Wandering Mind

This article tries to help us understand what we lose when we are not concentrating on whatever we are doing. Many students have spent years allowing their minds to wander because they have never applied principles of discipline to their thought life.
Quite often people who cannot seem to concentrate, think they are mentally deficient. However, an inability to concentrate can be the result of years letting the mind to do whatever it wants to do, whenever it wants to do it. A lack of concentration can also be a symptom of vitamin deficiency.
Certain B vitamins enhance concentration, therefore, if you have an inability to concentrate, ask yourself if you are eating right and are nutritionally sound.

Extreme fatigue can also affect concentration. I have found that when I am excessively tired, I will find it difficult to comprehend whatever I am reading.

So many students had difficulty concentrating during their reading period. Reading was difficult for them because concentration and comprehension go hand in hand.

They don’t comprehend what they read. Their eyes scan the words on the page, but their mind do not really understand what is being read.

Often a lack of comprehension is the result of lack of concentration. I know that, for myself, I can read a chapter in the Bible or a book and all. I can go back and read it again, and it all seems new to me because, even though my eyes were scanning the words on the page, my mind had wandered off somewhere else. Because I did not stay focused on what I was doing, I failed to comprehend what I was reading.

Often the real behind lack of comprehension is a lack of attention caused by a wandering mind.
