It is simple: you never did it before!

Do you ever remember in your life spending 5 minutes doing circles or diagonals with your eyes?

These are simply not practices you are usually used to.

You don't train these in schools or at the gym and your perents never mentioned it to you.

Brushing your teeth is natural because you have conditioned yourself to do it.

If you don't brush your teeth, you feel like you miss it.

After around 3 months or eye training practice, it becomes, natural and grounded in you.

It becomes as easy as washing your face or doind a few stretches.

But because of lack of experience, and practice in that field, it will take at least some focus and discipline to ge used to these exercises in the beginning.

Count 3 months to integrate and fully master the techniques.

Think long term!

What is a training rhythm that you can maintain on the long term without major effort?

Here is what I think works best:

• 2 sets of 100 repetitions for eye movement exercises

(For instance up/down - right/left - circleleft/circleright - etc)

This takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete and does not require a major time block. You can do that while waiting for your computer to log something or when you have a lunch break at the park or just when taking some fresh air in the evining in your garden.

In my experience setting up a routine to eprfrom these 5 minutes daily is relatively easy.

You need to focus and persevere for the first week and after that it becomes more automatic and requires less will power to keep on doing it.

Start with these 5 minutes once a day and be firm with this discipline.

We will see later if that rhythm needs to be stretched + other challenges you might face with this.

If you don't give it to them, they get tired and this negatively impacts the quality of your vision.

Activities that put lots of strain on the eyes include:

• Overuse of computer screen (more than 8 hours/day - Day + evening)
• Stress levels too high - tired - overworked
• Reading without appropriate lighting
• Etc.

You need to change your behaviors to give time for your eyes to relax.

If you spend 16 hours a day in activities which ask a very high level of eye concentration, tensions naturally build up.

There are two ways to measure your progress;

The first one is a real measure of the quality of your view.

The simplest way is to write a text on a page with characters of 1 to 2 centimeters big.

You stick that page on a wall.

You put some marks on the ground at regular distances, for instance every 50 centimeters.

You can as well use natural maks on the floor like a pattern on the carpet, tiles on the kitchen floor, etc.

Now you try to read the text from a specific mark.

If you get used to the text, write another one.

Etc.

This is probably the simplest most effective way to measure how you are doing.

It is like stepping on a scale which gives you an approximate measure of the quality of your vision.

The second strategy is purely intuitive. You simply try to focus on objects and writings in the distance and estimate if you can see them or not.

This is more of an intuitive feeling. It's less precsise and you might interpret your results subjectively in a postive or negative way.

works great though as a genenral idea or impression of your vision's quality

Shift youre exercises, rhytms, intensity, moment of the day, etc.

That way, you mind stay awake and focused.

variation is the key to stay excited and interested by eye training.

Labels: eye training, strategies

it odes not matter if your repeat the excercise 5, 10 or 20 times.

It does not matter if you do it right-left or left-right.

All these technicalities are simply vague guidelines to give you an idea of how to do it.

The real results happen because you exercise your eyes and energize them in one way or another.

There is no exact/right way to do it. Just do it the way you feel or the way it comes. As long as you do exercise a bit, results do come!

Remember to focus on fun, variation!

Your mind tends to get bored if forms are too fixed.

This is a fact that is usually underestimated.

The real change when you train either your eyes or your body happens not only physically but on the mind and energy level as well.

This means that your being readapts itself to a new more healthy and energized state.

Change requires focus and energy and sometimes, your body/energy/mind tedn to resist change because you have little energy to invest in that process.

The goal is to take small steps which are fun, light and freeing and expand from there.

Think long term.

What is a training rhythm that you can easily maintain on the long term without major effort.

Labels: eye training, strategies

It is precisely to find a rhythm which is suitable and non demanding.

the techniques are easy but to get results, you need to focus a bit on them and practice them.

Don't use your will power alone.

Don't force yourself.

Go with your own flow.

Be flexible with time.

Start with very small steps
