Use guided meditations: Guided meditations can be helpful for keeping your mind focused and for learning different techniques to manage racing thoughts.
Incorporate physical relaxation techniques: Physical relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, floatation therapy, or tai chi can help you to release tension and calm your mind.
Practice mindfulness: Bring your attention to the present moment and focus on your breath. When your mind starts to wander, gently guide it back to your breath without judgment.
