Some ‘helping tools’
In this journey we’ll take to our ‘kit in mind’ the tools which are necessary – simply, they’ll become our ‘must have’ since NOW!
- The usual problem of many – not of all of us, Glory to God – lack of attention or focus – and here’s a simple solution for it –
Pa-dam – and you have it – the beautiful habit - to draw a mandala every morning! IF IT WAS USEFUL FOR Carl Jung – it won’t do you any harm, believe me! Well, if you are not in mood to tame a new habit – like to draw… these pencils… and sheets… of paper... it’s so childish… – just have a look at the beautiful prints – they say the East monks began the tradition to draw them on sand. You may paint them – anyway, a good distraction and even HELP IN STRESS SITUATIONS! Can you imagine – it helps in the test preparations, stress situations and so on… and just to become more focused on the task – of, let us say, English language learning:
Having a focus, we can perform at our best in every activity we want to do. And we’ll be able to do it properly – that is not being like under pressure, but in the most natural way.
- Meditation. 5 minutes of silence for your good – and REALLY GOOD!
So, just find a quiet and remote place where nothing will disturb you – NOW breathe in for 1-2 counting – then stop your breath to 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 counting – and breath out for 1-2-3-4 counting – Do It several times until you and your mind are relaxed just enough to begin…
You may imagine a vast calm lake surrounded by the forest trees, the sun is rising, the morning is peacefully nice, no thought is coming to your mind… and if it comes – just put it beside – till then…
Or... just watch: Meditation for better learning - learn the language twice faster!
Or… you may take a watch counting the seconds – let it count them 2 minutes – think nothing – just contemplate its face…
Or… you may burn the candle and be watching its flame for 3-5 minutes…
Whatever you like. Choose!
Or… just a glass of cool water – and we’ll begin?!
Hm-m-m…
PS. Have you seen there, in the right top corner, a link ‘Presentation’?
Take not more than 3 first pages of presentation. Choose key-words, examine each with help of Wikipedia. Let it be 10-15 items – present us your opinion in your own words. OK?
Well done, WE ARE THE BEST!
