Train your Ability to Concentrate

The act of concentration has three components: directing attention to a subject; secondly, persisting with focusing on the chosen subject and, thirdly, withholding attention from other subjects or distractions. It is the regular action of denying access to things, sensations, noises and thoughts unrelated to the chosen subject of focus that enables us to concentrate for longer durations.

We tend to think that the sole purpose of concentration is to improve learning and performance and thus facilitate our success in life. However, when you view concentration as a way of specifically controlling and reducing negative thoughts, you may find that you can also use concentration as an effective tool for stress management and maintaining your mental and physical health.
Set goals to increase your power of concentration, not just as a means to achieve something else, but specifically to develop your ability to concentrate. Need help getting started?

Understanding Different Personality Types

Have you ever wondered why you work really well with some people and seem to clash with others? Why you can predict how some colleagues will react to situations, while others leave you completely confused? The truth is, it has a lot to do with individual personality type preferences. Everyone has different attitudes, likes and dislikes as well as that make up their personality type, and consequently some personalities work better together than others. Your particular personality type might make it really easy to work with one colleague and leave you pulling teeth with another. Being aware of your own personality style makes you more likely to observe the traits of those around you. This allows you to adapt your style to theirs or provide them with information in a way that will get their attention, which can go a long way in helping you understand yourself, as well as your colleagues!

Surround Yourself with People Who Will Push You to Do Your Best

Your friends and family make up the people that surround you. While we can’t pick our family, we can pick our friends—friends we want to be more like, friends whose power and positivity can help amplify our own. An aspirational friend is someone who influences and enhances my decisions to better my life. Do you have friends like this? If you think about your friend circle now, you probably have some that you lean on, and some that lean on you. Are the feelings mutual or are there some one-sided friendships? It’s important to have balance in your friendships and feel like you’re learning from each other. Look for people that will help keep you on track and want what’s best for you. Aspirational friends should see your potential and lift you up, not make you feel overly competitive.   When choosing friends, their inherent principles, attitude and outlook on life are more important than their financial standing, as people are much more than their bank accounts and in order to liv

Treat Yourself To Motivate Yourself

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Going to the gym or eating healthy food is harder than sitting on the sofa or eating fast food. Doing your studies are harder than playing video games with your friends. In order for you to motivate yourself, use the treatment system. What this means is that once you accomplish doing a task, decide a treat for yourself. For example, if you successfully manage to go to the gym for 4 days a week, treat yourself to a nice lunch at a 5 star restaurant. If you finish your studies, treat yourself to a well-deserve bubble bath. When you decide on treating yourself once you have accomplished a task, you will be more motivated to complete it because your mind will think about the prize that you will get at the end. Creator Academy has a range of courses to support you in building your spirit and strengths – so you can take hold of your life and your future. You deserve to live the best life you can!
