the basic element of the nervous system. You would not want to play with that. It can create a serious dysfunction in your lower body parts. Since the brain cells can not transmit messages if your backbone is damaged.

Keeping your back straight also helps in air and blood circulation throughout your body. You will be able to breath deeply when you keep you back straight.

  • Sit in the Cross-legged position

I know that very few of you will be able to digest it. I have heard that people in the west can not sit properly in the cross-legged position. This fact was told by late Shri Rajiv Dixit.

But you might have seen in Japanese or Bharatiya movies that in these countries people practice to sit in the cross-legged position.



If you will sit in this position while studying or drinking the water you will be benefited. 

Do you know one of the main causes of hernia disease is to drink water standing? Also, you should avoid drinking the water while sitting on the chair. It is not a full sitting. The example of the full sitting is to sit cross-legged on the mat. And that's how you should drink water.

  • Don't shake your legs unnecessarily

This is the thing that I also need to work on. You should sit still while studying. 

The constant shaking of your legs does not show your seriousness towards studies. It also points out that you are more concentrated in shaking your legs and not on your studies. 

Do you know that your mind can only work in one direction at a time? You might have heard the people saying 'Oh I am multitasking'. That's complete rubbish. You can not do two things together. Try once for yourself. Until then don't shake your legs or pen or tear the paper in your hands while studying.

  • Sipping water while studying is good for the concentration

How? It kind of shows that you are taking in the words while drinking the water.

But don't try this in time constraint examinations. 

  • Practice these yoga just before exams

  1. Anulom-Vilom: you can practice this sitting on your examination desk. Want to know more about how to do Anulom-Vilom.
  2. Dhyan Mudra: simply make a contact between your index finger and your thumb of the same hand. This can also be done just before the examination, sitting on the chair





  • Say the words aloud so that only you can listen to them

While solving a passage, sometimes the questions are like 'which of the following is not the central message of the passage' and we overlook the word 'not', that results in the wrong answer. 

What is the solution to avoid such cases? Simply read aloud the passage and questions. So that you won't overlook a single detail.

  • Sharpen your axe 

The last piece of advice. Eat less before an examination. And probably take a nap before the exam. The latter advice is the conflicted one. 

Some practitioners say that you should take a nap after your lunch while others deny it. I don't know the reason for the denial. Since I feel drowsy after taking lunch, I generally take a quick nap. 

There is good logic behind taking a nap after lunch. It goes like this, during lunch hours there is already a lot of heat in the environment. Due to the heat, blood flows all around the body except digestive system. Therefore, we need to rest to cool down our body, consequently which results in good digestion.

These are the physical measures to increase your concentration power. But on the mental level, you still have to focus. Without which nothing can be done.

Thanks

Sharing is caring...

Jauban dhan Kabir lyrics | सदगुरु

Jauban here means Yauvan or यौवन। This means youth. Dhan means wealth. Kabir says that the youth and wealth are unstable. One should not be bragging about it. आप इस "जौवन धन" गाने को YouTube premium के बगैर background में सुन सकते हैं। जिससे आपका mobile screen time कम होगा।  और साथ में कोई और application भी चला सकते हैं। उसके लिए बस एक बार आपको ऊपर से play करना रहेगा। Hinglish lyrics Jauban dhan  Haad Maans ra banya re pinjara Bheetar bharya re bhangaara Upar rang suchang chadhhaaya Kaarigar hai kiltaara Jauban dhan praamana re doi din chaara Jero garav mat karo re ganvaara Pashu re chaam ra banya re panaiya Naubat banya re nagaara Nar teri chaam kaam nahin aave Bad jal ke hua re angaara Jauban dhan praamana re doi din chaara Jero garav mat karo re ganvaara Das re sheesh jero bees bhujaava Riddhi siddhi bahu parivaara Eva re nar garab maan gal gaya, Lanka re pati sirdaara Ae re sansaar, vhaala, sapne ri maaya Sukrat karo re vyavahaara Kahat Kabir suno bhaai saadho Bhav jal se

The Best Financial Tips Taken From the Wealthy The financial tips in this post will help you not only to become rich, but wealthy. These are the well-researched tips taken from wealthy men. Save and invest in good causes. What is a good cause? The cause that is a boon to you and others, is an example of a good cause. Invest in your dreams. The dreams that would benefit you and your dependents.   Do not buy anything for the sake of showing off. I can recall an example of Monica Geller of Friends TV series. She buys $100 shoes only to show off. After wearing them she realizes that the shoes are very uncomfortable. In the end, she had to confess, "the shoe bite." Do not purchase liabilities with what little you have. I have seen people who often spend money to buy a car and, they would seldom use it.  Maintain in
