3 Easy Techniques to Improve Your Concentration

By Nathalie Doremieux


Brain gym exercises help you in unleashing the full potential of your brain power. These are quite similar to all of the memory improvement games that you often take up for improving concentration levels and boosting your memory power. The most important difference that you find is that they have been created to work on all areas of the brain and require a bit of work every single day. As a result, brain gym exercises can successfully improve plenty of the problems and learning limitations like ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia and so on.

Below are some of the simple brain gym exercises that could be done by any of us, regularly, and see successful results:

Hydrate enough: The human body is primarily made of water. Out of all the organs in the human body, brain contains just about 90% of water. So it is essential to keep it hydrated by drinking enough water. Drinking water in nerve-wrangling situations helps your brain function better with good concentration.

Deep breathing exercises: Practicing deep breathing is key to bringing appropriate quantity of oxygen to you brain which increases the efficiency of your brain cells. Observe your breathing when you are in a disturbing situation and you'd be shocked to notice that your breathing is shallow and fast during such times. This type of uneven and weak breathing decreases the oxygen supply and makes it more difficult for the brain to work to its total potential.

Hook Ups : Hook ups are fantastic stress busters that you can use when you're all nerves before an examination or an interview. In fact you may use it before any event that needs you to focus and be stress free.

You can do this either standing or by sitting cross legged. Cross over the left wrist with your right wrist so that all your fingers are linked up. Then slowly bend the elbows out to turn the fingers in such a way that they rest on the central bone of your chest. Stay in the same position and work on your breathing: it should be even and deep.
