This book offers a simple but effective mental health exercise that will lead to confidence and focus in work, private life, or during extraordinary challenges like job loss, divorce, or life-threatening situations. This universally applicable concentration exercise can be done on the train, on the bus, on the toilet, while typing an e-mail, or while running for your life. It's simple, it's fast, and it works. The result of this exercise is that personal overall performance will increase. Fears, anxieties, uncertainties, doubts, depression, and despair will cease. With this simple technique, you will learn how to control negative feelings and states of mind. Hence, pain and distress will no longer be standing between you and your goals. Poor mental health is currently a growing problem. In the UK, one in four people are affected by a mental illness. The tendency is rising. According to the World Health Organization, half a billion people in the world currently suffer from mental health conditions.There are many reasons for this. One of them is our environment. We live in an increasingly stressful world. Jobs are demanding and packed with responsibilities. In addition, there is an information overload from mobile phones, apps, and TV screens. Everybody wants something from us at all times of the day. In short, we are under pressure, and nobody has ever taught us how to keep our mind healthy and happy under such conditions.Another reason lies within us. Every hour of the day, we clutter our minds. Instead of focusing on the important things in life such as completing our daily duties as best as we can, loving our family and friends, or helping others, we keep thinking about our neighbor's new car and become jealous of him. Or we ponder the price of the scarf we bought last week and cannot get rid of the feeling that we were ripped off by the seller. Or we are constantly worrying about what will happen to us if we are not able to complete a certain task. Our untrained minds invent a hundred reasons every day to become angry, hateful, agitated, or unhappy. The result of this may be general misery, depression, loss of friends, alcohol or drug addiction, or even suicide.But it is a fact that we can control our thoughts and feelings by simply focusing our mind. And with this, new possibilities for our future development open up. Obstacles turn into opportunities, hatred turns into friendship, and war into peace. This book tells my story of changing from someone who was determined by my surroundings and the clutter in my mind to someone who determines myself using the power of focusing.
