Concentration is something you can learn and practice. If someone in your life is struggling with concentration, the first step is to teach them how to concentrate, and the second step is for them to practice it to become better at it.
Have empathy and compassion for yourself when learning about concentration. You were probably never taught how to concentrate or how the mind works in school so while you are in the process of learning how to do it, you can’t expect perfection right away.
In everyday life, people make the mistake of telling others to focus without acknowledging their lack of training e.g. big companies tell their employees to focus without having taught them how to focus in the first place.

As a 70 years mature, I am a full-time Caregiver for my special needs daughter (33) and my mother (88) I am not able to afford the Dandapani courses. I appreciate the Ted Talk videos and the TH-cam videos. 🌅 🌎 🌙
Thank you so very much for all that you teach dear Sir Jim Kwik & Dandapani. You're my favourite teacher online 💛
I am been suffering from TBI and PTSD. And I'm on medication since past one month. Nexito 10 mg & I keep clonaz for urgent cases. I am having nerve pain in chest and neck area sometimes. Is it due to vitamin B deficiency or the head injury. My MRI & scans shows normal. But the pain still remains on back side of the head where I was hit numerous times by a some guys.
Thank you for blessing with your advises.
Your biggest fan
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤

1. Do one thing at a time.
2. Finish what you've started
3. Practice will power, that is, do a little bit more than expected.
I think you can do several things but only if you have practised each one very well first.
@@xilo3012 Multitasking is a myth. You think you are doing multitasking because your mind is shifting its awareness from one thing to another at a very fast pace. In reality you are always doing one thing at a time, you just don't realize it.
@@nikhilarora5344 You're right.Its not the actual multi tasking we/our brain is doing, rather it is time sharing. Same concept is used in Operating systems where we talk about multi tasking but with a single CPU, it does always one task but the switch between processes is so fast that we can't realize and we think it is doing multi tasking. For multi tasking to happen, there should be multi processors(analogous to having multiple brains). With single brain, at any point in time, one thing can be done. Apologies if I am wrong...
Whats the whole point of the video if it is all here
@@nikhilarora5344not quite, there are people who can draw with one hand and solve math with another. Drawing and making patterns is completely different than analyzing and concluding data
I pray that whoever reads this and is going through a difficult time, don't give up, good things are coming for you, you will achieve your dreams in this lifetime
Thanks...💯
True maybe. I just felt like giving up on life. Few days before.
@@questionable69 Seek and ye shall find.., 😆😆
Why am I seeing similar (free prayer) comments in all the Jim kwik's videos
Thank you!
I have been struggling my life with ADHD ,and dispersion for 17yrars . Maybe more than that , started getting medication for 8 years , all I have heard is I have to deal with it.
It took 17years to me to figure out that cause of all these bullshit sicknesses is concerntation. I practiced , forced myself to too hard finally I could rewire my brain and completely got rid of all my mental issues . Last week I suddenly become someone entirely different and feel like a genius who knows everything. I am 37 now. My life just started .. 😊
🤩
Good for you. 👍🏾
Amazing and what kind of steps did you take?
@@medstudent.5645 first u need to understand the theory behind all these bad things among us . It's about the wrong program which we made unconsciously during our Life Time. In order to change it for better, we need rewrite the bad program in us to a better one. There are 3ways to do that
Hypnosis
Brain shock treatment (I am not really familiar with)
Or being on the present moment.
I chosed "being on present moment"
Need to stay every second on the present moment and make mistakes
Right day today life while being positive . Should never let your mind travels in to past or future if it's not necessary for just a moment in case. You won't get resalt over night , coz there's a bad program that already chronicled in side you which needs to be replaced by a New one. So u need to stick with that practice for awhile.
Think we have 24hours per day , we sleep at least 7hours then do the math , we got 17hours usually we stay awake. During this 17hours u need to stay on the present moment positively as much as you can to rewrite the program. The time is depending on how long u can do it.
Our old program is very solid and like a railway track that keeps the train runs on it. So it will always pull u back in to thy track when u feel negative and lost your emotions always . So what u basically do is making a strong solid program just like a different rail track within you.
