concentrate on
Fix attention upon
To concentrate on something is to focus attention or effort on it, directing mental energy toward a particular task or subject while excluding distractions: I need to concentrate on finishing this report.
The phrase implies sustained, deliberate focus rather than casual attention.
You might concentrate on your breathing during meditation, or concentrate on the road while driving in bad weather.
