How To Relax The Mind From Overthinking
Do you want to relax the mind from overthinking? Would you really need to calm down? Training your mind to relax will help you feel refreshed at all times. Once you have identified the methods best suited to you, practice them frequently. In a short time, you will be able to relax easily and quickly, using some of the ideas proposed in this article.
Although the idea may seem like a cliche, breathing exercises act wonderfully on the relaxation of the mind. Practice daily and in times of intense stress to help ease anxiety. Close your mouth and inhale deeply using your precious nose.
Try to give some time to this inhalation process and allow it to last for four seconds. Hold the breath for seven seconds, then exhale for a time of eight seconds. Repeat the exercise four times.
If you have difficulty slowing your breathing to such a degree, start at a faster pace and gradually reduce it with practice.
Feel free to change the duration of each inhalation and exhalation, but make sure the exhalation lasts twice the inspiration. Take a break between breaths.
This will help you clear your mind by focusing on a specific thought, place, color, word or object, or simply by focusing on your breathing. To meditate, sit in a comfortable position and think (or pray) for something specific. It may take over ten minutes to clear your mind completely, do not worry, it's normal. Here are some tips on how you gonna do it:
Meditation has been shown to have beneficial health effects as well as the ability to relax the mind, for example by lowering blood pressure and reducing cholesterol and high blood sugar levels.
As in guided imagery, where you imagine a peaceful place during meditation practice, visualize the scenario in your mind for the desired time, but focus all your thoughts and energies on visualizing your place where your peace of mind resides.
In this process, you will have to stretch and then relax the muscles of your body. Relaxing your muscles after tensioning them alters your mental state, and helps your mind to achieve the same state of relaxation in the body.
Start stretching the muscles of your face, one after the other. Forehead, eyebrows, and the jaws. Then allow each muscle to completely relax.
When you have finished with your face, move your body downward, until you perform the process with each of your muscles.
Keep each of the muscles in tension for 5 to 10 seconds before relaxing, to get the most benefit from exercise. Stretching is a wide topic that can't be covered in this post. But I promise that soon, you will see a post on the stretching of muscles.

1. Perform Deep Breathing Exercises

2. Practice Meditation or Happy Meditative Prayer
- During meditation you can also decide to lie down; keep your eyes closed, it will help you focus mentally and spiritually.
- It is normal for restless thoughts to be introduced into your meditative practice. Do what you can to ignore them, focusing voluntarily on a specific topic. Address your thoughts of gratitude or your prayers to a subject of your choice.
- Use guided imagery to help clear your mind. Imagine a place, real or fictitious, in which you can feel in peace and without tension. Focus and visualize being in that place, focusing on details about the environment and your feelings.
- Meditate for the desired time, but rest for at least ten minutes after being able to free your mind.
- Listen to music or relaxing sounds or songs that contain positive messages (such as "I just feel like something good is on its way ..."), such things will help you to focus better during your meditation. Do everything with ease to feel better.
