Many people are familiar with the situation when thousands of thoughts rush through their heads and there is no way to concentrate on the actual task. This state requires a lot of energy, which exacerbates the way out. Irrational thinking processes can be a source of stress.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't drive unnecessary or worried thoughts away from yourself. If you start to do this, then they will overpower you more, you will overextend your will and spend energy.
Step 2
Begin the process of tracking and counting thoughts. For example, now you are thinking about your boss, and now you are thinking about food. So what's the next thought? Be indifferent to the thoughts arising in the brain, do not turn on emotionally. Just keep track. Counting thoughts will save you from spinning them in a circle. Soon the number of internal dialogues will decrease.
Step 3
Relax. Eliminate tension in the muscles of the body. Strong stress is required for full relaxation. Do a gymnastic set of exercises, after which you can give the overworked muscles and mind peace. The effect of a light and light head after a good physical activity has long been known.
Step 4
Explore your mind. Develop thoughts on one topic, excluding all others. This will be a great advance in the development of thought control. The ordinary mind is busy with 4–5 types of thoughts at the same time - where to get money, about friends or children, about food or drink, the needs of the body, recollection of recent events.
Step 5
Slow down your breathing. Breathe diaphragmically, i.e. when inhaling, inflate your stomach, while exhaling, press it against your back. Exhale gradually longer than the inhalation. It has long been noticed that if an internal dialogue on various topics is conducted in a person's head, then his breathing quickens. When he focuses on one topic, breathing becomes slow and rare.
Step 6
Switch your thinking to positive thoughts. When negative thoughts come to mind, saturated with anger, fear, hatred, drive them away. They turn a person into a slave. The best decision you can make is to forget about those thoughts. Start thinking about something bright, interesting, and inspiring.
Step 7
Balance your mind. Lie in a chair, close your eyes. Consider that the simmering thoughts are due to anxiety and irritability that hides fear. Avoid unnecessary anxiety and worry. Be mindful and thoughtful.
Step 8
Remember that a balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle, good physical activity, and restful sleep contribute to mental balance.
