We don’t live in bungalows, duplexes or flats. We live in our minds. Yes, that’s our permanent residence. And there are no constraints of square-feet there. It’s a vast space with unlimited area. And you know what! No matter how well-organized your rooms, balconies, garages and verandas are, life is good only when things are sorted there – in your mind. And that’s where we keep things messy – regrets piling up in one corner, expectations stuffed in a closet, secrets under the carpet, worries littered everywhere, comparisons spilt on the table, complexes leaking from an old bottle, and grudges stinking in a box.
You can practice mindfulness through meditation or just by focusing on staying present throughout your day. Start by:
· Using your senses to tune into experiences in your daily life.
· Engage your self in Yoga practices.
· Focusing on your breathing to ground yourself when feeling overwhelmed.
· Keeping your mind open to help maintain concentration.
Stressful thoughts can cause mental clutter, which might make it hard for you to get to the root of an issue. Try putting your thoughts down in writing so you can more easily explore them. Research shows that journaling can help decrease intrusive thoughts and, as a result, memory and other cognitive functions can continue more smoothly. Reading your thoughts back to you might help you recognize problems and patterns more easily.
Listening to music has a lot of benefits. It’s been shown to improve mood, but it can also have big cognitive benefits as well. Music can help improve memory and concentration, motivate learning and promote your brain’s ability to adapt.
Sleep is essential to your body and to your mind. Bad sleep can mess with your ability to solve problems or make decisions. It might also affect your memory and ability to control your emotions. Optimal daytime performance requires 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Clear your head by changing up your environment. A 2014 study suggests that a good walk can help improve creativity. Regular daily walks can also help clear your mind if the same negative thoughts keep circling around in your brain.
Your physical environment has a big impact on your mental one. If your desk and your brain are both massively cluttered, you might find it hard to concentrate. You might even find yourself procrastinating in order to distract yourself from your lack of focus. Tidy up your physical space to help refresh your thinking process.
Just like physical activity, mental concentration needs a break every once in a while. If you’re struggling to concentrate and writing, music or cleaning isn’t the answer, then take a break. Let yourself stop focusing for a bit so your brain can rest. You can do this by taking a walk or simply daydreaming, doodling or resting your eyes briefly.
Your brain doesn’t have a restart button, but talking can help work out some of the bugs. Discussing your problems or bad feelings out loud can help relieve tension they’ve generated. Friends and family are a great first line of defense, but a professional can offer a little extra support.

1. Focus on sensations. Use your five senses to fully tune in to the experiences of daily life, however mundane they might seem.
2. Focus on your breath. If you start to feel overwhelmed, intentionally slowing your breathing can help you ground yourself and return to the present.
3. Stay curious.
Be aware. For this ‘real home’ of yours, you can’t outsource housekeeping. You got to do it yourself.
Try to enlighten the core knowledge with everyone. The vision is right information in right time time to all categories of people.
