What is the best way to get out of your head?

Exercise is a great way to get out of your head, and it has the added benefit of being healthy in many other ways, too. It creates momentum, makes you more productive when not exercising, helps the sleep cycle, and helps to manage emotions.

Personally I feel that the best way to get out of your head is by learning a new skill or hobby.....

Sometimes getting out of your own head is a perfect way to relax and reflect. I do this by meditation. I find that focusing on my breathing and listening to calm music completely transcends me from reality!

Mindfulness techniques work well to take a step back from your own thoughts, you may try breathing exercises and self awareness techniques, a good technique to try is the 5 senses technique, just sit back and focus on all the 5 senses in your present moment, what can you smell, taste, see, touch and hear? everything that you have ever experienced in your life has been through one of these 5 senses and it is important for you to occasionally get back into touch with them.

Distract your busy mind. Look your surroundings and find beauty in them. Take deep breaths and try to distract your busy mind.

repeat or read these words as frequently as possible: '' my thoughts and feelings and inaccurate'' '' i do not have control over what i can't predict/change'' '' i am not my thoughts''

I find exercise is such a benefit and release...It clears the head, amazing endorphins and healthy. I also enjoy throwing myself into a project/hobby I like. Anything to where I am not thinking or having to much quiet time...when my mind races the most.

Distract yourself. Listen to music draw, play music, watch movies or just hang out with some of your friends

do anything that makes you even the tiniest bit happy. then keep doing this lots of times and if there is a friend who you always enjoy being around, arrange a time to meet up. keep doing the things that you enjoy. if everything fails, here are some of my favourite things to do when i feel like this: go on a walk and listen to some music, bath with lush bath bomb and playing tennis. hope this is useful!

All you have to do is start on something and the more you work on activity, generally, the more you will feel better.
