The key to unlock your genius

But before you read the 50 tips, there is one important skill that we all possess but rarely use to its fullest. This glorious mental skill is called “Attention” – our ability to select what information from this universe we want to process. Everything we do depends on it. Paying attention is not difficult at all but it is often out of our awareness. Your presence of mind, observation, concentration, memory, problem-solving, decision-making, etc., depends on our attention. Pay attention to information coming in from all our 7+ senses, pay attention to what is happening inside your mind, pay attention to your environment, notice what makes sense and what doesn’t, and pull information from your memory to focus on. Combine all of these and you will learn the art of paying attention and become an excellent observer. Once you learn that, you will be smarter than before. Your attention is key. This is what it means to be truly Mindful. Apart from the mental health benefits of mindfulness, it can supercharge your brain.
