The Two-Minute Mind
It is one of the best exercises to train attention. Curiously, if you begin practicing the Two-Minute Mind, you
may discover that the exercise soon becomes harder. This is because with practice you become more discerning of your own attention.
You know exactly when your attention is murky and when it's clear.
You become more critical and demand of yourself a higher degree of mental clarity. After a couple of weeks of steady practice — say
five or ten minutes a day — you'll feel a remarkable improvement in your attention. You will be able to concentrate for longer periods.
Your mind will feel clearer, and it will take less time to gather and focus the full hundred volts of mental energy.
Let’s begin:
• Place a clock or a watch directly in front of a television playing a sit-com, the news, or better yet, commercials. Try to focus your attention on the movement of the second hand for two solid minutes. Don't allow the television to steer the
focus of your attention.
• Focus half of your attention on the motion of the second hand and half on your
hands. Split your attention down the middle.
• Place half of your attention on the motion of the second hand and half on a
number series. Mentally recite the numbers 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4, 2,4,6, and so on, juggling both items in your mind. If you start thinking about something else, or if you lose your place in the series, start again. Strive for two minutes or
longer.
• Concentrate on the' motion of the second hand with a third of your attention. With another
third, focus on reciting a verse, like Mary Had a Little Lamb, or Row, Row, Row Your Boat.
With the remaining third of your attention, focus on a number series.
Try this exercise to sharpen your focus!
