Why will my brain never slow down?

The human brain is wired for learning, reviewing and other cognitive functions. It is prone to making up stories, replaying the past, overthinking the present and fretting about the future. Overthinking can make us miss out on what's right in front of us. Overthinking can make the brain run our lives if we aren't careful! With mindfulness, we can better control our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and reactions better. Mindfulness can ease anxiety, stress and combat overthinking; it can help us live with focus and intention. One of the most important functions of mindfulness is the focus on the present helping us fully live right now. 7 Cups offer great resources on mindfulness.

Racing thoughts or a brain that won't slow down is a symptom of anxiety. It is important you talk to someone about this and they can help you clear your brain and think easier. :)

you could just be stressed about things going on in your life, maybe try to wind down like relax with your best friends or take a relaxing shower

I have the same exact problem. Brains are meant to work through things, to devour information and create answers. You have to teach your brain to slow down and allow you to relax.

You could have too many things you are thinking about and you could be stressed out over things that cause you to worry too much

I deal with anxiety and I have ADHD so my brain is always very active. I accept it for how it is and try to channel that energy into something productive.

I see my brain as a computer, sometimes it goes into overdrive when I try to process to much information. Slow down.

Sometimes when you have things bothering you it's hard to switch off. Mindfulness helps to slow down and do so though. Also eating and drinking late at night (especially sugar and caffeine) won't help this feeling.

you may have an overactive mind. This can be caused by many things such as stress and not allowing yourself enough down time to enjoy yourself.

Anxiety can be a big reason for when your mind is all over the place. Anxiety is a natural human emotion, stemming from evolution, and we still carry it with us today. Anxiety becomes disordered when you find it making a large negative impact on your life, and if it is doing so, contact mental health proessional.
