How Not to Think So Much

One thing about myself is that I think an awful lot. In fact often times it will keep me from getting around to doing things. I have decided that it is time that I either figure out a away to think less so that I can get more done. Or figure out somekind of happy medium between the two. One thing that I have been doing is asking questions here on mylot that I have inside my head. As well I am also listening to music in the background so as to keep my thoughts in focus and slow them down enough that I can write them down in time. What I would like to know is "What has worked for you?".

hai oh i know i can't prevent this specially when you can't find an exact solution to that problem,I can be calm but I can't do to think too much sometimes if i can feel that it is helpless, even I have to closed my eyes then try to sleep and pretend I'm ok it's not working, even I have to sing or listen to a music, even I have to scream to voice out what I feel inside, I can only breath and not think too much if it was solve then,,, I should PRAY and PRAY so that GOD will give me enough strength to carry on.. Have a nice day

The only way I could slow down my non stop thinking thought after thought was through meditation. It's the only tool it really had an effect and made me realize what's important to foccus on or not.

I know how you feel. Whenever something is bothering me (even the little things), I find myself to be thinking deep about it to the point of not really doing anything productive in the end. I guess we just need to lighten up! I keep on talking to myself, thinking about the issue and stuff and it just wear me off! That's why these days, I always make sure that I avoid stress. I no longer want to think about anything too much so I avoid people who give me things to think about. I try to keep myself focused by just doing a lot of things at the same time - multitasking. Then I also try to make myself super tired just before going to sleep, to make sure that I could no longer think because I'm done for the day! hahahaha.. Remember, the idle mind is the devil's workplace. If you are idle, tendency is that you'd think about things a lot. So keep yourself busy and productive! Have a great MyLot experience ahead!
