Take a break from all the noise and focus on one thing
- Designate a time in the day to use your phone or tablet
- Take a break from all screens and look outside
- Shut off your computer for an hour, don’t worry about work. You can do that later.
- Listen to some music: try classical, instrumental jazz, or any world music if you’re into it!
Let the sounds fill up your mind with something other than those worrisome thoughts. If there’s no music playing right now on whatever device you have nearby, then turned on some tunes at home before leaving the house, so they’ll be waiting when you get back.
Get outside for some fresh air and exercise.
To refresh or to empty your mind, try going outside. You’ll get some fresh air, and the exercise can help you feel better about yourself and your life in general.
You may find that having a specific place to go is helpful as well; you might want to walk around the block or go for a jog if you know those things are relaxing activities for you.
If you have pets, then include them! Get out there with Fido on his leash and let him smell all of the amazing new smells he’s never smelled before while walking around town – it will be great mental relief for both of you.

Spend time with loved ones or even pets to relieve stress

If all else fails, make plans for what you will do tomorrow night so that you have something exciting on the horizon to look forward to!
Find hobbies like gardening, cooking, painting, or reading to keep your mind occupied.
Hobbies like gardening, cooking, painting, or reading can be a great way to keep your mind occupied. For example, you could start gardening in the morning and spend time outside while doing something productive for both of those things!
To empty your mind may take some preparation on your part as well. It is important to make sure that there are no distractions like phones or people around distracting you from focusing solely on what you’re trying to get done. How often will work interruptions happen? What other commitments are keeping you busy this week? This information will help determine how much time we need to devote each day to empty our minds.
Try out new things like yoga, pilates, rock climbing – anything that brings you joy!

Get more sleep by going to bed earlier and avoiding caffeine after 2 pm.
Sound sleep is essential for your mental health. Most people need at least eight hours of sleep each night for good physical and mental functioning, but some may require as many as nine or ten hours. Poor quality of sleep can lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, impaired memory and attention span, weight gain, or obesity – all of which are risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s disease.
By going to bed earlier, you’ll have more time with your thoughts before they dissipate into dreams in a natural way and without interruption from other stimuli like television or work emails on your phone.
Avoiding caffeine after two pm will not only help keep you asleep longer; it also reduces the frequency by which one is likely to wake up throughout the night.
Practice yoga or another form of exercise that you enjoy
Yoga or other forms of exercise can help you empty your mind and de-stress. Yoga is a great way to clear your head because it centers on breathing, distracting you from negative thoughts. This also prompts the release of chemicals in the brain that make us feel good, like endorphins or serotonin.
The meditation practice below is an example of one form of exercise for emptying your mind:
- Find somewhere comfortable where there are no distractions (e.g., silence).
- Sit up straight with both feet flat on the ground while holding hands with thumbs touching each other in front of chest or navel.
- Tense all muscles, then relax them completely; this should take about five seconds per muscle group.
- Inhale deeply through the nose.
Write down all the things bothering you, so they don’t occupy space in your mind anymore.
All the things that are bothering you will be written down so they can occupy space somewhere else. It doesn’t matter what bother you are; just write them all down and then move on with your day.
- Write down how much time is spent worrying about these issues (or even if there’s a specific amount of minutes)
- List out any possible solutions for each thing bothering or troubling you
- Get advice from someone who has been in similar positions as yourself before
It might sound like this process takes up more time than it saves but trusts me – once the list is complete, empty your mind immediately afterward! That feeling when everything feels lighter after being released into an external vessel will last longer than any momentary relief.
Set a timer for ten minutes
Set a timer for a certain amount of time. Often, intentionally distracting oneself for a set period will help empty the mind and refocus attention on what matters most in life.
For example: Set a timer for ten minutes, close your eyes, take some deep breaths to lower heart rate while focusing on the rhythm of your breathing and listen to any calming music or sounds that you enjoy until it’s time to get up again from sitting still.
Get rid of any distractions in your environment, e.g., turn off the TV, close all browser tabs.
Get rid of any distractions in your environment – turn off the TV, close all browser tabs. Begin to focus on one thing at a time. Start with any tasks that you can accomplish in five minutes or less for starters and work up from there. For example, if you are sitting down to watch some YouTube videos before bed, set the alarm for fifteen minutes so that when it goes off, you will feel accomplished instead of anxious about how much more is left to do before going to sleep. Focus on breathing deeply as well – this also helps empty your mind.
Do not think too far ahead into what needs to be done, but only fixate on the next task at hand and move forward while thinking positive thoughts about yourself.
Take deep breaths with long exhales to calm down and lower blood pressure levels.
According to a study from National Taiwan University in Taipei, take deep breaths with long exhales to calm down and reduce stress on the heart by lowering high sodium intake. The journal Hypertension notes that breathing exercises have been shown to treat anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or social phobia.
Taking deep breaths activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which stimulates good feelings like relaxation while slowing down our heartbeat, so it’s not beating too fast; this is why taking slow, steady can be calming during stressful situations.
Accept what you cannot change.
You should accept what you cannot change. You spend an awful lot of time trying to control situations that are out of your hands, and when you can’t, it brings you down. The truth is there’s a world bigger than yours, so accept what comes and don’t try to be in charge of everything because the more things we worry about, the less happy we’ll become.
Some people have trouble coming up with solutions for their problems, but they’re not problems at all; they’ve been living life wrong this whole time! There are ways to answer if you stop looking inside yourself and start looking outside instead – into nature or other human beings. Questions always have been answered no matter how difficult one might seem (because some questions will take longer than others).
