The power of focus is the one thing above all else that will help you achieve your goals. That and perseverance.

The focused light of a laser is created when light waves are in sync with each other. The parallel waves are coherent and in phase. The light waves from a laser are the result of synchronicity and coherence resulting in focus.

If our brain has greater coherency, it is also more receptive to creative and intuitive impressions, and more capable of getting more done in less time.

Now that sounds like a practice worth pursuing!

The Power of Focus

That’s what focus does for your work, it produces greater synchronicity and coherence.

If our brain has greater coherency, it is also more receptive to creative and intuitive impressions, and more capable of getting more done in less time.

Now that sounds like a practice worth pursuing!

The focused mind sets the waves of thought in sync so that light as consciousness can flow coherently from your mind to the developing “life” of your creation.

If you’ve ever shined a flashlight on the wall, you know that there are shadows amidst the light patterns. Often a dark circle around the central light, followed by another, more scattered area of light.

Flashlights do not function coherently. Their waves interfere with each other and cancel each other out. It’s a similar effect to distractions.

To Focus, is to create from a lighted mind.

Multitasking Diffuses Focus

That’s what happens to your mind and your work when you try to multitask and allow distractions to interfere. The light waves—consciousness—is more like the flashlight than a laser. Your attention is diffused, dimmed, and less effective and the waves of consciousness are definitely not in sync.

Not only is the fractured light of mind less capable, it is also takes more energy because of the effort to focus in spite of a multitude of micro interruptions. It also takes more energy to constantly shift between tasks and try to reorient to each one.

Distractions disrupt progress and cancel out the power of focus.

Train Your Brain

Brain training is a lot like training your body at the gym. It will respond to effort applied over time. Each of these activities help to synchronize your brain waves and help increase your focus by decreasing the mental noise and clutter.

Multitasking diminishes mental clarity and produces chaotic brain waves.

Multitasking minimizes mental clarity and amplifies mind noise.
Meditation maximizes mental clarity and minimizes mind noise.

In Sync with Meditation

Just as meditation helps to synchronize brain waves, so do periods of uninterrupted focus. In other words, the more you practice focusing, the more you’re training your brainwaves to align.

Do not underestimate the power of distractions to disrupt progress. Conversely, do not underestimate the power of uninterrupted focus to achieve your best work.

For a popular meditation resource, you may want to check out HeadSpace or Muse, or try some of the many free meditations available on YouTube.

Creating Coherency

Through the practice of meditation, your brain is increasingly habituated to settling into a coherent state. You can purposefully cultivate that flow in whatever endeavor you’d like.

Focus takes practice but it gets easier over time. More than that, you will come to seek it out. Focus is a positive addiction that requires no outside stimuli. When you arrive at that place you will know.

It’s called “The Zone”, or, as one of our favorite authors, Sir Ken Robinson dubbed it: “The Element”.

Your Brain on Waves

Brainwaves and attention impact everything we think and do, including our relationships with others and with ourselves.

This interesting Ted talk by Uri Hasson reveals some fascinating and relevant information on brain waves and communication. We think you will enjoy it, especially if you do any kind of writing, speaking or singing.

Gather the particles of attention into a laser focus powerful enough to achieve your dreams.

Your Breath Can Help Your Focus

One of the most important tools for focus is simple and free. It’s is your breath. There are many free breathing trainings online. Here’s a great introductory video by one of our favorite breath and meditation teachers, Niraj Naik, whom we interviewed for the iCreateDaily Podcast.
