My mind is always racing with thoughts. What should I do?

Let ir race. Think of it as a plus point. If it hinders your day to day life then meditation might help. Also try to keep yourself busy with some activities not realted to other people and including only you. Try to practice some control over your brain and try to work with it instead of working against it

Try some breathing exercises. They always help. Focus on your breathing, and try to breathe more slowly.

You can´t not think, but what I would do is try some relaxing exercises or maybe just do something i enjoy.

Having your mind feel like it's racing can feel uncomfortable ...and even scary....but there are some things you can do to slow that down and feel like you're in better control of them. Would you like to hear a few ways to help that when it happens?

Always remember that our mind can be a terrible master and a very obedient servant, it depends on how strong we keep our will power and have our mind under our control and not the other way round. Since ancient times man has tried to gain control over his mind and the result we have is meditation and mindfulness. The 7 cups self help guide is a great tool to start with mindfulness and meditation practice which would surely help in calming our racing thoughts. :)

What you have to do first is to keep calm and try to focus on what you're currently doing at the moment. Deep breaths would help.

Try to find some healthy distractions and if that doesn't help you can try meditation and mindful exercises.

Start by breathing slowly into your stomach. Then breathe out just as slowly. Do that 10-20 times. That will help you feel more calm. Grab a journal/notebook/piece of paper and start writing. It doesn't matter what you right, just let out whatever's going on in your head. You don't have to show it to anyone or even read it yourself, the point of writing is to help your head relax and slow down.

Well, they always say that you should distract yourself. Find something that will derive you from your deep thoughts. But remember, distracting is not permanent. I think it's just a way for us to cope uo with it. I think it would be better if we just let it happen. Perhaps, embrace these thoughts? Write it out. Paint it. Sing it. Dance it. Nurture it until you realized you just made a garden.

Take 10-20 minutes to write down all the thoughts that occur to you on a piece of paper. Knowing that the thoughts are mostly recorded, and can be revisited, can help put your mind at ease.

Write them down on a piece of notebook paper and then shred it to give your brain closure. This symbolizes to your unconsious mind that you don't want to think about it anymore.

Be mindful of these thoughts, don't just let them brush past without acknowledging them. It's okay to have a mind full of thoughts, but recognising what these thoughts are and potentially why you having them may be the first step. Write these thoughts down on a piece of paper, talk these thoughts through with a friend of family member - or even a professional if you are able to access this help. Finding correlations between the thoughts and recognising that these thoughts are there and that it's okay to have them is important.

Try writing your thoughts down. You need to manage the thoughts, and if they are negative, try to replace them with positive thoughts. Take a deep breath and calm down. You may be stressed out, and racing thoughts can only make it worse. Try focusing on the present, not the future. Think about other outcomes. Usually racing thoughts end in the worst outcome. Tell yourself that you can get through it. It'll all be okay soon. Try distracting yourself in a positive way. Maybe draw or improve a skill. Go for a run. Or even exercise a little bit.

You should try relaxing exercises to let your mind stop racing,you can find some online by google them

Try not to panic so easily. Have faith in yourself to know that you have the power to calm yourself down and to understand why you're feeling this way.

Thinking is good. But make sure that the thoughts are positive in your mind. It will help both your self- development and abilities.

Try to place those thoughts to mental piles, like good and bad. That way you could manage one side and make sure you're good thoughts always have your mind racing with them all day!

It is in the nature of human beings. Just you try to find a good way to relax yourself and practice some mental activities such meditation, yoga, pray....This will change the way of your thinking and ultimately your whole life

If your mind is racing with thoughts, and seems like it will never stop thinking, first take some deep breaths. For me, my thoughts go crazy every night I try to sleep. Sometimes I drink some water, other times I go for a walk, or I message a friend and rant. Any of those things are good distractions. You could also put headphones in and listen to music. Any possible distraction would be great.

Let those thoughts be free, let ideas free. Don't hold them back, let go and just think. It is very easy

Anxiety is not something you are born with. It is something that develops in life as things occur in your life.

I have found that taking time out of one's day to release one's mind of all thoughts through activities such as meditation or exercise helps a person to clear one's mind. Alternatively, keeping oneself busy can help the mind focus on the activity at hand instead of whatever is flowing through one's mind.

This is my general protocol, maybe it will help you out. :) First thing first - Don't beat yourself up for thinking a bunch. You're probably upset about some part of it, and your brain is trying to help - even if it's not really helping right now. Breathe. Gather your strength. Do whatever relaxation methods you've found most helpful. If you have trouble relaxing, try and find some time to practice. Distraction has it's place, but remember, distraction isn't going to help you cope long-term. Write down all the thoughts - just a short sentence for each one. Then look at them. What's in the past? What's in the future? Are some of these simply judgements about yourself and others? Try and identify what the *now* problems are, what you *can* actually do about them. Still stuck ?Schedule some time to think about things more deeply, for a set amount of time when you're more rested and capable of dealing with things. Get some exercise, even just stretch, have a shower, connect with somebody who has time to listen. 7cups is a good place for that. :)

Breath in for 4 seconds, then hold your breath for five seconds, then breath out for 7 seconds and repeat at least 10 times. You relax your breath this way and you'll be so busy thinking about breathing that your mind calms down as well. Works for me everytime!

Think of a song that you like that is pretty upbeat. Sing it out loud or in your head to help you focus on the lyrics of the song instead of the thoughts that are racing in your mind. In my experience it helps to sing aloud because then your mind has a more difficult time wandering than if you think the lyrics to yourself.

Sit down and take some deep breaths. Or you could distract yourself by listening to music or watching tv or talking to a friend or family member. Or you could reason with yourself and tell yourself how much happier you would be if you didn't have those racing thoughts. Then you will be less inclined to keep them racing. If that doesn't help, then you need to see a therapist and they will get you in the right direction.

just relax. clear your mind, think about happy times or go to a happy place, don't stress at all!!!

Try to sort through them calmly if this does't help contact ahead doctor or specialist in Philosiphy/therapy

Try writing all these thoughts down on paper and come up with solutions. You will find some of them don't really matter. Also try taking some time to do peaceful activities in. Listen to music, take a walk, meditate

It's common to feel overwhelmed and not able to channel all the thoughts that go though your mind. Sometimes we go through a lot of stress and our brain cannot handle all the information. That's when it signals us we need to take a deep breath and slow down. Relaxation and meditation exercises are a great source to wind down, breathe out all the negative energy and channel all these thoughts. What's important for me right now? What are my priorities and what do I need to focus on in the short and in the long term? Coming up with a plan how to handle what's ahead of us provides with a structure and stability that we have all it takes to handle it. It's ok make a break: your body and mind need it regularly to be able to bring you further on your path. Give yourself some credit! You work so hard and recharging your batteries is all you need! :)
