Will I ever be able to shut off all of the things going on in my head?

once you get over the stressful thinking and realize it isnt worth thinking about and live your life to the fullest i think you will be able to shut it off. one thing i like to do when i have to much going on in my head is write down everything that is going on in my head and then burn that piece of paper and watch all the ashes float away. it takes alot off my mind.

It is only natural for thoughts to float around are head, this is our way of addressing things that worry us. However there are ways to get these thoughts out; this could be by writing a letter to someone which you don't send, writing a poem, a blog post, writing in a diary, or even listening to music can help.

Deep inside you know the answer, you just don't know when. It's vital to talk about it with people close to you and try new strategies. Doing the same things and expecting different results, unfortunatly, doesn't work :(. Hope you can feel better soon!! x

No, it's a humanly thing that always happens. We will never be able to shut the stuff off in our head. It is a thing we have to live with forever, in my opinion.

Probably not, but I've always found that distraction is really the best technique to not pay attention to what is going on inside your head for a while. Whether it's getting lost in a good book, TV show, movie etc, putting on some upbeat music and singing/dancing the bad thoughts away, going for a walk and really focusing on everything around you, calling up a loved one and having a long talk... There are always so many ways to attempt to distract yourself, you just have to know what works best for you!

theres always some ways, listen to music, go to alone places. thats always help. you just have to distract your mind with something.

You will you just have to be able to look past all the bad things and focus on the positive things that are going on in your life.

No, but you can learn how to get a better control of things whenever you're maybe feeling overwhelmed by things in your life.

Yes. It is difficult, but from my experience it is achievable. Try to focus on the positives in life

If you occupy your mind with something else you find very interesting then yes usually you can :) hope I helped

It is possible but it takes time and practice to silence the voices and worries in your head. Meditation and taking moments of silence to yourself is a start to clearing the mind.

You can, trust me we all can. We just need to develop filters in our mind for each and every thought. We need to realize what is important and what is not. We need to realize what we deserve. Worrying and over thinking won't do any good and won't make things better. If you think things are out of your control then what is the use of thinking about them otherwise if you think you can try and find a solution and i believe there is a solution to everything so just stop worrying about them and instead work to try and find a solution. Cheers :)

you will in time trust me. you need to come to terms that what you tell yourself isnt true. if your relay struggling you could try seeing a trained specialist.

Only you can do that... make a list of all the things running around in your head - writing them down helps and will give you something tangible to. work from

Probably not. But you can learn to "tame" them, making your thinking more organized and less irritating for you and others. You can also learn to appreciate these things. Thoughts are like little kids screaming for attention. Give each one as much of it as they deserve and raise them to respect each other.

Never, My mind will always look for dangers for me and itself and sometimes overreach. I can only observe and love it for it is its nature. I could fight and try to silence it, maybe even overpower it with sensations and distractions. But a way of violence will only generate stronger response.

As long as you are alive, yeeeah probably not. But there is a much better way of looking at it. Think of all the good things that have happened to you even if the situation you are in right now seems hopeless. If it was good before, it will be better again.

No, but you can learn to distract yourself and try to focus on positive thoughts. A lot of being anxious has to do with thinking too much. It's actually often a sign of intelligence too.

No I dont believe that you can shut off all the things in your head, Not should you want to, youd end up in a zombie like state, But it can get better and get one thought at a time so it doesnt get overwhelming, that bad thoughts yes, they can be quieted down and gotten rid of by working on learning to quiet them down and replace them with good ones :)

Of course! It just takes time. Meditation is a great way to help. We have things like that here on 7 cups
