Today, you’ll read the opinions of several professionals about tackling poor concentration. The first specialist is Gloria Mark, Ph.D., who has spent her entire career multitasking, especially with the rise of digital technologies. Daniel Amen, MD, author of the forthcoming book, Change Your Brain Every Day, also shares his point of view on how to concentrate better. Without further ado, let’s learn how to effectively improve your concentration.

One of the things you can try is mindful meditation. As Daniel Amen puts it, this activity boosts blood flow to the part of the brain that’s responsible for focus and attention span. Believe it or not, loving-kindness meditation can substantially increase your concentration levels. Amen says you just need to give yourself warm wishes, like wishing yourself a calm, peaceful day, etc. Before long, you’ll start feeling more in control and alert.

As you might have noticed, every person has their natural rhythm – i.e., ups and downs in their concentration levels. If you want to concentrate better, follow your natural flow and ebb. If you don’t know it, perhaps now’s a good time to determine it. You can track at what time you feel most focused and for how long. Once you’ve pinpointed it, you’ll be able to use it to your advantage.

Another thing you should try is to visualize your success. Create a clear picture of what you want to accomplish. If you can, try to make a step-by-step guide of what you’ll do to achieve your goals. According to Gloria Mark, that can greatly help you concentrate better and for longer.

Many people lose concentration when they’re under excessive stress. According to experts, people can lose up to 20% of their concentration levels under stress. So, the best thing you can do to have more control over your concentration is to take the time to relax and unwind. Instead of taking on multiple tasks at a time, try another approach. Sometimes, as little as a 15-minute break can do wonders for you, helping you concentrate much better.

During an interview, Keanu Reeves revealed that the next installment of the John Wick franchise will pack the biggest punch to date, and was his hardest physical role yet. The actor dropped a few hints, revealing what fans can expect when the film finally drops in March.

Keanu Reeves Returns as John Wick

Keanu Reeves stated that John Wick: Chapter 4 has the most action of any of the series, pointing out that this was saying a lot, considering the other three movies. According to the actor, it’s more by a good margin, and the entire experience was a big show. People will be able to strap themselves in for thrilling action.

Reeves is famous for doing his own exhilarating stunts. He disclosed that filming for the upcoming John Wick movie might have been demanding but was entirely worth it. To prepare for the role, Keanu Reeves underwent extensive training to enhance his existing impressive collection of stunts. He referred to those as his “toolbox” and has apparently added various high-speed car chase scenes and incredible stunts to that toolbox.

Donnie Yen Plays the Villain

Reeves said the crew took the action to the next level for the fourth movie and shared that the training involved doing moves like forward-into-reverse 180s, reverse-into-forward 270s, and drifting. He found those stunts to be enjoyable and that they gave him an opportunity to showcase his abilities in the movie.

Another crucial factor in the film will be the dynamic struggle between Reeves as the hero and action icon Donnie Yen as the villain. Yen takes up the role of Wick’s newest adversary, Caine. He’s an ex-assassin who is also an old friend of Wick. According to the stunt coordinator and second unit director Scott Rogers, the two were an explosive pairing. Rogers shared that Yen brought his master-level fighting abilities to the films and called him a great actor who is also a trained fighter.
