LIFE IS AN ENDLESS GAME

LIFE IS AN ENDLESS GAME

© Prisca Onyinye Nwokorie

Introduction:

In a world that suffers from attention deficits, learning to stay focused on your tasks will certainly make a difference between success and failure for you. How well you pay attention will determine your success. You must never lose your concentration. Even if your family, friends, colleagues or yourself are holding you back from achieving your desired goal, you must be wise and prudent in every decision you make. Life is an endless game that you must win. It is not the conversation of those around you that is the most powerful distractor, but the conversation you host in your own mind.
In your pursuit of success, direct your energy to the things that will bring you success and bring you closer to realising your dreams.

The world is full of distractions:

Our digital world is full of innovations that have transformed humanity. Over the years, the winds of change blow and alter the way we think, reason, act and perform our daily duties. Centuries ago, people travelled from one place to another to send messages, conduct business, or for other reasons, but technology has saved us that stress and forces us to keep up with innovation trends from the comfort of our own homes.
The secret to success is to be active in order to achieve our desired goals. To stay on track, we need to answer more text messages, take more calls, and win more games - poor attention spans lead to poor results because the less attention we pay to the important things, the more distracted we become. That's why you need to train your attention regularly, otherwise it will deteriorate.

Navigating with attention:

Attention is an underrated asset when it comes to navigating life. A lack of attention leads to distraction, but a life well lived requires the proper use of attention so you can get more satisfaction out of life. Attention connects you to the world and determines the kind of experience you have in every encounter.

The problem with technology:

Researchers have made a connection between frequent use of technological devices and obesity. The user's attention is taken up by many other factors, leading to low mental control and impulsive behaviour. With current technological advancements and widespread use of phones and other devices, attention span is decreasing and human interaction is significantly disrupted. Since emotional and social learning occurs through contact and interaction, people find it difficult to leave their phones and other devices alone for even a short time. The urge to check messages and check notifications even takes away from work or education, reducing efficiency and leading to terrible mistakes.

Keep your attention flow active:

Distractions are inevitable, but a flow of selective attention is necessary to keep you balanced while doing the things you love. A distracting thought can sometimes help you get through difficult moments. Attention is one of the many ways to achieve goals and solve problems. Your ability to control your digressive thoughts will either lead you to failure or success.
It is impossible to control how often your thoughts wander; it is good to let them wander and reap the rewards that create space for insight and creativity.

Stages of concentration:

When you let your mind wander in a safe space, you can determine how creative your thoughts will be. When you daydream or let your thoughts run wild, explore the stages of concentration, namely:

  • Orientation: seeking out and immersing yourself in different types of input
  • Selective attention: concentrating on a specific task
  • Open awareness: free association allows the solution to emerge
  • Panoramic awareness: the practice of controlling the mind by staying in the present and dealing with problems that arise, reducing the mind's wandering so that it occurs only when you want it to.

Your mind may have many ideas and possible solutions in mind at any given time, but it is unlikely to happen if you are too focused or distracted to notice insights. Although it takes a lot of effort to focus on a task, it is possible with practice. You need to pause, unplug, and relax your mind as you consciously shift from effortful to effortless attention.

The power of concentration:

Concentration is the key to willpower and is responsible for the decisions you make. Often your willpower is the reason you choose certain activities and refrain from others. Most of the time you are afraid that things will not turn out well, but your ability to notice and overcome that fear by refocusing on the goal depends on how self-aware you are.

Connect your digital distractions:

As seen in almost every field, phones and other electronic devices have replaced human interaction. You can find almost everything you need online, which is very beneficial. But in the long run, this makes the brain sluggish because it lacks the connection that face-to-face interaction brings. It's advisable to limit the time you spend with your devices and gradually wean yourself off using behavioral techniques; if you use technology, take regular breaks to exercise, meditate, or otherwise recharge; and avoid screen activities before bed to ensure you get proper rest.
Developed countries have implemented social-emotional learning programs in their schools to teach students how to be present in conversations and real-world situations while improving their self-control and health. Be gentle with technology and use digital tools more intelligently to manage information overload.

Conclusion:

Be the one who pays attention to the little things and doesn't slack off until you figure out what to do about a problem. Only by staying focused can you succeed.
Be emotionally resilient. Emotional resilience helps you think clearly and make logical decisions that can pave the way to greater success. Many things will upset you, but you need to pick yourself up quickly and focus on what's important.
Let your mind wander occasionally to avoid mental fatigue. If you suffer from cognitive fatigue, your effectiveness will decrease. Go for a walk, drink water, and do something you enjoy to get into a flow state. This diffuse mindset will help you make new discoveries.
Achieving success is not easy, but the journey can be rewarding if you focus on what you love and think beyond the present as a leader, student or parent. Nothing lasts forever. It's up to you to create a picture of who you want to be and work toward that goal.
Mindfulness will help you achieve your dreams and change your life in more ways than you can imagine.
