How do you clear your mind so you can fall asleep?
I always have so many thoughts and emotions swirling around my head, I don’t know how to turn them off.

I interrupt my own thoughts constantly, like not allowing myself to think about the whole scenario or sentence.
When they keep coming, I give myself a simple assignment like: ‘only think about this white cube’ and refer all of your ongoing thoughts back to the assignment, and focus on the rhythm of your breathing while envisioning it.
When I really can’t do it, I watch an episode of a series for 5 minutes and then try again.
When it’s about something practical, take your agenda and put a reminder in it for tomorrow so it can leave your mind then.
