A.H.Baxmanyor once stated: “Look for a people whose a conversation feels like reading a book, and look for a book that feels like a conversation with philosopher.” This quote has really deep meaning, which helps you become more successful in your life by avoiding unnecessary people and books. Our state leader Shavkat Mirziyoyev expressed his opinion about reading books, including the following: “… nowadays there is an issue of great importance, namely to spread reading widely, we need to increase student’s intellectual immunity and raise their love to books to a higher level”. That is not secret, that a reader lives in two different worlds: the real world around us and the imaginative world within the book. Every book that I read feels like i am living on someone`s life, the worst part of it, it is finishing this life by not wanting it. It is really hard to describe the feeling that I got through while I read books.

By doing so, reading can decrease stress, lower heart rate and reduce blood pressure. 4) It motivates you. As a person who get all motivation from the books I read, I can tell that it is for real.

After rereading firstly, you waste your time by coming back to that paragraph that you already read, secondly this book seems boring to you. The problem with this is, that you can`t concentrate, let`s say you reading and the main character is describing his birthday. And you immediately image your birthday party, by thinking how cool it was, full of fun, that your parents bought you a pink bicycle… you are reading but you are thinking out of theme, which worsen the situation. As we came across to the problem with the concentration, to solve this issue, I will tell you a few ways to develop your focus while reading. 1) “The dot exercise” This exercise is considered as one of the easiest and effective one. To do this exercise you need a paper and a pen. After getting them, you have to draw a point on the paper, then we have to sit on the chair and stick that piece of paper on the wall in front of you. Then you should look at that paper for 3 minutes, without any distractions. After a week of training, we have to increase it by 2 minutes. 3+2=5. So for another week you train your focus for 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 9min, 11… 2) 5-4-3-2-1 technique 1) pay attention to five things you see around 2) choose something you can hold and see 3) pay attention to three sound you heard 4) feel two smells around you 5) find one thing that you can eat Without any hesitation I can say that, this method helped me to develop my focus, because I was able to do this exercise whenever i want, wherever i want. It is convenient in anywhere. The main thing is to make it right. 3)Mindful meditation. In modern psychotherapy meditation is used as an exercise to help you feel present and develop your concentration skills. To meditate, find a convenient place to do it. Close your eyes and silently observe your emotions, what are you feeling? What are experiencing. Do it every day for 5 minutes. If you want observe emotion more and stay calm, you can increase the time of meditation by 5or even 10 minutes. Meditation makes a person feel better, it can reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus as I told and your mental health, reduce symptoms of depression. Another effective way to focus is called “Listen to your interlocutor”. This method more than just making a conscious effort to listen to your interlocutor`s speech. Because it is important to spend time and mental effort to mentally process the information received. Then you start focusing on your companion`s speech, by only analyzing it on your mind.
