Advice to Improve Your Concentration

 How to improve your mental performance?

If no physical or mental illness is causing your concentration problems, then you are on your own to regain control of your mind. This is the only way to improve your performance. It is therefore important to change your environment and lifestyle to be able to enjoy good concentration skills again. Applying these tips can be useful:


Tips for better concentration


1. Define your priorities

What is important must be done first. Make a list of all your tasks and check them off. This way, you will not forget anything and at the end of the day, you will have a complete overview of everything you have accomplished.


2. Use your time wisely

Schedule important tasks at quiet times, in order to stay focused. In addition, it is advisable to focus on one task at a time.






3. Work in a quiet environment

Notify those around you that you have to work. Even a simple “Do not disturb” will help you stay focused. Disturbed by notifications on your phone? Turn it off and only check your emails at specific times.

4. Adopt a relaxed posture

Roll your shoulders to release tension. Sit with your back straight to boost your confidence. Close your eyes for a few seconds to restore your concentration level.


5. Take short breaks regularly (after an hour maximum)

Take a deep breath, open the window and take a short walk around the neighborhood. Each break will allow you to recharge your batteries and keep your concentration at its peak.


Concentration exercises

Plan a few concentration exercises to calm your mind if you find yourself wandering:

  • Breathing: Inhale through your nose, hold your breath for two seconds and then exhale through your mouth. Repeat the exercise several times.
  • Stretching: Stand up and stretch. Roll your shoulders.
  • Do something else: Pick up a text and find all the "T"s, play a game of spot the differences, etc.
  • Chew gum: This can increase your concentration for about a quarter of an hour


Follow a specific rhythm

A fixed daily rhythm can help you improve your concentration:


  • Focus on a certain regularity: Go to bed and get up at a fixed time. This can be later on the weekend, but make sure you get back into your cruising speed by Sunday evening.
  • Watch your diet: Plan your meals and make sure you consume enough minerals, vitamins and nutrients. The brain needs energy, which you don't get from chocolate bars and fast food.
  • Eat calmly and regularly: Eating with colleagues or family can contribute to well-being, which also calms the mind.
  • Get enough exercise: Whether you’re gardening or cycling, your body needs its daily dose of physical activity, fresh air and energy.
  • Connect with your family: Set aside time for your children, partner and/or friends to spend time together and relax.


Get away from the digital world

  • Ditch your phone: Put it away if you’re not expecting an urgent message. Some apps can help reduce screen time, for example. You can also set set times to use your phone.
  • Everyone is equal before the law: Limit the use of tablets, computers or mobile phones. Set rules together, such as not using your mobile phone during meals, which also apply to adults.
  • Start reading: Sit comfortably and read a book or the newspaper: mindful attention without distraction.
  • Remove your mobile phone from the bedside table: Put away all digital devices at least an hour before bedtime to allow your body and brain to prepare for going to sleep peacefully.



Relax... properly

Feeling less stress, taking breaks and better organizing your daily life: three factors that will allow your brain to calm down and regain optimal concentration.

  • Breathe: Focusing on your breathing by inhaling and exhaling calmly – preferably while counting – relaxes the body, and the brain at the same time.
  • Move: Whether it's yoga or meditation, there are a range of relaxation techniques that reduce stress and thus improve mental performance.
  • Focus your attention: When your thoughts wander, consciously direct them towards something neutral, by playing at counting yellow cars for example.
  • Take a break: Schedule a time in your day when youu do nothing, except drink a quiet infusion. Enjoy in all tranquility.
  • Enjoy life: Once a day, try to fully enjoy nature, consciously and with all your senses.

Diatomaceous Earth - DE - Friend or Foe?

 There's a very popular topic around here should you need a subject of conversation - that's worms, yes, of the intestinal kind (not the intellectual kind. I used to be a book worm, I guess I still am in a way).  Worms? Because they infect so many people so fast, it's important to find an alternative to the current medical solution which is basically poison to the body. For months I prayed to find one so we could get rid of these parasites, visiting my children's rectum every night (sorry for the visual).  I tried a soup recipe with all the types of food supposed to get rid of worms. Even homeopathy doesn't kill the parasites. Vermox, the medical option, works sometimes and sometimes not, but who knows what damage it does while it travels the body.  One day, I come across this post on hpathy.com, one of my favorite homeopathy reference website: "Stumbled upon this post, but I want to let anyone know who feels hopeless about parasites, especially worms. Food Gr...

Strong Cases: Homeopathy for Concentration Issues

 In my own practice, I saw so much beautiful improvements in my patients' children but I would like to share with you here some real cases from real homeopaths from around the world, especially successful with concentration issues.  A Case of Lack of Concentration Dr. Pooriya Jeste Subhedar presents a case of behavior problems in a seven year old boy. A 7 year old boy came with his mother to my clinic. His mother is a nurse and the father is handicapped but working. His mother complained that the boy is too restless. He doesn’t sit at one place, doesn’t want to study and performs poorly in examinations. She said he doesn’t obey and is very irritable, talking back to everyone. He beats on his mother and throws things away when angry. There are complaints from his teachers that he doesn’t pay attention in class and lacks concentration. He also fights with other students. His books are incomplete and all crumpled. He doesn’t take notes in class. He makes spelling mistakes, e.g wr...

A Homeopath in Modiin Illit?

Welcome to my blog. As one of the only (or the only?) homeopath in Modiin Illit, the blog is the only window to my practice people can have with a computer. I don't have a website and I don't have Facebook, Instragram nor even LinkedIn as a way to advertise. I think that my testimonials are the real and only publicity I'll ever need: people like you who needed help for their health and homeopathy, with me as a shaliach, was able to get them better, in a fast and safe way.  This is what I think since I started with Yael Meir Homeopathy as a full-time practice: Homeopathy is a Gd-given gift to humanity to address all health issues in a safe way, and get a gentle cure for ailments both physical or/and mental. People turn their lives over because they're finally rid of the pain and suffering which stops them from serving Gd properly.  Training I learned homeopathy at the Alternative Medicine College of Canada, which my father heads. There I specialized in both naturopathy ...
