That keeps me up awake at night too.

Don't have that sort of money or time :( lol

the trick is to stop thinking. then you can begin to control your wandering mind.

it's actually a lot harder than it sounds but easy to try.

step 1: sit somewhere quite.
step 2: stare at the wall
step 3: don't think of anything for 30 minutes

rinse and repeat daily.

Physical activity is great for clearing the mind

Phsyical activity is a good suggestion. Really anything that lets your mind go on cruise control for a little while.

I'm thinking that the problem a LOT of people have is that they never really give their brains any downtime. They spend their days at work focused on their jobs, they focus all evening on various things, and they fill any free time with television, video games, and other things that require them to pay attention to the entertainment. When they finally do go to sleep, they're too tired to lay down and rest, they simply crash into sleep--something they don't get enough of anyway. They're not allowing time for their mind to just wander and sort through all the information it has.

Try this: sit in a dimly-lit room for half an hour. Don't distract yourself with phones or computers or televisions or books. Just sit, and let your brain relax. It's not really meditation, you're just seeing where your mind goes when it's not occupied. If you don't fall asleep because you're too tired, I bet you'll start remembering all sorts of things, coming up with some great ideas to solve some problem or another, and then...daydreaming about whatever comes to mind. That's something your brain *wants* to do before you go to sleep every night, but a lot of people don't allow it...hell, we even medicate ourselves so we go to sleep faster rather than dealing with it.

Exercise gives you that time. While you run, or lift weights, or do whatever it is you enjoy doing for exercise, your mind is mostly free to relax and sort things out.

Trust this man. Who knew a show for little girls could be so awesome.

Indeed. FIM is awesome. Best show in years.

Physical Activity, something that really makes you sweat and struggle the better, gives you something else to focus on and its actually connected to anatomy but instead of looking at someone and visualizing their muscle and bone structure under their skin you just see your self getting stronger.


Meditation, great for clearing out thoughts. The recycle bin for the brain. Really nice to meditate after stretching after doing the exercise. It calms you down.

It really helps, I know. I learned anatomy too. :)

You live in the UK yet you have trouble finding women that would put out? Your either 25st or you live in a monastery on the Outer Hebrides.

Aussie women = best women.
