Here are some suggestions to switch your focus and attention. Learn to meditate and do it daily. Get aerobic exercise for 20-30 minutes daily 3-4 times weekly. Learn Tai Chi, or Yoga, and practice one or the other. Get proper sleep, about 8 hrs/ nite, avoid the white foods, such as white rice, potatoes, white bread, sugar. Consume more protein, good fats such as avocados, olive oil.
