How to Generate Alpha Waves and Create an Alpha State
We spend most of our waking hours in what is called beta state. This is when we are thinking about dozens of things at one time. However, to be efficient we need to focus on one thing. In order to focus on one thing, we need to get into alpha state, or what some call the “in the flow” state.
To get in alpha state:
- Sit up
- Take a deep breath
- Close your eyes
- Think of a peaceful place
- Roll your eyes up and down
- Open your eyes
Once you have gotten into alpha state a few times, you can do it very quickly. Sometimes simply sitting up and pausing to take a deep breath will work.
Then you can go back at your task in a more focused state.
The trick is to stop when you feel your mind wandering. Instead of saying to yourself, “I am terrible at focusing” or “I will never complete this” or other negative statements, just completely stop what you are doing, pause for a moment, take a deep breath and start again. Put yourself into alpha state whenever you have to start a task or when you feel you are losing focus and getting distracted.
