💡 3 Tips to Stop Racing Thoughts

The Brain Dump: If a thought keeps looping, write it down on a notepad. Externalizing the "data" tells your brain it is safe to stop processing.
Label the Spike: Instead of saying "I can't sleep," say "I am experiencing temporary arousal." This removes the fear and creates clinical distance.
Hydrate & Cool: A sip of cool water can break an anxiety loop and lower your core temperature—a primary biological trigger for sleep.
