Day 13

Today I had three tests to study for so I meditated right before I began to study in hopes that it would increase my awareness. Instead of focusing on my breathing like I normally do, I focused on an image in my mind of myself studying in a focused and productive manner. I did this because I wanted to make myself believe that I could remain focused for a long period of time without taking any breaks. 

Guess what? It worked! after meditating I opened my books and began to study. I remained focused for about 3 hours and the only reason that I stopped was because my brain was feeling numb. Usually it takes me 2 hours or longer to study for one test. Today, with a focus that I have never had before, I  got through 3 subjects in 3 hours! This was due, not only to the focus that meditation gave me, but also to the fact that meditation stimulates the brain which helped me learn the concepts faster.
