How to overcome distraction like watching reels on social media during important work like studying?

 *How to overcome routine distraction during work?*

              Or

 *How to develop a subconscious brain?* 

Distraction or immediate gratification is a common problem faced by everyone across all age groups during their work. Everyone get distracted from long term goal by more enjoyable short term pleasure

❇️ Example

      ---------------

🔹 It's too easy to watch one more episode of Tarak Mehta or watch 3 over of batting while promising yourself that you can practice on the ground afterwards.

🔹 Maximum students including adults intend to spend few minutes on social media while studying for exam, but you end up browsing how Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi was troll on Twitter, commenting on four status on Facebook or watch 2 video on YouTube. 

🔹 Desire to sleep instead of exercise or studying

 *In short...* You can't do big things if you are distracted by small things

❇️ Why?

      ---------

In above examples, students were aware of working hard immediately but still wasted time on TV or social media

🔹 Everyone want happiness at any cost

🔹 Also happiness without any delay

🔹. It's a natural human urge to have happiness or pleasurable things immediately in spite of knowing long term harm. *It is because of the subconscious brain.*

🔴 *Conscious vs subconscious brain* 

❇️Brain has two parts... 

🔹 Conscious brain which act through out our working hour 

🔹 subconscious brain which acts even when we are sleeping. Your subconscious mind is controlling all aspects of body including your breathing and circulation

 *In short...* Your subconscious brain is 30000 more powerful than conscious brain

🔴 *How does our subconscious brain develop?* 

🔹 Whatever we think or do daily in a daily life, it is because of conscious brain.

🔹 If you keep on thinking in the same way, it becomes part of life and it is stored in the subconscious brain. That's why some people have hard core religious beliefs.

🔹 If you keep on behaving similar way like brushing teeth in the morning, it became part of life and stored in subconscious brain

🔹 It means our subconscious brain is like a huge memory bank. It stores your beliefs, your previous experience, your memories in fact everything that you have seen, done or thought. 

🔹 The function of subconscious brain is to store and retrieve data exactly the way you are programmed

 *In short...* The subconscious mind is guiding force for entire life

🔴 *Why is our subconscious brain superior?* 

🔹 Which part of the brain makes logical or critical decisions?

# Conscious brain

🔹 Do we act logically or rationally every time?

# No... as we can understand from above example

🔹 We are forced to take maximum decision without logical reasoning because our brain want happiness at any cost

🔹Our subconscious brain is trained for happiness in the early part of life.

Example: If you got into the habit of sleeping till 7am and suddenly you decided to wake up at 5am for practicing running (Marathon competition after 6 month), your subconscious brain will oppose waking up early as it is trained to wake up at 7am.

🔹 In short, all our habits of thinking and acting are stored in the subconscious mind. It has memorized all your comfort zones and it works to keep you in them. Your subconscious mind causes you to feel emotionally and physically uncomfortable whenever you attempt to do anything new or different or to change any of your established pattern of behavior. 

🔹 You can feel your subconscious brain pulling you back towards your old pattern of course comfort zone each time you try something new. That's why old habits can be so hard to break. 

 *In short...* Your subconscious brain influences your attitude & actions and gives you solution

🔴 *Can we train our subconscious brain?* 

🔹 Yes... We can train subconscious mind   

🔹 Your subconscious brain is subjective, it does not think or reason independently 

Example: Advertisements of one product forces us to accept and buy it

🔹Your subconscious brain act on your past thought or action without judging right or wrong

Example: Diabetic patient eating sweet

🔹 Subconscious brain does not whether it is happening real or imaginary

Example: We have been taught to follow truth so while watching movie, you feel like hitting villain

How to change your subconscious brain... By action and thought.

 *In short...* Change your thought & daily routine, you change your destiny

🔴 *How can we reprogram our subconscious brain?*

Anyone can develop a subconscious mind by following techniques.... 

❇️ By action

🔹 Change the environment 

🔹 Brainwash technique 

❇️ By thought process 

🔹 Affirmation 

🔹 Visualization 

🔹 Feeling 

❇️ By controlling mind

🔹 Meditation 

 *Remember...* All things seem difficult at first 

🔴 *By actions* 

As you learned, that subconscious mind develops due to our past activities. If you perform all activities intentionally towards your dream goal, then the subconscious mind will develop accordingly in future.

❇️ Change the environment 

      --------------------------------------------------

🔹 We perform all our activities in front of friends, society and family. 

🔹 We also spend a lot of time on social media and television 

🔹 Always select the positive aspects from above list and try to avoid negativity as much as possible. 

🔹 If you spent maximum time with good students, then your subconscious mind will develop accordingly as we are the average of 5 things with whom you associate the most. 

 *In short...* Attitude is greatly shaped by association & influence

❇️ Brainwash technique 

      -----------------------------------

Everyone is constantly brain washed whether you realize or not. 

 *Example:* The commercials we see on television or social media spend crores of rupee. As the commercial that we watch brainwash us into believing that certain products or companies are better than all the others. 

🔹 Brain takes a minimum of 21 days to adopt new habit. 

🔹 If you do any work for consecutive 21 days, good or bad... it will become a habit 

Example: If you wake up at 5am instead of 7am for 21 days continuously, then you usually wake up at 5am even if you slept late on that day. 

 *In short..* The subconscious mind is like a tape player; until you change the tape, it will not change 

🔴 *By thought* 

Lord Gautam Buddha taught, " Your karma does not depend not only on action, but also on your thoughts ." If you focus on positive or negative thoughts, the universe through the law of attraction will respond enthusiastically to both, without thinking which one is better for you. 

As we know our subconscious mind is developing due to thought processes, we can use this as a tool to develop subconscious mind as per your wish. 

 *In short...* The law of attraction is working whether we believe or not