Successful people also did the same thing but not knowing this secret . I hope this information would helps.
Hey i am suffering from same problem plz help me how to concentrate i am 18 and can't concentrate on any single thing
Two of my favourite teachers together. Amazing
Practical Inspiration mos def
Indeed, mine too.👍👍🤗
Absolutely! Mine too
Guys I found out how to concentrate and improve yourself by squeezing your mind muscles .it gives you a quick period of concentration for me it improve my vision and my inner voice and my thoughts I hope someone’s develop my idea cause it doesn’t last more than 10 seconds than you came back normal
Yep
this was exactly what I needed. I'm finding it very hard to focus on my studies, my awareness keeps drifting away which makes studying way harder, it's taking me more time than it should. This is my "aha" moment when I noticed that I really need to work on my concentration, thank you both. My aha moment here was when Dandapani said " imagine you've been practising distraction for 20 years, you'd be so good at it" which is true in my case. Thank you Jim for helping us live more fulfilled lives. You are great.
any effect of it now?
Well, one must breathe all the time, why not focus upon your breathing even just for a few minutes per day, especially in the morning. Feel the breath going in and out at the tip of the nose, notice when the mind drifts away, bring it back and think of nothing but the breathing itself, always coming back after drifting. Do that for 5 or 10 minutes each morning and you will find that you are able to apply that to any task. Thank you Jim and Dandapani for sharing, love you guys!
No teacher will teach you to concentrate.Great topic..God bless you both..
This is very helpful to me. I suffer from OCD and my therapist once told me that "the mind is tree a full of monkeys; some are sad, some are happy, some are fighting, and some are throwing shit all over the place." You take this metaphor and you marry it with Dandapani's, and it in a way it all makes sense. You can't control your thoughts, but you can control what you do about them. I once heard that a big reason why people cant meditate, and profoundly refuse to, is solely because once they close their eye, the notice how "crazy" they are in terms of the vast thoughts, images, short/long stories that come to play. The point is at the moment not to run away, but to run towards. You do this, one step at a time, and the more you practice, the bigger and better each step feels. Thank you Dandapani, the state of Maine loves you and so do I.
Same on me 😢a lot of monkeys in my head
When Dandapani said, "do thing one at a time" I was studying at the same time listening to this. Ooops.
U r not alone 🤣
Same
eating breakfast, drinking coffee, listening and now typing this.... ehm?!
😂
Frances Yoo don’t do that again :)
This should be taught in school..
Agreed!

The problem is found out this by me on school
The science teacher was explaining and since I I do that I understand and remember easily what she said that moments
I've said this many times in the past. "Med-Ed" (meditation training) should have as much a place in our schools as "Phys-Ed" does now. Concentration/Focus training, gratitude practice, goal setting...so many things in our school system should take precedence over what is currently taught.
My two favourite mentors together.. wonderful.
Wonderful, mine too, great people!👍👍🤗
This was never taught in my school days. This is truly magical. Thank you.
Thank you, Jim. We need Great Spirits, Minds like you and Dandapani are. We need to wake up and stay conscious instead of "sleeping" our life in illusion. We get very useful help to take our life into our hands instead of living as victims. Peace with You.
I came to TH-cam to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
Investing in stocks is a good idea, a good trading system would puts you through many days of success.
It is also possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority. However, most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market than to the cost of proper diversification
Having monitored my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping from $360k just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders makes enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market.
Interesting. I have a lump sum of cash doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how did you achieve this?
Exactly, the trick is to diversify your investment, don't panic when everyone else do and invest consistently
For :-
Concentration:- Do one thing at a time
Will power:-1) Finished where you began
2) Do little bit more than you think you can
3) Do little bit better than you think you can
Practice practice practice it
I didn't find point number 3 in this video can you plz help me ?
The apposite that 16 - 17 hours of distraction and you become expert , great one sir
How clear the monk explains. My englishis not good and understand very well.
