Q. I am not able to focus on studies because of my thoughts. What should I do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• I completely understand that you feel concerned and would like to increase concentration in studies due to preoccupation with thoughts.

• Low concentration over studies could be due to various reasons. For instance, negative experiences at schools or classes, concerns regarding school performance, and difficulty maintaining results etc.

• I would like to know what kind of thoughts come to your mind when you struggle with the study?

• In order to deal with your state of mind, you can practice "thought stopping" i.e. loudly saying "stop" which will serve as a signal for your thoughts to stop. If you experience this again, repeat the process until you get back your concentration over studies.

• Secondly, you can find other interests than cartoons and comics, so that your mind gets a variety of materials and does not get stuck or preoccupied with cartoons and comics.

• Moreover, you can practice relaxation exercise and deep breathing before going to study. This is proved to improve concentration and make your mind and body relaxed and peaceful.

I hope this is helpful for you. Do follow up if you feel the need. Best Regards.
