Regulating oneself

I need an outlet so am putting this into the "ether". I'm pretty sure, given my track record, It will be deleted later today.

I continue to have my mind fixed on things and I'm struggling to regulate this. I can go from "fairly relaxed" to "a brain crammed full" in a short space of time. I'm thankful that these days the whirlygig of my mind is consumed with nice things as opposed to worries - I know it's simply a matter of attention. But I am struggling to switch off.

To get through this, I listen to music, go walking outside, switching task, writing it down or, in the case of the other day, telling myself "the world is alright" and letting the feeling sit. It's intense. I don't know if I'd prefer the alternative or not.

I don't know why I'm posting this, but like I said, need to get it out rather than simply writing it down for myself.
