Introduction:
Life has become very fast and it looks as if there is too much to do and too little time.
So, concentrating on one thing and doing it nicely has become a big problem.
I have tried many things to help me concentrate.
Sometimes, I take a power nap and sometimes I do yoga.
Here I would like to talk about a method which I tried doing to improve my concentration, and it has worked wonders for me.
What it is? and When you do it?
I go out and do some brisk walking in a park opposite my house.
I sweat out my worries and stress and feel very light after that.
I have noticed that whatever I do after that, I can do with full concentration.
You know ma’am, brisk walking is a form of aerobic exercise, which releases endorphins in your body, which make you feel good and you can concentrate better with a happy mind.
How did you learn about it? and How it helps you concentrate?
My cousin is a physiotherapist, and she told me the science behind this exercise.
When I do yoga, even then my concentration improves, but brisk walking helps me shed some pounds from my body.
When I have to study long hours, such as during exams, I go up on my terrace and take a few rounds.
Walking is also good as we are all leading sedentary lifestyles.
It provides the much needed exercise also.
Conclusion:
So, walking is something, which helps me concentrate.
