[LAW SCHOOL PHILIPPINES] Practicing Mindfulness to Improve Focus for Law School in the Philippines

  • Опубліковано 18 жов 2018
  • One of the biggest problems we have as law students in the Philippines is the sheer difficulty of focusing, especially when we are reading our long cases, the codal provisions and the confusing textbooks. Nariyan na ang magbabasa ka ng isang page, lulutang ang isip mo saglit, uulit ka ng parehong paragraph, at babalik ka na naman sa simula. Magbabasa ka, lulutang ang isip mo, at hindi mo namamalayan na six minutes ka na pala sa iisang paragraph.
    We are distracted because we lack focus. We lack focus because our attention is pulled away by distraction. Now let me help you reclaim your lost focus, your lost attention with the simple activity of mindfulness.

    This is so timely po. I've been having difficulties on staying focused during long hours of reading. My attention span is an issue, too. Law books are purely texts din kasi. Thanks, Sir Lex!

      Thank you for sharing, sis. The only reason I conquered the National Internal Revenue Code (to a certain extent) is by breaking it down into a table. The Corporation Code, I studied mostly by drawing buildings and arrows, showing their interactions with officers and stockholders. I know it takes a bit more time but it works for us who learn best using images.
      God bless you, sis. God bless you and your law school dreams. 😊❤️💯

      @LexInMotion  5 років тому +3

      Thank you, kapatid. Thank you for watching. Focus is easy for those of who don’t battle with anxiety. It’s almost usually the case that a law student has anxiety but simply chalks it off as worry, worry for school, worry for recitations or worry for work. I’ll be discussing more of this in a future episode.

      @@LexInMotion Damn, on point. I've been always hindered by anxiety, pero nabawasan ko na sila simula nung nagkatrabaho ako. Naging confident na ako sa ibang bagay eventually. Pero, nung nadagdagan ng pressure and anxiety dahil sa law school, naglalabasan ulit anxiety ko before. I.e. social anxiety, fear of the unknown, fear of being ridiculed, fear of making myself look stupid. I got to deal with this head on, I need to win.

      Thank you, sis. Thank you for being here. One of the biggest burdens we have in law school is the sheer number of things that demand our immediate attention.
      Mindfulness will help you deal with the moment, embrace the moment and act according to the moment.

      As a matter of policy, I keep my phone on airplane mode and hold all calls during the hours I need to engage in intense focus. The only reason for me to stand up is if I have to go to the restroom, like really have to go. Or if the MMDA calls for an earthquake drill yan lang.
      Hope this helps, kapatid. Thank a full minute to just breathe and acknowledge the work before you. God bless you and your law school dreams. 😊❤️🙏🏻

      Stretching to four hours of intense focus is a process, sis. I’d always like to think of it as a muscle. If you use it with intensity and use it with duration, you will eventually go from 25 minutes (pomodoro) to four hours (deep work). Mindfulness is my warm up.
      Be gentle with yourself when you fail. You’ll get better at it someday. 😊❤️💯
