6 Ways to Quiet Your Hyper Mind
A lot of people talk to me about how their minds are flooded with
fast thinking, and then want to know how to make it all just chill out
up there. It's just tiring and there's too much going on. Here are some
ideas:
1. Occupy your mind intensely.
2. Change your physical state.
3. Check in on your physical, mental, emotional states, and take care of them.
4. Drown out some of it.
5. Identify what's going on: your mind is a speeding flood of thoughts.
6. Watch the flood of thoughts like it is a river you're standing next to.
I'll elaborate in future posts. In the meantime, try these out. But don't worry or judge if they don't work; different things work at different times for different people.

Thanks–all helpful suggestions! Looking forward to reading more.
Meditating regularly, even for short periods of time, helps me with this … when I actually do it!

Thanks for your tip, Kathleen. Meditating does seem to work really well for some people. A while ago I posted about it on another blog, you can read the post here:
