The Power of Concentration | Theron Q. Dumont
post image

So I got my new Kindle colorsoft yesterday, and I am so excited because my old one was on its last legs. But I am too distressed over current events to be able to concentrate well enough to read. I am very frustrated. Do any of you have this problem if you get anxious, and do you have suggestions for how to calm down and concentrate on your books?

lil1inblue Sometimes, playing instrumental music in the background helps me focus. I also switch up what I'm reading, or I find more lighthearted and funny books. 2mo
Aims42 I do some 4-7-8 breathes (in thru your nose for 4, hold for 7, exhale thru your mouth for 8). I second @lil1inblue suggestion of playing instrumental music, there are some great long play YouTube videos 👍 I‘ve been enjoying this one https://youtu.be/YTDqU4R07Zc 2mo
Bookwormjillk For me it‘s usually finding a spot without distractions and forcing myself to read for 20 minutes without stopping. That‘s usually enough to remind my brain that I really do like reading more than doom scrolling. I‘ve definitely been struggling to focus this year. 2mo

AnnCrystal 🫂 I watch fantasy movies, which somehow inspires me to read 📚💝. 2mo
Amiable Like @Aims42 , deep breathing. And meditation. 2mo
Jari-chan I started reading cozy books or romances, that take away the fears and the stress of reality at least for a short amount of time. Also, avoiding social media 🙁 2mo
dabbe I listen to soothing rain or ocean sounds. You can find 10+ hour ones on youtube or any music app you're using. I also love the website https://asoftmurmur.com/, where you can create your own ambient mix. Then, if I'm really in a rut, reading my PEANUTS/MUTTS comics or any comics helps me unwind while still reading. https://www.gocomics.com/ is also a great comics website. 🩵💙🩵 2mo
Eggbeater @lil1inblue @Aims42 @Bookwormjillk @AnnCrystal @Amiable @dabbe Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I really appreciate the support. It means a lot. 💕 2mo
Eggbeater @Aims42 Thanks for the link! I've been enjoying the coffee shop bookstore music. Very comforting. 2mo
Eggbeater @dabbe thanks for the links! Comic books never occurred to me! Rain sounds sound lovely. 2mo
Aims42 @Eggbeater There has been a lot going on, reading these comments have given me ideas too!! 😊☺️ 2mo

A good introduction to lateral thinking although few times we may have used it even without thinking specifically about it

I am a wild over-thinker which truly gets in the way of my daily life. Maybe that‘s why I found this book so helpful. I listened to it and found myself agreeing with almost everything the author explained. I do believe I will live a better & happier life if I apply his advice. I specially love the fact that he has a whole section with explicit practice exercises.

I had high hopes but this was lame, nothing new here and the kind of gobbledygook that makes people dislike self help books. Next!

KathyWheeler Too bad — the title made it sound promising. 13mo
