I think too much, what is a good way to get my mind off things?

Answer 1

Play a mental game

Its called DON'T think of a polar bear

if you try to hard to not think of it then you'll think of it

if you forget to not think of it you'll think of it anyway because polar bears rock!


this works with aunts flowers and potatoes as well.

Answer 2

Think of something else or do something that takes your mind off it. The one way to replace a behavior or thought is with an incompatible or other behavior or thought. Just stopping it does not work all the time. I would also recommend meditating or relaxation techniques on a regular basis as a way of training yourself to manage your thought processes.

Answer 3

I too think too much. Before answers, I would do crossword puzzles, the harder the better. It would totally abvsorb my mind. Reading does it for alot of people. Joining a gym is another way. Just think (forget I said thinK!) do something you would like to do! bettyk

Answer 4

If you feel that you think too much do something to keep you busy. Maybe something that requires a lot of concentration. That way you are thinking about what you're doing and not all that other stuff that is bothering you!

Answer 5

take a day for yourself shut off all your contact to the out side world and take up a good Hobie, sit @ home and listen to music or just go for a drive around town. or plan a weekend get away with some one that you love.

Answer 6

Go to a good movie, do something productive around the house, or maybe you just need to talk to someone you trust about what is bothering you.
