This exercise can boost your willpower and self-confidence.
Willpower
and self-confidence are basically the measure of your abilities. It is also considered
as a belief in your own abilities. It is a belief in yourself to handle the life
in all circumstances.
There
are various methods that can help to increase willpower and self-confidence.
But on top of all you should have courage and the will to do that. Before starting
any project we need proper planning, patience and self-esteem.
According
to experts, focusing of the attention is one of the most effective method to
build willpower and confidence. The method we are going to suggest needs silence
and calmness, a place where no one can disturb you during this exercise.
Go
to the pre-selected area in your house. This area should be surrounded with
calmness and silence. Place a candle on a table. Give a flame to the wick, sit
comfortably and try to focus your attention on the flame.
Look
and concentrate only on the flame. Do not think of anything else except the
flame. Think that you are out of the world and there is nothing else except you
and the flame. Do not move and do not blink your eyes. Try to prolong this
exercise.
It
is not necessary that you should choose and determine a specific time for this
exercise but you must repeat it every day. After a few days practice, it will
become easy for you to focus your attention on other objects.
Also
try to focus your attention on other motionless objects. These objects could be
anything such as a book, a pen, a glass, a watch or whatever there is in front
of you.
When
focusing on an object imagine that this is the only most important object in
the whole universe. There is no one in the world who can stop you concentrating
on it, or can distract you from achieving the sensation of its internal
essence.
Imagine
that this object is the most important all over the world. This object must
become for you the only object in the Universe. Nothing is able to distract you
from contemplating its appearance, and sensation of its internal essence.
