Concentration

Concentration
A troubled mind-set can cloud the focus, leaving one unable to concentrate on the events unfolding all around. Feeling unfocused will make it difficult to make decisions or hone in on goals.  
To regain the ability to focus on details that are important, it is essential to take a step back in order to re-educate the mind. Focus on a single topic, no matter how insignificant, and an improvement will be seen soon.
 
Concentrate the whole of the mental energy on a single, simple topic that can be thought through in its entirety. It may initially seem that there is little value in small tasks, however, these processes of mental exercise help us recapture our ability to concentrate by giving us the confidence to banish distracting notions. We thus condition ourselves to effectively fix our attention on those hefty details of life that are vital to our well-being.
