Lack of attention is one of the issues that we hear about frequently lately, but for which there are not enough resources for drug-free solutions. Today, one of the main problems of both adults and children is attention deficit and forgetfulness.
When it comes to attention deficit and forgetfulness, the first organ that comes to mind is undoubtedly our brain. The brain generally consists of two main parts: right lobe and left lobe. Research conducted in recent years has shown us that both lobes of the brain are active in different functions. While the right lobe is more active in functions such as visuality, seeing the whole, and artistic activities, our left lobe is more active in functions such as academic activities, language learning, and seeing details. The main factor in eliminating attention deficit and reducing forgetfulness is the activation of both lobes of the brain.
In the vast majority of people, one lobe of the brain functions dominantly. Either our right lobe or our left lobe is actively working. Being able to activate both lobes is the basis for reducing forgetfulness and eliminating attention deficit.
By examining many factors, it is possible to learn which lobe of the brain is active in a person. I would like to share a few of these factors with you. For example, if you were able to understand and learn verbal lessons more easily during your school years, if you dream frequently, if you remember your dreams clearly, if you enjoy playing team games, if you use hand-arm movements and facial expressions a lot while talking, if you do not have difficulty in guessing the time, if you do not easily forget a face you see. Your right lobe is working actively. On the contrary, if you were able to understand and learn numerical lessons more easily during your school years, if you rarely dream and cannot remember your dreams clearly, if you enjoy doing individual sports more, if you do not use your body language much when speaking, if you have difficulty estimating the time, if you have difficulty remembering people's faces and remembering their names easily, know that Your left lobe is most likely active.
In fact, when a human being is born, both parts of his brain are He is born in a state where he actively uses his lobe. However, while we unknowingly activate one of our lobes due to the events, situations, reactions to them, feedback, etc. we experience, the other lobe becomes passive, even if unintentionally. For example, let's say a little child draws and is praised by those around him for it. Naturally, this child will continue to draw and the brain lobe he uses for this action (right lobe for this activity) will also begin to become active. In other words, the saying "Iron that works shines" is valid here. Of course, the opposite is also true. So in this case, the saying "Iron that does not work rusts" begins to prevail. If we do not have a physical disability, we will not have difficulty in the act of 'walking'. We can easily move from one place to another by using both of our legs, and this activity does not strain us much. However, I want you to visualize a picture like this. Imagine that even though you had two healthy legs from birth, they taught you to walk with one leg and you walked with one leg. You've always walked on one leg your whole life. Even though you have two legs, you try to reach from one place to another with one leg, that is, by jumping. This would undoubtedly be a ridiculous, unnecessary and very tiring activity. Because jumping requires you to make a serious effort. At the same time, when you have two legs, it would be foolish not to use one, to put it simply. But what can we do, this is what you were taught. In this case, the act of walking would undoubtedly be like torture. Going from one place to another would get you into serious trouble.
In fact, using one lobe of the brain actively and leaving the other idle is like walking on one leg in this example. Now the question is: While we have two brain lobes, how accurate is it to use one of them and try to learn something and keep it in memory in this way? If someone had told you that you had a second leg and that you could use it in the act of walking, and you, who had been accustomed to walking with one leg since birth, would undoubtedly say: "THE ACT OF WALKING HAS CHANGED AS I THOUGHT; IT IS ACTUALLY A VERY SIMPLE ACTION."
Now, some simple math for you. I want to ask the question. But it's really simple. How much is 1+1? Feel free to answer, because there is no game in this. The answer is very simple: 2 It does. But what does this 2 result mean? If the question is asked for the decimal system, the answer is correct. However, if it were asked in the 2-point system instead of the 10-point system, the question and the answer would change. If I'm not mistaken, the answer to this question, 1+1, should be 10 in the binary system. (Let's apologize to our mathematician friends.) As you can see, when the "SYSTEM" changes, the result also changes. When we use both lobes of our brain together, the "SYSTEM" will change and naturally the result will change and we will be able to see how excellent our brain can actually accomplish. Just like the surprise and joy of a person who is used to walking with one leg when he learns that he can walk with both legs.
It is possible to improve attention, strengthen memory and thus prevent forgetfulness. There are a few important concepts here. Now I want to talk about them.
Perhaps the most important concept in attention and memory is visuality. When information becomes visual, forgetting is greatly reduced. The second important concept is emotions. The most important point in keeping memories in mind and being remembered years later is intense emotions. I want to ask two questions here.
First: What did you have for dinner ten days ago?
Second: Do you have any memories from your childhood that remain in your mind?
I usually ask these two questions to the participants in the seminars I conduct. While the vast majority of participants did not remember the first question, I did not come across even a single person who answered no to the second question, that is, "I do not remember anything about my childhood." One is a question from ten days ago; one from years ago. Why do you think this happens? The answer to this question is hidden in the concept I mentioned above, that is, emotions. When emotion is involved, forgetting almost disappears. Especially if the emotion experienced - positive or negative - is intense, forgetting almost never occurs.
Another concept is difference. If you had had dinner with the prime minister or a favorite artist ten days ago, would you have forgotten it? Difference is the most important thing that attracts our attention. If we see a pine tree completely covered in purple in a forest area covered with pine trees, I think it would immediately attract our attention and we would see that tree. We would like to take your picture. Similarly, if someone tells you that he sees a cat, this will not attract our attention. However, if this were a talking cat and we actually saw it, we would remember that moment for the rest of our lives and tell everyone we came across. The only difference between the two trees/cats is difference. What is different is remembered.
Besides and beyond all these, there is another concept. That too again. Repetition is one of the indispensable conditions for learning and memorizing. If our goal is to learn something, we have to do it again. What I want to emphasize here is this: If we can improve our attention and activate both lobes of our brain, the number of repetitions we need to do will begin to decrease significantly. We can achieve more permanent learning in less time. Now I would like to finish the article by talking about a few things that can be done. However, I have a condition for these things to be done; I want continuity. You have to repeat what I am about to say EVERY DAY. I think I heard you say promise. Well, then I continue.
First of all, before going to bed, sit upright every night and try to remember that day, but backwards. More precisely, do it from evening to morning. Always ask yourself this question; “What did I just do?” Don't forget to think in as much detail as possible about your answer to this question. So “What did I just do?” If the answer to your question is that you watched a movie, review the movie like this; think about the events, the topic; Think of the actor, actress, etc. If you watched the match, think about the score; Think about who scored the goals, at what minute the goals were scored, etc. Keep remembering until the moment you wake up in the morning.
Secondly, do things with your opposite hand. For example, write with your opposite hand for 15 minutes every day. Keep time and try to write more words every day and of course write more neatly. Do almost all your work with your opposite hand from time to time. For example, stir the sugar in the tea with the opposite hand, open the door with the opposite hand, cut with the scissors with the reverse hand, etc. Remember, the brain works crosswise. In other words, when you work with your right hand, the left lobe works, and when you do work with your left hand, the right lobe works.
Third, make changes in your daily work. For example, change the route you take to work, get off the minibus one stop earlier, change the shape of your room from time to time, etc. b. Make the brain work differently with changes. Fourth, engage your senses. When buying things from the grocery store or market, smell them. Smell the tomato, cucumber, pepper, etc. Examine their shapes. Be sure that you will discover many beauties. When you're eating something, look, touch, smell before popping it into your mouth. Maybe you will at least have the chance to remember the One Who Provides for you.
Finally, stay away from the evil called television. At least reduce your viewing time. The things that make the brain inactive the most are things like television.
And read lots of books.
WITH MY WISHES OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING..
GOODBYE..
