Action Thursday - 3 Action Steps to Develop the Power of Concentration

Developing the power of concentration is a powerful tool to helping you resolve whatever situation you're facing. Every problem has a solution waiting to be uncovered. But this solution often times requires the power of concentration to yield the answer to you. 

In this article we'll uncover 3 action steps you can use right now to develop the power of concentration

Action Step #1 - Write out what you need resolved

Think of the goal you're working on and the area in which you're stuck. Try to be as specific as possible. During this process identify the area you're having success in and the area you need resolution. Write these out as two separate areas. It will help bring better clarity on what you need to focus on. 

For example, you may be working on your relationship with your partner and you're having success spending more time together but when coming to communication there may be some breakdown in certain areas. 

So you'd write down 

- success area = spending more time together

- area needs working on = better communication

Or if you're working on a business, one area may prove to be productive while growth seems to be stunted in another. Specifically identify these areas as shown in the example above.

Action Step #2 - Visualize your outcome

Now that you've clearly identified the area you need to work on, clearly define what you'd like the end result to be. You see, you're looking at where you are now and where you need to be so you have a clear target that you're working towards. 

Using the relationship example above, you identified that you and your partner are not open enough in your communication or you yell instead of talk with each other when dealing with more intense situations. What would your desired results be? - To be more open in your communication or communicate in a calmer manner when dealing with more intense situations. Visualize your outcome and write it down. 

Action Step #3 - Get inspired ideas to manifest your desired outcome

Here's where most people get stuck because they don't know how to get from where they are to where they need to be. At this point you'll use 2 tools to get beyond this. 

Tool #1 - Use your observational skills

What causes the break down in communication? What are you doing in your business that's not working? Think about the last time you tried to communicate what happened? What triggered the argument? As you use your observational skills to mentally observe your own behaviour and that of your partner or to observe your business, you'll begin to see patterns that trigger certain reactions and results. 

Tool #2 - Use the Law of Thinking

Now begin to activate the Law of Thinking. You identified the problem, you used your observational skills to determine where you're getting the snags in your relationship, business or whatever goal you're working on, now through the Law of Thinking, brain storm possible solutions to resolve the situation. Write these down. 

Implement your best ideas but keep an open mind and listen within for other inspired ideas that surface from within you. Also give room to allow things to unfold naturally as well. Because when you begin this process it's amazing how things are set in motion and start to work themselves out easily and effortlessly as you move forward toward your desired results. 

How to Develop the Power of Concentration to Become Empowered from Within - Part 3

Yesterday we covered 3 steps to develop the power of concentration. To recap:

1) Focus

2) Pay attention to details

3) Work through the process

When you use the resources inside of yourself to empower your life you'll find that life unfolds its mysteries to you one step at a time. 

Now today, we'll look at 4 more steps. 

1) Use the Law of Thinking

The Law of Thinking states that what you think about begins to expand and attract more of the same thoughts. So as you are going through the thinking process of resolution, instead of the act of worrying over your situation, more of those thoughts are drawn out of the ether into the thought mix you’re engaged in to help you manifest your desire.

2) Use your observational skills

Use your observation skills to examine the results you’ve been having in relation to the direction you desire to go. Then, evaluate if the actions you’ve been taking have been leading you down the path to the results you desire. If they are, continue on that path and see if intensifying your actions will get you closer to your goal more rapidly. If not, look at what you’ve been doing with the intention to change your thoughts and actions to get you more effective results.

3) Strengthen the determination mindset

The power of concentration is fuelled by your determination. A determined mindset will push you forward when the going gets tough or when it seems like nothing you’ve tried seems to be working. A determined mindset will keep you on track in spite of walls and setbacks and in the face of ‘seeming’ impossibility. For you will continue to look for ways to ensure your success. 

4) Develop Persistence

Persistence is the key to opening the door. Persistence rewards us with the gift of our desired results. As you stay the course, you’re building up inner strength and stability. You’re allowing the giant within to surface. Persistence builds endurance and endurance leads to longevity of Spirit. 

How to Develop the Power of Concentration to Become Empowered from Within - Part 2

Yesterday we looked at a simple scientific example of how the power of concentration works. And if we put this example to use towards the desires we want to manifest, it can be quite effective in our lives. 

Today we'll look at 3 steps to help you develop the power of concentration to become empowered from within and manifest your desires.

1) Focus

You must remain focused on your goal regardless of the outward circumstances. Taking your eyes off the prize will surely distract you and take you off track. We may encounter many distractions throughout the day but a focused mind will prioritize what’s important.

2) Pay attention to details

Give all of your attention to what’s in front of you. By paying full attention to what you’re currently doing, you’ll be able to tap into your inner creative resources, see new and simplified ways of doing things and make the necessary adjustments in your strategy when needed.

3) Work through the process

With focus and attention working hand in hand, as you work through the process to resolve your personal issues, you’ll begin to unlock doors of wisdom and insight each step of the way. Because as you come to a roadblock, universal wisdom to direct your path unfolds itself.

Now relate these steps to the goal you're working towards right now or the ones you've given up on and see how you can apply them to help you reach your desired results. 

Tomorrow we'll look at 4 more steps.

How to Develop the Power of Concentration to Become Empowered from Within - Part 1

Often times we fail to fully attract what we desire because of lack of concentrated focus. When you use the power of concentration, you become empowered from within to manifest your desires.

Let’s use this popular scientific experiment as an example. When you take a magnifying glass and a piece of paper allowing the energy of the sun to directly focus its rays through the lens onto the paper, what happens? Due to the concentrated focus of the heat from the sun, the paper begins to burn. The more you continue to focus the sun’s energy, the more the paper burns.

If you were to keep shifting the magnifying glass each time the sun’s energy begins to intensify, what happens? There will not be enough energy/heat from the sun to burn the paper.

Now, let’s relate this to manifesting your desires. If each time you’re just at the brink of getting results and you keep changing the focused energy, you will not get the desired results. For example, if you keep jumping from one task to another, whether it’s in your business, a course or completing a home project, without focused attention to completing the job your productive results will be minimal.

To become empowered from within means that you focus your mind and body to the task at hand so you can pull up on the hidden resources within you. If you keep changing your mind you'll not reach your initial destination. Before long you'll become exhausted and uninterested in pressing forward to toward your goals. 

Think of the goals that you've had in the past, why have you not accomplished them? Did you lose focus? Did you have too many setbacks? What can you do to turn things around for you once again? 

Grab a pen a paper and answer these questions and tomorrow we'll look into 3 steps you can take to develop the power of concentration to become empowered from within and manifest your desires.
