Under normal circumstances, attention makes our psychological activities toward something, selectively accepting certain information, while inhibiting other activities and other information, and concentrating all psychological energy on what we point to. Therefore, good attention will improve the efficiency of our work and study. Attention deficit disorder is mainly manifested in the inability to direct psychological activities to a specific thing, or to concentrate all one's energy on this thing, while inhibiting attention to irrelevant things. The reasons for this situation are very complicated, and many serious psychological disorders can cause attention disorder. For students, it is mainly due to the heavy learning burden and excessive psychological pressure, which leads to high tension and anxiety, which leads to the obstacle of inability to concentrate. In addition, lack of sleep, the brain can not get enough rest, attention may also be distracted.
Therefore, when you feel upset because you can't concentrate, you might as well adopt the following methods to correct it:
(1), develop good sleep habits.
Because of the heavy burden of study, some students covet the darkness at night, and some even study late into the night with flashlights in the dormitory; Some students can't go to bed on time, chat with their classmates in the dormitory and so on. As a result, I can't get up on time in the morning. Even if I barely get up, I feel very heavy and can't get up for a day. Some people even fell asleep at their desks in class. As a student, the main learning task should be completed during the day. If you are listless during the day, your efficiency will be very low. Therefore, if you are a "night owl" type, I advise you to learn from the "lark", go to bed and get up on time, cheer up and improve your study efficiency during the day.
(2) learn to decompress yourself.
The learning task of senior high school students is very heavy, and the expectations of teachers and parents add another password to students' psychology; Some students attach great importance to their grades, exams, etc. This is tantamount to putting pressure on yourself. I am bound to be overwhelmed, exhausted, nervous and irritable, and I rarely have a moment of peace psychologically. So learn to decompress yourself and don't take your grades too seriously. No pains, no gains. As long as you work hard and pay, there will be good returns. Why let worry occupy our hearts and trouble ourselves?
(3) Do some relaxation training.
Sit comfortably in a chair or lie in bed, and then send rest information to all parts of the body. Start with the left foot, let the muscles of the foot tighten, and then relax, suggesting that it is resting. Then command the ankles, calves, knees and thighs to rest to the trunk, then relax from the feet to the trunk, and then from the left and right hands to the trunk. At this point, relax from the trunk to the neck, then to the head and face. This technique of relaxation training needs repeated practice to master, and once you master this technique, you will reach a relaxed and calm state in just a few minutes.
(4) Do some concentration training.
Yang Le and Zhang Guanghou, young mathematicians in China, worked quickly when they were young, and strictly trained themselves to concentrate. Here is a little game used to exercise attention in psychology. In a table with 25 squares, put the numbers 1-25 out of order, fill them in, and then count from 1 to 25 as quickly as possible, pointing out while reading and counting at the same time.
Research shows that it takes 7-8 year-old children 30-50 seconds to find the numbers on each chart in turn, with an average of 40-42 seconds; The time for normal adults to read a chart is about 25-30 seconds, and some people can shorten it to more than ten seconds. You can make more such training forms yourself and train once a day. I believe your attention level will gradually improve. "Cultivate good attention quality and improve students' academic performance"
The second stage:
As a special quality and ability, concentration needs to be acquired through training. So, what are the methods to train attention and improve concentration?
One way: use the power of positive goals.
What is the significance of this method? It is when you set yourself a goal and consciously improve your attention and concentration, you will find that your concentration develops and changes rapidly in a short time.
Students should complete this progress in training. To have a goal is that from now on, I can concentrate more than before. No matter what you do, once you enter, you will soon be undisturbed. This is very important. For example, if you have this requirement for yourself today, I will basically recite all the contents of this lecture at one time, which is highly concentrated. When you have such a training goal, your attention will be highly focused and interference will be eliminated.
Students all know that spreading troops aimlessly and being surrounded by the enemy is a defeated army. This is the same as our study, work, and career. We distract our energy aimlessly, and we will always be a failed figure. Learning to concentrate one's strength and attention at any time when needed is a genius quality of a successful person. The first way to cultivate this quality is to have such a goal.
Method 2: Cultivate interest in the quality of concentration.
