If you live a busy life, this article may help you step out of the momentum of the day and give tricks to calm your mind.

12 Best Ways to Keep Your Mind Calm

Here are the 12 tips which help you to keep your mind calm:-

Listen to Music

Listening to music literally calms the activity in your brain. Music is a good thing to try if you’re distracted by pain. Listen closely, not just as background. The more you notice, the less you’ll dwell on your other thoughts and your mind will be calm.

You can watch fish swimming

People with home aquariums say they feel calmer, more relaxed, and less stressed when they gaze at their fish. It isn’t just the water, although that alone helps. A study using a tank hundreds of times larger found that the more types of marine life that were added, the happier people got. Heart rates and blood pressures dropped, too in these cases.

You can consume healthy and well-balanced meals

Light and healthy meals keep you on your toes. They work as a great confidence booster. Stock up your kitchen with healthy food instead of junk food that lowers your energy.

Create a mindfulness mantra

Every morning remind yourself that your new life starts today, which helps you step into the now and connect more deeply with the present moment and separate yourself from the worries of your mind.

Take a bath

Taking bath will help you relax by forcing you to take a step back from the bustle of the day, and they can be a great way to let your worries fall away as they fade into the heat of the water.

Watch your favorite show or do anything creative or you can solve puzzles

It’s important to take time out of your day to reward yourselves, and indulging in a simple pleasure like watching a show you like, can help you step away from your worries and enjoy your free moments from the bustle of life. You can write, sing, paint, dance, draw or make a collage. Working on a puzzle is really good for your brain because you show your brain that things can be put back together, one piece at a time.

Have a deep conversation with your family or friends or anyone who is close to you

Fully focus on the other person and listen to what they have to say. By not simply waiting to say your piece, you can help pull yourselves out of your own heads and connect more deeply to the moment by showing appreciation to the people we talk with.

Be assertive, not aggressive

Much of our stress is self-imposed. Remember you just have to be assertive and not aggressive whenever under pressure. Assert your feelings, opinions, and beliefs instead of becoming angry, defensive, or passive.

Say no to toxicity

Don’t rely on alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviors to reduce stress. Avoid, or at least reduce, your consumption of nicotine and any drinks containing caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and so they will increase your level of stress rather than reduce it.

Manage your time effectively

Set limits appropriately and learn to say no to requests that can create excessive stress in your life. A common cause of stress is having too much on your plate and too little time to execute. Learning to say “no” to additional or unimportant requests will help to reduce your level of stress, and provide you enough time to rewind for a new day.

Take a Long Sleep

When you are mentally exhausted, it can sometimes start to mess with you. So having a good sleep will reduce your stress.

Do some exercises that will take from ten seconds to a minute to do

These exercises use a practice let’s call it ‘Pause and Ask’. This exercise is very portable you can do it anywhere; it’s also brief. Just stand up or sit down and initiates the first step of this exercise that is Pause.

Stop doing and talking and as this step happens, just relax. Relax the muscles in your shoulders, your jaw, around your eyes, and anywhere else where you can feel tension is holding on. As you relax, pay attention to the feeling of your body.

Widen the lens of your attention over these senses and focus as if you’re listening to them. Take ten seconds or more if you like to settle into this.

The next step is to float the question- ‘What‘s happening for me now?’ You will probably find a train of thoughts arises in your mind, after that sum up that train in one word like ‘busy’ or ‘eager’ or ‘irritable’. If instead of a thought, you experience an emotion or mood, and then give it a word that fits it. In either case, the question will move through your consciousness where it might contact thoughts, sensations, or an impulse to do something.

Acknowledge that thoughts or sensation, for a moment you will see that you are watching or listening to what the question brought to light rather than engaging in what you’re thinking or feeling.

 In this exercise, the main thing is that you have shifted to watch your mind. And with that, you can sense what’s happening for you from outside the experience rather than by being engaged or immersed in it.

Once the steps are completed, check-in with whatever your question ‘what’s happening for me now?’ reveals, give it a simple label and give yourself a few moments to feel ‘ busy’ or ‘eager’ or ‘irritable’ without doing anything about it.

Remember to stay in touch with and try to keep your attention spread over the whole of your body because this will help you to stay balanced. Don’t act or react. Here, by avoiding actions and reactions you will allow a fuller and more helpful response to the mood to arise.

By doing this exercise, you may sense calm. It gives you a chance to get an overview of what you are feeling or doing, to change direction, or to let things pass.
