I can't concentrate at work. I've already had too many write-ups, even a suspension due to making stupid mistakes because I can't seem to pay attention. My mind is constantly cluttered with too many thoughts. I try to "not think" and focus on my work, but it dosen't seem to be working.

What are some things I can do to help strengthen my concentration?

I've tried exercising, get enough sleep, and eating right, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Any suggestions?

Can you be more specific? If you can pinpoint on what it is, then maybe finding a solution will be easy for you to stop the distractions at your job.

Blender Brain.

Time and

Meditation helps.

You could try meditating, breathing excercizes, therapy, meds..

One thing that helped my concentration was. I downloaded these "relaxing sounds of nature" 9you can probably get them on any sharing site)

I would when i got home, do a few usual things, then instead of tv, and the usual clutter crap, i would lay in my bed, and listen to them in the dark..

sounds of ocean, rainforest, river, waterfall, whales,.. all different ones..

I found i wasnt as interested in work, because i wasnt taking control of my alone time, and doing something to nurture myself, and heal from the usual stresses.

I was refreshed after doin that before bed for a couple hours, and felt much uch better, and more focused. Matter of fact, I think im going to redownload them again. Good reminder!

what about stimulation?

my daughter takes hard sour candies to school with her for concentration, and she also uses little toys that stimulate the fingers. the funky, squishy-feeling weird ones.

they help her wake up so she can concentrate.

your physician might be able to help you...it does sound like ADHD issues (in the attention-deficit area).

also, maybe consider an occupational therapist.

I suck on mints at work all day, that dosen't seem to help. I'll try one of those squeeze things for stress, see if that helps any.