With this interest, you will set up many training subjects, training methods and training means for yourself. In a short time, even through a summer of self-training, you will find that you have the same admirable concentration as the great scientists, thinkers, writers, politicians and militarists praised in the book.
Students can relax during rest and play. Once they start doing something, how to concentrate quickly is a gift. Just like a strategist who quickly concentrates his forces and annihilates the enemy, this is military genius. We know that militarily, we need all kinds of concrete means to concentrate our forces without being detected by the enemy, to overcome all kinds of difficulties in space, geography and time, to overcome the fatigue of the army and to mobilize all kinds of factors. Students should concentrate their energy and attention and master various means. These are all worth discussing, and they are all very interesting things.
Method 3: Have confidence in the quality of concentration.
Never accept bad hints from yourself and others. Some parents have said this to their children since childhood: My child is not focused. On many occasions, I heard parents say: My children are not paying attention in class. Some students may think so themselves. Don't think so, because this state can be changed.
If you are good at paying attention now, then I am sure that those talented scientists, thinkers, entrepreneurs and artists still have something to learn in this respect. If you are still behind them, you should try to surpass them.
For the vast majority of students, as long as you have this self-confidence, I believe you can improve your concentration quickly, and master such a method of concentration, you can have this quality. We are all normal and healthy people. As long as you make up your mind not to be disturbed and eliminate interference, you will be able to achieve a high degree of concentration. I hope the students can exercise themselves. After such training, you can make a leap.
Method 4: Be good at excluding external interference.
Eliminating interference requires training the ability to eliminate interference. When Mao Zedong was young, in order to train his concentration, he once set himself such a training subject, and went to the city gate cave and places where people came and went to study. For what? Just to train your anti-interference ability. Students must know that some excellent military strategists can still judge the choice and direction of strategy and tactics very quietly and intensively in the command center. The danger of life and death hangs over your head, but you must be able to eliminate the interference of this threat to judge how to deploy the military. This ability to resist environmental interference needs training.
I did this training on purpose when I was your age. No matter how noisy the environment is, when I enter the subject I want to read and study, I turn a deaf ear to all the factors around me. This can be trained successfully.
Method 5: Be good at eliminating inner interference.
What is to be excluded here is not the interference of the environment, but the interference of the heart. The environment may be quiet. In class, all the students around you sit well. However, there may be a commotion in your heart, a disturbance to your emotional activities, and an excitement unrelated to this study. For all kinds of emotional activities, we should be good at letting go and excluding them. At this time, students should learn to sit up straight, relax their bodies and relax their whole facial expressions, that is, with the relaxation of their bodies, they should put aside the interference of various emotions in their hearts. Often the inner interference is more serious than the environmental interference.
Students can consider it. Why do some students always listen attentively in class? Why can't some students concentrate? In addition to learning goals, interests and self-confidence, there is also a kind of ability to exclude inner interference. Sometimes it's not the classmates around you who are harassing you, but all kinds of fleeting things in your heart. To get rid of them, this ability needs training. If you just want to be muddled, careless and vulgar all your life, even at the age of 30, you have to rely on your parents to support you, or you just want to muddle along all your life, then you don't need to train this. However, if you really want to be a modern person who is satisfied with yourself, you must have the quality and ability to concentrate at the last moment, and be good at excluding not only environmental interference but also your own inner interference in various environments.
Method 6: Handle the relationship between study and rest with a clear rhythm.
Students should never study like this: I just reviewed my lessons this day, and then it seems that I have been reviewing my lessons since morning. Books are always at hand, but the efficiency is very low. Meanwhile, I'll do this and that for a while. Twelve hours passed like this. I didn't have a good rest, didn't play well, and didn't get any results in my study. Or, you go to the park early in the morning to learn a foreign language, sit for an hour or two and walk a long way. You said you saw it, but you don't remember much. This is called learning to support, and the rhythm of work and rest is not clear. The correct attitude is clear. That is, I will concentrate on one hour from now on, such as memorizing 80 English words, and see if I can recite them. Listen carefully and try to write down these words. After studying, have a rest. When you need to study again, you can concentrate highly. It's called relaxation. We must cultivate this ability. Don't put up with time, don't torture yourself. Be good at concentrating in a short time and studying efficiently. Train yourself like this: when you are quiet, be like a tree; When acting, such as lightning and thunder; At rest, water is as loose as water; When studying, concentrate superior forces like a military attack. This kind of training can make you concentrate more and more.
