How to Stop Your Mind From Racing and Tools to Reduce Anxiety
Written By: Rebekah Wilson
Are you feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts and struggling to quiet your mind? You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Rebekah, an associate marriage and family therapist at Roubicek and Thacker. With my extensive training in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I believe that understanding how to regain control over your thoughts is key to reducing anxiety and finding peace in the present moment.
Welcome to another installment of my video blog series, where we explore practical tools for mental and emotional well-being. In this video, we’ll be diving into the topic of calming a racing mind and learning tools to reduce anxiety. We’ll explore strategies for grounding yourself, shifting your focus, and using gratitude and breathing techniques to bring your nervous system back to a place of calm. These tools are simple yet powerful, and with practice, they can help you regain a sense of control when anxiety starts to take over.
In previous discussions, we’ve talked about mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—all of which play a role in quieting an overactive mind. This video invites you to take a moment for yourself, learn how to slow down your thoughts, and cultivate a greater sense of peace in your daily life.
