Does anyone know or have any tips on how to quiet ones mind?

My mind is always racing, it just never stops and thinking so much about virtually everything is just so exhausting.

Can be with normal things or along the lines of things that are produced from my anxiety or depression.

I think way too much and wanted to know if anyone had any ideas/tips on how to maybe lessen that or make it more manageable.

Thanks :)

Hi, the only thing I have found that helps is meditation . I go to a class once a week and have some quiet time at home when I can, it takes time and practice but I find I works for me, take care X

Take yourself away to a quiet place and read a book. Let someone else's imagination take over yours.

I am sorry your mind is racing all the time. I have struggled with that in the past. I have found listening to relaxing and inspiring music, mediation, and prayer helps me. I try to sit outside and listen and take myself away from all the thinks are contributing to my mind not shutting off. I like this article, even thought it is for helping calm our minds at bedtime. I think it has some great advice on stopping our thoughts for a while. bit.ly/2IMagX9 This author also has another article on controlling our thoughts.

I tried meditation but there is too much chatter in my head. I do the opposite, I try to keep busy while getting lost in music. Having said that, there are a lot of guided meditations on you tube and there are free phone apps.

If you find something that helps you, share it here. 😊

Love your username btw..

Thank you everyone for all the ideas, I'll be sure to give them all a go and see what works.

Wish you all the best, and thank you all again! :)
