Hypnosis. Hypnosis does a lot of things. but one thing it does help with is connecting your Conscious and Unconscious mind. Some of the Top Sports athletes use it to focus on their game (it is my belief that the top sports athletes naturally found a way to use hypnosis without them knowing it.)

Good nutrietious food,hit the gym,,jogging and good sleep to atleast 8 hours.Meeting new people.
smile and make others smile too.
brain food! like fish and other meaty foods. fish is specifically meant to help brain activity.. at least that is what I'm told
(P.S. try just cooking freshly caught fish for it to work "well". you know, like don't just go over to the store and buy frozen, fried shrimp lol)
Positive people have higher intelligence and can remember things more. Try to think positive thoughts, exercise your mind as well as your body, learn new things. It also helps to eat healthier foods, like fruit and vegetables and fish.
convert your mental stress out your focus. make sure ur intrest on it, give ur fullest involement in it, convert ur consentration into the goal of it. take a important hint of it . review it through ur hint. keep in touch with it periodicaly .be fresh always.
We can guess you will use this brain power. Problem solving and inventing are group things anymore. Single brain power loses to the well integrated group thinking. But nothing can figure out one group secret. Secrets can't be solved only shared. The ancient practice of secret social groups is way ahead of your request. Join a secret group and learn the second vocabulary and then you will see life differently.
Over the years, I have been working on ways to help ADHD naturally. This even before it was a fad. Even before Ritalin and other medications for ADHD were found as to be " not innocent". The reason I have been working on natural techniques for helping ADHD is for one it was a business. Yes, as a biofeedback therapist and not a physician, my job was to find ways that were behavioral or natural because that is what my clients wanted. Furthermore, I noticed that when I opened a private practice, adults and especially parents were more willing to bring their children for help than seek help themselves. So, I had no choice really- natural was in, and ADHD was what brought the parents to bring their children- that is succeeding in school. But then I had a small medical operation that was suppose to be " routine" because I developed a serious case of sinusitis. well, unfortunately, as they say- the operation succeeded, I was able to breathe better- but the patient got sick- me. To this day i do not know what went wrong, but I got really sick. Yet, that is not the story here- ADHD is. I had to try to help myself and ran into the book Spontaneous Healing by Andrew Weil. One of the most important books of the 1990's in my opinion. Because it translated all the alternative medicine treatments for the first time into words a layman could understand. Yet, one conclusion of Dr. Weil who studied cancer patients and how they survived- was that you have to be-friend your illness and thus I decided to turn a negative into a positive. This brought me into the world of natural remedies and techniques which I would then try some of them on ADHD and myself.
Well moving along- so what are the major things I have found help ADD ADHD? Here are 10 of the main ones I used, but there are many more.
1- Aromatic oils- mix three of you favorite smelling oils together. You will get a solution of the whole greater than the parts. Let your body tell you what you need. Most children with ADHD like the following oils: Grapefruit, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, bergamot, rose, mandarin, - adults like the popular lavender more than kids.
2. Seated yoga exercises like what is done on airplanes. These can be done before exams.
3. Animated biofeedback games. These help the ADD child receive a sensation of relaxation and concentration in a fun way through a game. also as the level of the game is more difficult requiring more concentration and relaxation- relaxed concentration, the child feels he is bettering himself and gains confidence. The feeling of relaxation to someone with ADD might be unique and might feel really good. Thus, the feeling of ADD is not a good feeling to someone with poor concentration as they might feel agitated or hyper.
4. A relaxed breathing technique. Some ADD children I have found to breathe over 20 breathes per minute. this is allot. You can learn to reduce your sitting breathing rate to 8-10 per minute. This is more efficient and relaxing. It will also help concentration in a sports event.
5. 100% natural nutrition. These are the 5 no- No's that can be easily reduced. Added salt, added fat, added chemicals, processed food, and aged un-fresh food.
6. Looking at a liquid or sand timer for 2 minutes -watch the bubbles-- gives a feeling of focus.
7. Listening to a sea shell- a feeling of auditory focus.
8. Smiling - get a troll doll.
9. affirmations. Saying 10 positive statements a day - it really works.
10. Accelerated learning techniques go a long way to make life for the ADHD student easier. Speed reading , associative memory techniques, mind mapping, brain storming for ideas.
Below are photos of the exercises I tried with about 300 ADD and test anxiety children and they work really well. Each child has to do what works for him / her. Like having it your own way. These are from the video Being In Control : Natural Solutions For ADHD Dyslexia and Test Anxiety.

Just watched a program that suggest 1 hour of puzzles every day for 2 months.
It is not what you eat--it's what you need to stay away from. All artificial sweeteners, all sugar and white flour bread and pasta, candy and excessive sweets are just a sample of what can dull the senses. You try a month of healthy eating and I'll bet your brain will be clear and bright. Now this stuff is just numbing you, get with the program.
