My mind is always racing with thoughts. What should I do?

You can´t not think, but what I would do is try some relaxing exercises or maybe just do something i enjoy.

What you have to do first is to keep calm and try to focus on what you're currently doing at the moment. Deep breaths would help.

Try to find some healthy distractions and if that doesn't help you can try meditation and mindful exercises.

Always remember that our mind can be a terrible master and a very obedient servant, it depends on how strong we keep our will power and have our mind under our control and not the other way round. Since ancient times man has tried to gain control over his mind and the result we have is meditation and mindfulness. The 7 cups self help guide is a great tool to start with mindfulness and meditation practice which would surely help in calming our racing thoughts. :)

Having your mind feel like it's racing can feel uncomfortable ...and even scary....but there are some things you can do to slow that down and feel like you're in better control of them. Would you like to hear a few ways to help that when it happens?

Try some breathing exercises. They always help. Focus on your breathing, and try to breathe more slowly.

Let ir race. Think of it as a plus point. If it hinders your day to day life then meditation might help. Also try to keep yourself busy with some activities not realted to other people and including only you. Try to practice some control over your brain and try to work with it instead of working against it

I should panic until I can't breathe then be on the other hand and feel bombarded with strength hats.

What I ussually do,is to have some special phrase, sentence, paragraph or quote that makes me feel happy. Everytime my mind is like that, I say those words (mine is a little story) like a mantra. They usually calm me down. I hope it helps! :)

I would suggest yoga. I have been doing it for several weeks now in a class and in my dorm.It is a beautiful way to calm your thoughts and soul. You can learn from youtube videos.