Method 7: Quiet space.
This method is very simple. When you review your lessons or study at home, you should clean up all other books and articles that have nothing to do with study on your desk at this time. In your field of vision, there are only the subjects you want to study now. This kind of spatial processing is a necessary means for you to train yourself to concentrate in the initial stage. Students often find such a vivid scene. You sit at a desk and want to learn math. Here is a newspaper, which was put under the book. There is some news on it. I couldn't stop reading, and it took me a long time to know that I was here to learn math. A newspaper can take you away. Or you were supposed to study, and the small TV in the corner of the table was still on, watching, and you came out of the kingdom of mathematics in Jacky Cheung. This is entirely possible. It may even be a small note with something written on it, which reminds me of another thing when I look at it.
Therefore, as the initial stage of training your attention, before you do something, you must clean up all the irrelevant things on your desk. Then, let yourself get into the topic quickly. If you can do nothing in one minute, then you are great. If you can get to the point in half a minute, it will be even more remarkable. If you sit there for ten seconds, five seconds, and then enter now, that's genius, and that's efficiency. Some people say that they spent four hours reviewing their lessons. In fact, most of those four hours were spent in idleness and inefficiency, which was useless. On the contrary, when you start studying, you sit there and forget all the irrelevant contents. This is high efficiency.
Method 8: Clean up the brain.
Tidying up the desk is to concentrate with the cleanliness in the field of vision, which can also clean up the brain. You often tidy up your desk, and slowly you will have an image analogy, and you will feel that your brain is like a desk.
The brain is a screen with a lot of things piled up inside. As soon as you come up, take away all kinds of irrelevant emotions, ideas and information floating in your mind at the moment, and leave the subjects you want to do in your mind, just like cleaning your desk.
Students, I hope you will do this kind of training from today. It's not difficult. When you get rid of all distractions in your mind, in an instant, you will enter a specific theme, your brain will be fully mobilized, and you will have talent, invention, creation, observation, memory, logical reasoning and imagination. If not, if you sit there, there will still be a lot of traffic in your head within ten minutes, or it has nothing to do with it, or it is far away, then these ten minutes will be wasted. Ten minutes passed, and it was no longer bustling, but it was still a bustling street, and another ten minutes passed. Finally, when you start learning, you will inevitably be half-hearted and inefficient. We can't have this state again. We should be good at getting into the subject of our focus quickly.
Method 9: Training all the senses.
We talk about cleaning our desks. In fact, in a broader sense, we can do similar training in vision, hearing and feeling. Students can train themselves to visually stare at one target at a time without being distracted by other images. You can train for a period of time, although there are thousands of sounds, but you concentrate on listening to one sound. You can also feel that there is only the sun or the moon or the temperature of the surrounding air in the whole world. This kind of sensory concentration training is a useful technical means of attention training.
Method 10: Don't stay on the difficult point.
Students will realize that it is easier to concentrate when we explore and observe what we understand and are interested in. For example, I like math, and it is easier to concentrate in math class, because I understand and am more interested. On the contrary, because I don't like chemistry very much, I lack interest, and I don't understand enough what the teacher said, so I may be distracted.
In this case, we have positive and negative countermeasures. The positive countermeasure is to concentrate with your own understanding and interest. For those things that we still lack understanding and interest, it is a particularly difficult training when we have to study it and learn it.
First of all, in the process of listening to the teacher's lecture, there is something you don't understand. Don't stay on this link. If you don't understand this, it doesn't matter, then listen to the teacher. When you are studying something, you don't quite understand the problem. It doesn't matter, you continue to study. When you read a book, you don't quite understand this. You don't know much if you try. It doesn't matter. Put it down and read on. Don't be hindered by the difficulties in the first few pages, stop reading the whole book. In fact, when you read on, you will find that you can understand most of the rest. If you don't understand the first few pages, you will gradually understand.
If you are still not interested in these contents, it is necessary for you to study it and learn it, then you should think that interest is gradually cultivated in the process of learning, mastering and practicing.
