How to clear your mind to focus better
Distraction, mindfulness, suppression, substitution and meditation are the neuroscience (relating to nervous system) ways, in detail:
1.??????Be mindful
Pay attention. It's hard to slow down and notice things in a busy world...
Live in the moment. Try to intentionally bring an open, accepting and discerning attention to everything you do for a time period
Accept yourself. Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend.
Focus on your breathing.
2.??????Start writing
Write all thoughts down
Start a journal, highlight ideas
Write about the issue you want to tackle
3.??????Put on music
Concentration music with Alpha brain waves like:
