When my mind starts to race, I try to divert my attention. I take a nap or play with my two dogs. Watching a feel-good movie can also be beneficial. However, how we deal with overthinking varies from one person to another.

When my mind starts to race like that, I always find a place to lay and sleep. It really helps my mind to calm down when I sleep. As far as I am active, that worry would still plague my mind. Sleep is my remedy for a troubled mind.

For me, listening to music tends to help me, or going for walk when my mind starts racing.

If not, i'll take a nap and an anxiety medication to help me feel better.