"Do one thing at a time" & I was reading comments while watching the video... 😜
Me too😅
I laughed a lot man😂😂
Lol same here, cheers to us :)
lol, I put it on 2x speed and scrolled to the comments only about 7 seconds in the video. Saw this comment. I usually go to the comments after I increase the speed just to see if someone typed out some bullet points.
Me too...
I think the best way to really practice concentration is if you concentrate on things that are boring to you. Your mind instantly gonna travel to places to entertain itself, so it's the perfect playing ground for improving your concentration.
great advice brother
there is a focus light be like that focus light only focus at one task when your task is completed then focus on others & do the things you love.
Wow thank you
Superb idea,thanks for sharing
Awareness is so amazing. It’s been a long time but I’m very happy to stumble upon this. I’ll be practicing my concentration starting with my wife and son.
I’m going to focus in feeling satisfied, happy, and be way more aware of my moods, when I’m in conversations!! I want to have more meaningful conversation and stop being so self centered!!!
I love the fact that even camera goes out of focus during this video.
Great content as always Jim and Danapani.
I've studied both of these amazing men. It's So great that they're collaborating on this video! I love the "ball of light" exercise from Dandipani. That was a huge revelation for me. He goes further into it in how own videos. Jim and his story are just absolutely mind-blowing as well. Things could have certainly gone in a different direction for him. But learning how to concentrate, and how to actually learn....in my opinion, literally saves his life. That's to you both for such sage advice!!
I've used an opportunity to concentrate fully while watching my two favourite wise men!
ThankU Jim kwik for brought extraordinary souls on your channel
Namaste, I am grateful that the ancient wisdom of India and Hinduism ( yoga and meditation) is being appreciated and adapted all over the world now...
This is a life lesson. All kids should. Be taught this essential advice. Thanks teachers.
Why are you reading my comment? You are doing MULTITASKING,
please Concentrate back to FOCUS.
No
Im reading after watching it😊😊😊
@@priyaraj1175 good :)
@@priyaraj1175 liar :P
Hahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah..I will do right now..!!😂😂😂😂
I can’t believe, how valuable on the each of your words. I think this is the most educated program in social media in the world. Who are listening this. They are very lucky to get next one.
I am now 15 seeing this after it was posted years ago, I'm glad I have gotten out of this persona to where I let everything control me... I've been learning a lot from you two recently and If I saw this when it was posted, when I was 13, it'll be nearly unimaginable how much of a better person I would be. Thank y'all, figuring stuff like this out myself is always frustrating bc I never know where to start.
I'm happy for you watched this video, keep practicing and you will have a bright future.
Your conversation made me concentrate on what you both guys say for 17 minutes straight. What a good start for me! More power Jim and Dandapani!
What a fantastic example that he gave difference between mind and awareness
Mind is like a base in which lot of things kept and awareness is like a ball ,We can only control that ball but not base....Absolutely right
These are the real influencers that our society needs...👏🙌💪
I never get tired of Jim's videos! So good!
Oh my god. Im so excited for this. Two of the most amazing people together!
Wow ever since I've saw Dandapani and watching him. My mind and I started to follow his story. You both are very inspiring. I am almost 50th and don't even know what I want in life. Sad but so true.
You want Mystery
I am 40 same with me. Even I don't know. Still trying to figure out.
Why not look at their beauty of overcoming as the true inspirational meaning to us with a life lining to grasps of hope.
Thank y’all so much dearest 🌹
Y’all such an inspiration 🥰
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏😇🌈
Olympia LePoint's book, her TedX, lead me to Kwik then Dandapani. In just 5 weeks I'm learning my brain is a high functioning tool. I share this info with my son & sister. I'm almost 70 and you have improved me with life. With structure. With power. With learning to focus. 🌅 🌎 🌙
Waooo the two legends in a duo conversation, can't afford to miss.
It was a great discussion between you and Dandapani, and I learnt a lot.
Concentration lends itself over to much better decisions down the long road straight ahead...
Thank you Dandapani. I was searching for this help. Grateful to you.
Thanks Jim.
