Answer 1

Ask your parents and your school nurse whether ADD medication is for you. I don't know how you would consciously change your mind's behavior.

Answer 2

It is all the mind game. Do you bother about concentration
when you play an interesting game, watching your favourite
movie? No. Why? Because we get happiness out of them.
Same way, you imagine of what the future will be with good academic record, your gaining a prospective employment or
yourself becoming an entrepreneur with these successive
courses. You will have wonderful effect.
When you want to study - keep a permanent place with well
lighted and ventilated, also keep all things required for that
paricular subject. Read once, write or underline notes of important points, read again, recall, evaluate and correct the
deficiency. This way you will get good concentration

Answer 3

Concentrating demands training as any other activity. It is only through training that you will increase your concentrating ability.

When you sit down to study, do it in short period of 35 to 40 minutes, no longer. Put a watch or clock in front of you.
When you mind starts to wander ( say you remember you have to do something important), look at the clock and see have many minutes is left for you to complete the 35 minutes of study and say to yourself: Ok however important the job is, I will do it in 15 minutes. But for now on I have to study.

And do study.

Have clear objectives as to why you want to study and whenever your mind wander, go back to your objectives. This will help you keep you mind on your study

Answer 4

Do a spider diagram of everything thats distracting you and see if there's anything you can do to eliminate stuff, eg speak to someone for advice, get help with a problem, etc. It's usually something specific distracting you, so try to sort it out. It can also mean you're avoiding something, so just take time to assess what's really going on. Also don't worry about it too much, or you'll create a cycle of worrying- everyone has slack times. Try to get more sleep& eat regularlt esp. breakfast

Answer 5

Find out what is distracting you. Then minimize it. Find out what your environment was like when you used to be able to concentrate and get good grades. Has it changed? Have you changed? (no offense but when you grow you go through many physical changes and mental ones as well). Check your food intake as well, do you drink alot of caffiene? Etc, etc. first troubleshoot the obvious environmental and physical changes, then go from there.

Answer 6

Concentration is a matter of practice. Our minds are designed to carry out several tasks at once if needed, as a matter of survival. It’s common for our attention to be split in many directions, and our modern society also demands this of us. But learning to take control of the focus of our attention is a critical skill in developing the self-control needed for magick.

If you are experiencing problems with loud noises while working on meditation exercises then you need to strengthen your intention. The mind hasn’t learned self-discipline yet, so it will allow itself to be distracted. We can learn to allow sounds and other potential distractions to simply happen, and realize it does not always require a response from us. By focusing our will, we can resist the temptation to be distracted.

Compare your reaction to watching a good movie, playing a video game, listening to music, or reading an absorbing book. During such activities, you find you can effortlessly watch or listen and be oblivious to outside influences. However, when faced with something less stimulating, you will find it an effort to concentrate. So the trick is to concentrate on something worthy of concentration. Something that will hold your attention.

If sitting silently with your eyes closed doesn’t hold your attention, try opening your eyes and gazing at an interesting object. Candle gazing is a good approach. Stare into the heart of the flames and let your eyes focus gently. Let your eye wander from the wick to the corona of the flame. Concentrate on every aspect of the flame, and gently allow your thoughts to still. You might also try staring into a crystal, or gaze into your own eyes in a mirror.

Instead of simply focusing on the object, focus within and watch the thoughts arise. Once you are aware of a thought, you can choose to either follow the thought for awhile, or release it and return your attention to your focus. Take an object or an idea and mentally list everything that comes to mind: Memories, related ideas, readings, sounds you associate, or people... continue to build the list for the object, and keep referring to the object whenever you get distracted. This keeps the mind interested, and at the same time it puts it back on track. Symbols such as the pentacle are an excellent object of focus in this regard.

After about fifteen minutes, grab a notebook or computer and write down everything that went through your mind that you remember. This will help you to keep interested and make you more mindful. You will train your mind to act as an observer, allowing yourself room to examine your own thoughts. Once identified, you can learn to screen out negative thoughts, and observe patterns of energy in your life.

You can increase the mind watching time up to several hours if you are dedicated. As a general measure, you should eventually be able to focus on an object of interest for as long as you wish. This frequently takes a matter of years to achieve, however. It's typical for an average beginner of meditation to sustain mindful concentration for less than a minute without a thought interruption. The more you practice, the longer you will be able to sustain concentration. All you need to do is practice, even when it’s boring, and even when it seems like nothing is happening.

Be patient with yourself, and be willing to let go of the million thoughts that constantly race through our brains. The stillness found on the other side is the source of all magick.

Answer 7

You need more sleep (9 hours), and you need to get off of stimulants. You need to improve your diet. Make veggy and fruit smoothies to augment your diet. Cut out sweets and sodas until you get a handle on this thing. Have a fruit a day. Have a green leaf salad every day too along with your balanced meals.

Try blocking out all other thoughts and try simply focusing on what you need to. Visualise.
