Hey brehs,

i need some help..I cant focus for shyt! Like at all. I can force myself and manage most times but i always get easily distracted and i hate that.

I was taking prescription meds for my issue before (Addy) but I ran out plus I heard thats not good for you. I run everyday and watch what i eat but staying focused for awhile is difficult and it's really starting to interfere with a lot of my projects

Can yall recommend something or maybe home remedies. Id like it to be relatively cheap as well and not too time consuming. Will dap + rep all who help

It's your lifestyle. Let me guess, you're highly into computer/phone? It destroys our short term memory which can alter one's attention span.

Train yourself to focus...

Sit still and stair at a point on a wall for 1 minute...Just think about that point...You do this by looking at the point, and actively thinking about its shape and size, and if you sense that your mind is starting to wonder, re-focus on that point and keep actively thinking about its shape and size...

After 1 minute take a break, and then start again...

I actually make my living off computers and social media but it gets to be a drag after a while. I stare at the screen but my mind is blank. I dont think it's burnout because i enjoy it, i just cant focus 100 percent because of it

Put Brahmi in ur foods... then burn rosemary oils at night... and meditate nightly. Drinks lots of water...

I few things that i would suggest are meditation and reading for pleasure...

Meditate a few times a day (~15-20 mins at a time): Close your eyes and focus on your breathing in a comfortable position in a quiet place. Any thoughts that try to bombard your mind -- accept them and let them go, don't pursue them. One trick to use is imagine that you are breathing out the distracting thought when you exhale. Its gone in the air and flowing out of consciousness.

Read hard copy books of something unrelated to work that you are interested in: Read slowly and for pleasure, not just to finish the book. Read in a place secluded from technology. Make it a hassle to have to do something else.

Sometimes you just need to practice concentrating in different ways, so that you can prime your mind to operate in that manner all the time.
