For some people, the habit of thinking poisons their lives. Even on travel, instead of simply plunging into new experiences, these unfortunate people analyze situations and plan their lives after the vacation. But even they can relax and stop the running of thoughts.
Instructions
Step 1
Engage in manual labor. One wise man said: "The best form of recreation is a change of activity." If you are constantly engaged in intellectual work, then muscle work will be the best way for you to rest and relax. It is advisable that the work is hard (to clean the snow, dig a hole, wash the floor in a large room, etc.), in this case the maximum efficiency will be achieved, because you will have no time or energy left for your normal thought process. All energy will be directed towards the speedy completion of the unusual business.
Physical labor sets the brain on a different wave, so even after you finish the job, the head will be pleasantly free for at least half an hour or an hour.
Step 2
Engage in mechanical work (cleaning or picking mushrooms, sorting out cereals, weaving with beads, etc.) A similar effect is achieved. which occurs after hard physical labor. It takes concentration and time, while the brain rests.
The only negative: as soon as you finish the work, thoughts will immediately come to mind.
Step 3
Use mental images. Imagine that you are sitting in an aquarium, surrounded by water. As soon as a thought appears in your head, imagine that it is enveloped in a bubble of air and rushes upward. The next thought is the next bubble. And so on until there are no thoughts in my head.
Nothing prevents you from choosing a different mental image. Maybe it will be a blackboard on which every new thought is written, and immediately a rag comes into play and erases the inscription. Maybe a piece of paper and an eraser. You can come up with your own version. Remember only that for all such exercises there are two mandatory points: the muscles of the body must be relaxed; you shouldn't focus on coming up with details of the aquarium / board / rag, etc.
