How do you "turn off your mind" and stop thinking?
I do that... I don't think it's a weird question at all, my mind would be buzzing with what I have to do tomorrow before I go to sleep. It's annoying... Meditation is one form of 'switching off' Physical activities like exercising can take your minds off things, so make sure, even if you don't have the time, even if it's 15 mins - 30 mins a day, go for a walk, go for a run, i like any ball games... that woud help... I like drinking Camomile tea as well when I'm feeling restless. I remembered there was one time that i just couldn't fall asleep for 5 consecutive nights!! yeah! I was mentally exhausted, but somehow I just won't sleep... my friend recommended the tea, had it, slept like a baby... camomile has a calming and relaxing effect... i suppose it's better than relying on alcohol.?
How can one stop thinking about sex all the time?
The time you started analyzing yourself and undrstand that you're doing something wrong , from that moment you made yourself prepared to quit it. Don't worry old habbits never goes too fast. Just don't force extremely to quit in a day because you can't. These habbits take longer time to quit than to adopt.My friend you become addicted to it and whenever you in a need to see porn your dopamine act as it works in an alcoholic person. You feel like one porn is not much or you can't go for sleep if you don't see it. Just like an alcoholic person who thought one shot is not much.If you now made yourself to quit do these things: 1. Whenever you want to watch just avoid looking at your phone and pc and try to talk to your friends on something else or sit between your family or watch songs.2. Never think that one clip is not much because it won't let you out of it.3. Stop looking at random girls more often. Try to avoid who is passing by. That is not a girl who make you excited but its you who allowing your mind think about those thoughts.4. If you can't ignore girls try to figure out the worst things in that girl. Their rudeness, bad attitude, ignorance , arrogance etc.I think it will help you to get it over in months. if you still watch porn in weeks, that'll be acceptable but don't let your mind to repeat it again.
I cant stop thinking when i try to sleep???
Wow, you're getting a lot of feed-back on this one. I'll try and make mine short. I've had this problem since I can remember. Since yours just started recently, my advice may not be the most accurate, but try it. I used to just lay awake forever, but then I started to listen to music as I fall asleep. For me, it doesn't take like classical music or anything special, just music that I like. I just put on some music, and usually I wake up the next morning and can't even remember ever listening to the 7th or 8th song on whatever CD I was playing. But don't sing along to it, just listen. And don't have the volume low, like a background music. Have as loud as if you and your best friend got into a huge fight and you were in your room playin some music (best analogy I have). You're not gonna have it loud, are you? No, you're gonna have it loud enough to hear it, but quiet enough so you can just think about it. So much for the short part, huh? Oh well, I hope this helps.
