How do I clear my mind of thoughts?

Well sometimes I have too much on my mind and want to just want to focus, how can i do it?How do I clear my mind of thoughts?
Try imagining a large chalkboard, filled with scribbles, writing, and anything else you think of. Think that these are your thoughts, everything going on inside your head. Now, in your mind, create a chalk eraser, and quickly wipe away everything on the board. Now, think that your mind is clear, free of everything.





Another way is to close your eyes, and slowly breathe in and out through your nose. Imagine all your stressful thoughts just leaving your mind with each breath, and after a few breathes (usually 3-10) imagine your mind completely clear of all your thoughts.





Sometimes these work, sometimes they don't. But it really is important to actually believe that it will work. If you don't believe it'll work, then it most likely won't.How do I clear my mind of thoughts?
Meditation, which is about letting your thoughts be and letting your mind become still by accepting the thoughts and observing them flow through your mind and by practicing this for a while they will eventually subside to a great extent and also not have such a powerful grip on you....positive thinking excercises can be counter productive for many especially those with obsessive-compulsive thought patterns where the harder you fight and try to counter the thoughts the harder they'll fight and push back.





Google 'mindfulness meditation' and your problem will improve considerably and even dramatically depending on how much practice you decide to take up each day.
I had this problem as well mate, the best method i have found is meditation there are lots of free sources on the net you just need to enter meditation into a search engine and you will find a good method.





The way i do it is to find somewhere quiet, sit comfortable with a straight back close my eyes and breath through my nose, just breath normally and concentrate on your breathing.





if things pop into your head don't worry it takes a bit of practice but try and focus on your breath and breath it away.





once you've got the hang of it you can introduce what you want to specifically think about and when any other thoughts come in you can breath them away as i mentioned before.





as i said it does take some practice but when you have it off to pat you will be able to do it anywhere with all kinds of distractions around you and with your eyes open too, give it a go





cheers

Positive thinking is so important in life. Have hope and pray about your life. Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: ';Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen.'; I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
wat i do is if i hav too much on my mind all i do is eithier pray or look at n object kus any object. and stare at it fo about a minute. jus focusing on the shape and design of that object. then after ive done that for about a minute im fine...sounds weird but it works for me.
I used to have so many things going through my mind to where I would get headaches, so I started writing anything that crossed my mind in a notebook every now and then and I could think clearer and my headaches went away.
