3 Things to Try Tonight If Your Mind Won’t Stop Racing

Write the thoughts down. Empty your head onto paper, no censoring. It tricks your brain into thinking the thoughts are “handled.”

Create a small ritual. Light a candle, sip tea, stretch. It signals to your body: “We’re winding down.”

Whisper to yourself like a friend. Instead of “Why can’t I sleep?” try “It’s okay, I’ll rest soon.” Your mind listens to the words you use.
