Utilize the Powers of Concentration

Just as the shadow follows the body, the body follows the mind. If the mind is racing in a hundred directions due to pressure, the body is also racing, even though the individual may be sitting in a chair. Have you noticed that when people talk fast and hop from one thought to another, they become more restless and fidgety and their breathing becomes faster and shallower?
The fact that the body follows the mind goes in this way is not commonly recognized. Breathing changes our physiology. For example, if you concentrate in a relaxed manner on a pleasing subject or even a neutral subject or object, your body will start calming down and you are likely to feel relaxed.
The act of concentration has three components: directing attention to a subject; secondly, persisting with the chosen subject and, thirdly, withholding attention from other subjects. It is the action of denying access to things, sensations, noises and thoughts unrelated to the chosen 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 use concentration as an effective tool for stress management and mind-body health.
Use concentration to reduce irrelevant and negative thoughts. Set a goal to increase your power of concentration, not just as a means to achieve something else, but specifically to develop your ability to concentrate all the time. Concentrate on the task at hand and when you thoughts wander, instead getting upset or disappointed with yourself, just bring your mind back to the task at hand. By utilizing the powers of concentration you can concentrate your powers.
