@LadyGrace yeah youre right. just wish I could stop thinking for a min

You notice I never said exercise. Ha ha ha ha I really hate exercising. Going for a walk? That’s different. I like that. It just seems better. Ha ha but I have a good remedy for stinking thinking. lol I’ve used it myself. When my mind wants to start thinking crazy negative things, or things that are not good for me, I stop right there and say actually say out loud, if there is no one else there, Stop it! This is neither here nor there. Neither good, nor bad. It just is a thought and it cannot hurt me. It means nothing. Then I let it go. Try it. It really works!

SW is actually really good. Keeps my mind occupied.

Otherwise, video games. Some of them are good; others aren't. Fast paced ones like first person competitive shooters. No time to relax. Civ 3 is good; soooo much to do. Skyrim, to a lesser extent.

Exercise is also a good one. Nothing but pain to focus on and pushing hard. Then the following endorphins and exhaustion make distraction unnecessary.

Do physical activity to let your body get over your mind.
