How Meditation Improves Attention

This article is interesting to read if you are into mediation. According to studies people who meditate have larger attention spans. Other studies have shown that meditation can benefit motivation, cognition, emotional intelligence and awareness to maybe control our dreams. I think that by meditating we will have better psychological and physical benefits. Maybe if we know how to concentrate more there will be fewer people falling asleep while in classes, this might even improve some of our grades. There are some neat tips on how to become a mediator if anyone wants to check it out it's on the psyblog.

  1. Well, meditation is kind of an odd subject for me. I've heard that many people meditate or do yoga to motivate themselves. I have tried yoga and I definitely think that there are some benefits to my motivation because it makes me feel good about myself, which overall boosts my emotions and motivation. However, I don't think that meditation will improve people in school's concentration. I think that if people are tired in school then it is because they simply did not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep results in fatigue and impairs concentration.
