11 / 365 Close
Your Eyes
Take
up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on
that idea.
Let
the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and
just
leave
every other idea alone. This is the way to success,
that
is the way great spiritual giants are produced.
Swami Vivekananda
Try
a very difficult exercise today! Keep your eyes closed for a solid 10 minutes!
Stop reading this; set the timer in your mobile for 10 minutes; determine that
you will remain eyes-closed for a solid 10 minutes and close your eyes. You
should not open your eyes until the timer goes off. You will realise how
difficult it is.
Our
mind and attention is mainly distracted by our eyes and our ears. If only we
control these two sensory organs, we can substantially improve our
concentration and focus. Whenever you are travelling by a car (and if you are
not driving!), try this self imposed training. Focus all your attention on some
important issue that you are presently handling. By keeping your eyes closed,
you will be able to focus all your thoughts around the issue on hand. Slowly
you can increase the duration of this exercise.
Try this today!
