How do I calm down when my brain won’t shut up? ●
Try to think of it this way...
if your brain is trying to give you a message, what is it trying to tell you?
Sometimes, and quite often, the thoughts, songs, and flashes of memory in your mind are messages from your subconscious.
So instead of seeing this as a bad thing, try shifting your perspective.
If this is your brain’s way of helping you, what’s the message it’s trying to convey?
Try listening to the chatter without pushing it away.
And when you finally hear the messages- come up with action steps to fix it.
For example:
Maybe you'll realize you're worried about an upcoming trip because you're uncomfortable in new environments.
So, you take steps to improve the feeling:
You might be surprised by what you learn and how quickly your mind relaxes once it feels heard.
And remember, peace doesn’t come from silence... it comes from understanding and creating a resolution.
