How can mindfulness meditation improve your focus?
Numerous studies have shown that mindfulness
meditation can improve our ability to sustain
attention. The ability to concentrate on our
breathing for long periods of time transfers over
to other pursuits. If we can focus on a subtle
object like our breath for 20 minutes, think how
easy it will be to focus on sports, work, our
partner, or anything else for that matter.
