Always Distracted? Yoga Trains Your Focus

Always Distracted? Yoga Trains Your Focus

Always Distracted? Yoga Can Tame Your Monkey Mind!

Can't stay focused? Yoga has the answer.

Have you ever:

•
Tried to read a book but couldn't resist scrolling your phone?
•
Drifted off during a meeting, already planning dinner?

This scattered thinking is what yoga philosophy calls 'Monkey Mind' -- a restless mind that jumps from thought to thought, making it almost impossible to concentrate.

The good news? Yoga can help!
Dharana (concentration) from the Yoga Sutras teaches us that focus isn't about forcing your mind. It's about choosing where to place your attention.

3 Ways to Build Your Focus

1. Set an intention: Every morning, ask yourself: "What matters most today?" A small goal gives your mind direction.

2. Practice awareness: When you notice your mind wandering, don't get frustrated. Watch the thought drift by like a cloud, and gently bring your attention back.

3. Reduce distractions: Try turning off your phone notifications for just 10 minutes. Give yourself a quiet space to focus.
