Why most of students can’t concentrate when they study?
Why can’t i concentrate when i study?
One of the great philosopher said “it’s better to read
one hour with concentration then 3 hours without concentration” means the
meaning is you can complete your 3hr work in 1hr.
I got a question from a reader telling me that he can’t
concentrate while studying.
The first questions you must ask yourself if you have a
similar problem is can you concentrate on other things other than studying?
If you can concentrate on other tasks normally but fail
to concentrate whenever it comes to studying then there might be some
psychological causes for your problem.
Of course i am assuming that you don't have any problems
with your brain or any physical defects that affect your ability to
concentrate. If you don't have any of these physical issues and still suffer
from this problem then i will tell you why you cant concentrate when it comes
to studying.
This
is why you can't concentrate when you study
There are three ways all humans follow when it comes to
dealing with problems. The first is trying to solve the problem, the second is
doing nothing and the third is self deception.
Because any person will feel guilty if he tried to ignore
his problem, or his studies in this case, he has to come up with a method of
self deception that can help him avoid the feelings of guilt.
Some people are afraid to study in order not to test
their self worth in the exam and that's why heir subconscious minds work
against them to prevent them from concentrating whenever they try to study.
Some other people are perfectionists who fear to lose a
mark or two because that would make them feel worthless and thus their minds
come up with a perfect self deception plan which is to never allow them to
concentrate whenever they attempt to study.
self deception methods are very common among people and
their primary goal is usually protecting the persons self esteem.
Of course i am not accusing you of not allowing yourself
to concentrate while studying on intention but i am accusing your subconscious
mind which came up with such a plan to prevent you from feeling guilty.
Self
deception and inability to concentrate while studying
The reason might differ from one person to another but in
the end the goal of the subconscious will be the same. Preventing the person
from concentrating while studying so that he can blame his lack of
concentration instead of affecting his self esteem in a bad way.
This situation is the same exactly as the one that
happens to the person who sleeps well everyday and suffers from insomnia on his
work days. Because there is some kind of a problem that he is trying to escape
from and because he doesn't want to think that he is escaping his mind came up
with the insomnia trick to prevent him from facing the unpleasant situation
without feeling guilty.
If you are unable to concentrate when studying but able
to concentrate on other tasks then ask yourself the question, is my mind doing
this to prevent me from feeling guilty while allowing me to escape from
something i don't want to face?