Amazing facts, sir! That's what I do everyday to keep me focus on what did I've achieved on.
Two legends at one place
I’ve been asking myself the last few months how to concentrate ?? And wallah! This video popped out! Thank you Jim for doing what you do & Dandapani for your wisdom! God bless you both
I just made a screenshot of this video. I will concentrate on my daily eating routines - and stay fully present during the feeding. This is my first step in practicing concentration. Thank you Jim and Dandapani.
First time to know dandapan i study him in one of my psychology course at University.
Thank you for the awesome video 😊🙏
This is indeed helpful.
I can see myself picking up a book and reading it through.
This is just a brake through for me.
Thank you so very much.
What a year 2023 will be for me.
Be here and now.
I just listened and will definitely run with this.❤️❤️
Thanks so much for your book sir change my life limitless
I am working on bringing back my focus on present moment when I stray away ,thank you both awesome God bless 🙏❤️ love peace joy to all 🙏 ❤️ Oneness.
@nalini best of luck
You got it girl...you can do this .....
Appreciate the 2 brain and mind Teachers 🙌🏽
I just can't thank both of u enough...
Two genius together.. just wow
Kwik we people are so happy to have you. I learned tapping technique form the expert you brought which is so life changing. Do bring many experts. Bring many experts who spoke in Ted talk if pos.
Which video is that in
Lately, i'm doing one wonderful practice to learn concentration: i'm standing on nails. That's what shuts my brain down and lets me drive through my life.
Best explanation in mind and awareness ever, mind is like vast space and it doesn’t move, but your awareness is the one moving!
I will take Dandapani's 10 chapter course! Thanks Jim! Your a blessing
Great video, can we take time also to appreciate how good the communication between Jim and Dandapani was?, I am not sure if it's because of their concentration or empathy since they are very similar in a lot of ways, but is cool to watch two persons talk without interruption listening with respect and commenting on the topic at the same time
I concentrate by using some amazing simple tricks
1. Wake up early at sharp 04:00am (I discovered some amazing tricks that help me a lot to get up early)
2. Decipline yourself take a look at your to do list
3. Fresh up
4. Most important -Meditate (daily practice of meditation helped me in my studies a lot I can concentrate more and I m able to absorb more)
5. Read books daily or listen to audio books☺my favorite
6. Never study for more than an hour. Take short breaks, fresh ur mind and get ready to hustle a little more
Yes I also follow this routine.. 😍
Thnks for penning it down. I know what i hv to do.. I sit for it.. But just dont do it.. I m suffering.

It is like dandapani talking to you in person and teaching you . You wont regret getting it as long you applied it to your life. I work 3 to 11 i was lazy before to do something else in the morning but now coz i dandapani i go to the gym every morning , do all errands in the morning take care of my wife and kids cooks before going to work , then work like my body doing it easily. My will power and focus at work boosted as well. You wont regret it.

"See people as an opportunity to concentrate "
I say that all the time to my 7 year old son...”can u just focus PLEASE!” Right after I say it, I realize that I myself struggle to focus
Wow this was great. I started meditating a few weeks ago and found Jim’s community soon after so this is right up my street. I feel like I should watch this everyday.
Thank you Jim for this wonderful video. I wish there was an English subtitle!
Technology is good... I'm using it right now to watch these powerful life-changing lessons
Well said
I have been following you Sir and this video is really special. One can easily link it with your how to read one book in week masterclass. These videos are so helpful for ppl who are struggling with concentration and want to learn it . Thanks alot. Keep sharing more videos like these. Love from India.
Thanks for this video, for 30 yrs of my life I have trouble in my Focus ability that led to regrets of what I really want in life. This taught me that it is still never too late to do what you want to do in life, Thanks Jim for letting me know my worth and ability to restart my life and dream big again, Thank you Dandapandi for the learnings from you, believe me first time I had this intense focus on your advises, thank you, thank you, and God Bless both of you.
Create life and create your dreams and to be kind and focus
I always listen to music while studying i'm doing two things at a time 🤔🤔🤔 for me to be able to remember what i read i have to write it down then i won't forget
"What is ruining your life your inability to exercise discipline around the use of technology"
😃
Great Knowledge..Thanks Jim. I really like your and Dandapani's teachings :)
What a great interview! Thank you both!
When they've shaked their hands at the end i was like "nooooooooo"
It’s so sad when we are trying to learn to concentrate and do one thing at a time .
One of our job scope is “ able to multitask “ 😞
Time mgmt.
Two of my favorite people!
Jim you are equivalently knowledgeable
Person as like Dhandapani , it reflects in your questions , great work Jim .. Thanks Dhandapani
My daughter needs to concentrate in her study but she couldn't. I just removed her phone and her pc and she only can take them back when the task had been accomplished and well done. Sometimes all we need is a "higher power" to help us to remove us from distraction. Now if she wants to learn to concentrate with meditation is up to her.
Dear Mr Kwik.... can u make a video to get rid of procrastination and laziness once and for all??.... thank you in advance😊😊
This was so needed as I have been on the journey to learn.
Two beautiful people, one wonderful interview. Thank you. I'm going to master my morin khuur and overtone chanting. I'm going strive to get my paper published, my raw material verified and sold, and establish the conservation project I was born to manifest. I am going to to my TM every day. And watch more of these guys' wisdom.
To improve your concentration -
Practice doing one thing in a time!
Dandapani and Jim Kwik discuss the importance of concentration and provide tips on how to improve it. Some key points include:
Concentration is at the crux of all human success and endeavor.
Concentration is something that can be learned and practiced.
The ability to concentrate is essential for manifesting and creating what you want in life.
The first step in improving concentration is defining what it is: the ability to keep your awareness on one thing for an extended period of time.
Practice doing one thing at a time to improve concentration. For example, when speaking with a loved one, give them your undivided attention.
Develop empathy and patience with yourself in the process of improving concentration.
Technology is not inherently bad; it is our inability to exercise discipline around its use that is the problem.
Concentration is necessary for being present in all experiences and for being mindful.
Awareness can be visualized as a glowing ball of light that can travel to different areas of the mind.
To improve concentration, one can also practice meditation, set a timer to focus on one task for a set amount of time, or practice deep breathing to calm the mind and increase focus.
Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of concentration for success and happiness, and provides practical tips for improving it in daily life.
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🙏🙏👍🏾
Love you jim kwik and your video
Let's first concentrate on the interview then read the comments ...
😆
I will concentrate on guiding my students this week from how to concentrate on one exercise at the time trough all the exercises they have to complete. So there's going a lot of focused concentration for the next day's 😄
By the way... I didn't really understand where to publish or send the Screenshot of this video 😋
:)
Wonderful lesson learned from this video! Thank you Jim for this interview! Really helped.
Two Masters in a discussion.. wonderful treat
6:20 thank me later😛😛
@@jnorman738 sorry but he is fake
@@forgenic2700 my disappointed is immeasurable
@@jnorman738 yes
- Life isn't short but it is finite - if I want to look back on my life and be able to say that it was amazing I need to learn how to be present in the moment -> learn how to concentrate!
- There is the mind and there is awareness
○ Awareness travels to different areas of the mind (think of it as a "ball of light"
○ The mind doesn't move, it's awareness that travels
○ Your goal: control awareness
○ Concentration: ability hold awareness in a certain area of the mind
- Things we can do
- Focus on doing ONE THING AT THE TIME
○ Start bit by bit, it's a mental muscle that you need to build day by day
- For example, give your spouse undivided attention for two hours a day
- Instead, we just practice being distracted all-day
- Have empathy, patience and compassion with yourself while you're working on building concentration, it will be worth it!
○ The rewards are far greater than the effort put into it
- Truly experience the moments in your life
I can remember in the 70s we had to live , learn , without likes and shares. We used our imagination and creativity with that you used your mind and your hands for usefulness.
wow am very lucky to see my two great mentors together
Full Concentration in memorization of Holy Quran is what I'm going to practice..!
