The brain has two distinct hemispheres, each responsible for different things. The logical and linguistic left side does all the reasoning and logical thinking, processes speech, and controls the right side of your body. The creative right side controls your imagination, spatial awareness, creative ability, and the left side of your body. The two halves communicate via a thread of nerves called corpus callosum.
Just as we are right-or left-handed, we all have a dominate side. but it is possible to reinforce the communication between two sides of your brain. These exercise are based on the findings of neurophysiologist and educator Carla Hannaford, Ph.D ..and Brain Gym creator,, Paul Dennison (see www.braingym.com ). They encourage use of the whole body in the learning process for dramatic improvements in concentration memory, reading, writing, organizing, listening, and physical coordination.
Drink Water
Dehydration is one of the major causes of the poor concentration. You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day. and before beginning any physical or mental task, such as these exercise. Drinking water before a stressful situation is also very beneficial since we sweat when we are under pressure.
Pressure Points
This exercise increases oxygen supply to the brain by improving the blood flow to help concentration. Using your dominate hand, spread you thumb and index finger wide apart and press them gently into the hollow just under the collar bone, pulsing gently. Place your other hand over your stomach. Press on these points for two minutes.
Cross Crawl

Hook Ups
Extend your arms straight in from of you, cross your wrists, and clasp the fingers together. Keeping your fingers together, bend your elbows and bring your bands to your chest. Breathe evenly for a few moments. Cross you left ankle over your right leg and balance on your right foot. Then cross your right ankle over your left leg and balance on your left foot.
