Try writing in a journal. You can do it before bed or any time during the day. It can be on paper, on your computer, an app on your phone, or whatever is convenient and private for you. When writing, just let your ideas flow out whatever they may be. It seems so simple and bland but trust me it can be very therapeutic. It's not a distraction like those other things you mentioned, but rather an outlet for you to collect thoughts and release tension. When thoughts are spinning in your head, they tend to linger and repeat unfinished. But when you set yourself to write them down, you engage a different part of your brain that finds continuity and progression in the thoughts. After writing, it still might not make any sense but the process of writing makes new connections and untangles the repetitive loops. |
