Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Hi, i am 16 years old and am quite busy preparing for JEE... But i find it extremely difficult to concentrate.. Whenever i try to focus on my studies many intrusive and obstructive thoughts block my mind. Namely i am fond of girls, and times and again i am lost over thinking about them (very much as a friend, nothing sexual). Again, sometimes i get hyper excited, and indulge various sporty activities like jumping, or dream about things which are obsolate but pleases me for the time-being and hence get distracted. Can you help me focus on my studies and get rid of these problems?
[|AI|]  Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span of below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. The obsessive thoughts which you refer to can be overcome with the help of active ignorance. Just ignore those thoughts, and they shall vanish if you ignore them continuously. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
