In this series on mastering your attention, you must realize the fact that attention is not just the ability to focus on a single task without being distracted, but in fact is comprised of several different elements that must be effectively managed. But this doesn?t mean that single-minded focus is not of paramount importance. Research has shown that individuals who can sustain their attention for long periods of time perform better on all sorts of cognitive challenges than those who cannot. 1. 10 Minutes of Meditation Meditation will give you the fastest results of all of the willpower workouts listed. By meditating you are training the brain to focus and resist the urge to wander. Research shows that after just 2-3 days of practicing meditation for 10 minutes, your brain will be able to focus better, you will have more energy, and you will be less stressed. 2. Work on Your Posture To get started, simply correct your posture every time you catch yourself slouching at work or at home. It sounds extremely simple, but it takes willpower to sit up straight. Every time you do, you?re essentially doing ?one rep? with your willpower muscle. 3. Keep a Food Diary To get started, I recommend downloading the MyFitnessPal App. It?s a simple food diary app that has a huge database of foods and nutrition information. Just keep the diary for 2 weeks, and it will increase your ability to resist temptations! 4. Use Your Opposite Hand Using the same methodology as with posture, researchers conducted further studies that tested other corrective actions. One that worked particularly well was to use your opposite hand. Your brain is wired to use your dominant hand, so it takes willpower to use the opposite. To get started, select a chunk of the day to use your opposite hand. It doesn?t need to be any more than an hour in order to get results. And from personal experience, if you aim for more than an hour, you will unnecessarily tire out your willpower muscle. 5. Correct Your Speech This includes resisting the urge to use swear words, or to say ?hello? instead of ?hey?. Again, it takes willpower to consciously go against your instincts. It doesn?t matter how you correct your speech, as long as you change your natural speech habits. To get started, select a chunk of the day to practice and choose the words you will change. Like all exercises listed above, doing this for just 2 weeks can vastly improve your willpower! 6. Create and Meet Self-imposed Deadlines Anyone who remembers their college days, remembers what it was like cramming for a test or doing a last minute paper. Your willpower gets taxed as you try to tune out distractions and become hyper-productive. To get started, simply pick a task on your to-do list that you may have been putting off. Set a deadline for accomplishing it, and make sure you adhere to it. 7. Keep Track of Your Spending In the same way most of us don?t track the food that we eat, many of us don?t track our spending either. To get stated, try using a budgeting app like Mint. Mint can connect to your bank account, credit cards, etc. And automatically track your purchases. By simply reviewing this on a regular basis, you will see increases in your focus and ability to resist unrelated temptations like sweets. 8. Squeeze a Handgrip For the truly determined who want to increase their perseverance, you can squeeze a handgrip until exhaustion. If you?ve ever squeezed one before, you know that it gives you a deep forearm burn. So it takes willpower to keep squeezing. To get started, simply get a handgrip like this one, and squeeze it with each hand until you?re exhausted. Willing yourself to continue squeezing even when it hurts will increase your perseverance on other challenging tasks. 9. Carry Around Something Tempting Again, for the truly determined out there, you can increase your ability to say "no" by carrying around something tempting with you all day. To get started, first learn how to resist a craving. This will be hard, so your will want to know how to deal with the craving. Then carry something small but tempting with you. It doesn?t need to be for an entire day, but for long enough that you will be truly tempted. By consistently saying "no" you will increase your ability to resist other temptations and ignore distractions! 10. Be More Mindful of Your Automatic Decisions A final exercise is to simply be more mindful of your decisions throughout the day. We are often so lost in thought, that our actions become automatic. Taking time to think about why you are making your daily decisions will increase your ability to focus and resist temptations. To get started, try to catch yourself in an automatic behavior and ask yourself why you are doing it. This may be questioning why you are eating cereal instead of eggs for breakfast, or it may be questioning why exactly you put 2 sugars in your coffee. Any way you can think consciously about a typical automatic behavior will increase your focus and self-control. Like all muscles in the body, willpower can be strengthened with the right practice. Above you will find 10 practical and effective ways to strengthen your self-control, focus and perseverance. Do not try to do all 10 at once. Think about training your willpower muscle like training for a marathon. Your first training run wouldn?t be the full 26 miles or even close to that. You would start small and gradually build up as your muscles got stronger. So choose just 1 of these workouts to add to your daily routine. Determine which workout seems practical and effective for the goal you want to achieve and get to work. By simply following the steps laid out, you will be well on your way to becoming more mentally strong!
