“If You’re Suffering From Racing Thoughts, Use The 333 Rule”: This Guy Shares 30 Psychology Hacks He Wants People To Know

Excellent name there Fry!

A good business managed will care more about working smarter not faster. Haste makes waste.

Or you came in 5 min before closing time and are trying to decide between two 5€ products - just come back tomorrow, please!!! I used to work in sales, and there were too many people trying to make huge decisions at the wrong time: their whole wedding jewellery and hair accessories around 7:45 pm on a Monday night when 8 pm is closing time, their whole Christmas shopping on Christmas eve, their Halloween outfit two days prior... Plan ahead, people!

I get paid more than $200 to $400 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily $30k from this without having online working skills . Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site… Here is I started.…………>> Www.TopCityPay.com

This trick has also helped me through panic attack onsets and severe anxiety.

Does it work for severe ADHD? I take clonidine every damned night, it’s getting less effective but taking a higher dose would just my mornings worse after I would eventually black out to sleep… I I don’t know what to do anymore

I'm a therapist and I completely agree with you! Grounding techniques are an INVALUABLE coping skill.

I used to have my analog watch with me and concentrate on the ticking and the hands going round when I was panicking during exams.

Unsure where I read it but basically you need to trick your mind into moving to abstract and constructing dreams. Think of a word like dog. Then for every letter think of all the words you can. So start with d. Do "desk" then try to imagine a desk in your mind. Walking around it looking at all the parts and sides really envision it. I usually get a few items into the first letter before I'm asleep

I just breathe slow and pretend to be asleep to trick my body into sleeping.

I use the 4,7,8 breathing technique. In makes your parasympathetic nervous system kick in and calm you down. You breathe in deeply through your nose and fill up your belly, not chest, for four seconds. Then you hold that breath for seven seconds if you can, then exhale through your mouth making a slight whooshing noise for eight seconds making sure you completely deflate your belly. Do this in sets of four as needed.

Yep! I'm a 51 year old with a night light. Not afraid of the dark-afraid of what's IN the dark.

Try focusing on your breathing. Breathe in 2 3 4, out 2 3 4. Longer if you can. Slowly. In through your nose. When your mind wonders (which it will) just turn your attention back to your breathing, over and over again. Trying to not think isn’t helpful, focusing on one relaxing thing like breathing could be more helpful. Takes practice. Don’t give up!

Awesome version! There’s a ton of them. Square breathing = in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4 (not sure why it’s called square when that always seemed like 3 sides of a triangle to me!). Also 4 6 8 breathing, in 4, hold 6, out 8, but I could never get to 8, too long for me. Just google deep breathing and you’ll be bombarded with choices!

If you think it's funny then it's not "at your expense".

laugh with them. that will allow you to take some control and power off of them.

'at your expense' being the key words in that case. I have been subject to a lot of ribbing that I also enjoyed, and perhaps even learned from...

Having tried this in middle school..it doesn't work. The whole group starts repeating it all day, mocking you.

I don't know ppl who do that malicious and if one does, I don't notice. I just laugh. Haha your superb sarcasm is so funny. Oh wait. This person online was serious? Haha didn't even notice. Took it as a compliment.

key phrase here is 'at your expense"

Literally says "at your expense".

What is really bad is when you tell someone a joke, & they don't get it. Then you have to explain the joke. That's the worst.

I do this and it reallllly helps!!

Wash the white clothes. Fold the white clothes. Wash the dark clothes... I make lists and it give me a boost when i cross something off.

Same...even singing doesn't really help-although I CAN replace a bad song with one I like-usually the last song I heard on the radio.

I've found that if you play the song really fast or slow or distort it in some way, it can help to get it out of your head

What about songs on a loop, like the wicked witch theme or I Dream of Jennie? It just won't stoooooooop!

I hope it does, the solution sounds unpleasant

When my kid was little I’d get the sounds of his toys stuck in my head. Like the five melodic notes his tree made. The 10 sec tune the puppy played when you squeezed it. It wasn’t even a song. Just sounds, noises, tones. I just heard it so much over and over. Lol. I’m glad we’ve moved on from that type of toy.

Indeed! Might have to try it out, lol.

And then you'll be yawning for hours...
