To ask how to shut out all the noise in your head?

[eightyseven]

I feel my head is going at 100 miles an hour with a gazillion thoughts. I want it to be quiet and calm in there. I'm anxious and on edge and want to know how I can relax and be calm.

What can I do to help me? I thought mindfulness was my answer but just not finding its making any difference at all.

I was just thinking this exact thing this morning .. how can I calm all the noise going on in there!! Following this thread :)

Reading a real book. Or doing difficult calculations at work.

Exercise, reading, using the sewing machine, rummaging in shops, being outdoors, gardening. And yes put the phone away and come off of social media/restrict time on it

Ponies.

I do not advise this unless you are mad. :D
