How to Find the Peace You Need to Focus On Your Programming
A process I follow to wind down myself and boost my focus.
Just because you love coding doesn't mean you can do it all day without taking a break. Even if your favorite pastime is programming, the time will come when your brain needs to rest and recharge.
If you're like most people, then at some point during the day, you'll find that concentration has evaporated and that your mind is wandering away from what was on your screen just moments before.
It is not only frustrating but also dangerous for those who are working with code that could be highly sensitive or confusing.
If this sounds like something that happens to you often, there's no need to worry — Meditation can help you solve all these problems!
What Is Meditation, and How Can It Help You in Your Programming Work
Meditation is the practice of turning your attention to a specific point of focus.
It can be anything from your breath to a mantra or a particular image. You're not supposed to think about anything else except for that focal point when you're meditating.
