Clearing your mind?

[Mrs Busa Pete]

I'm known round these parts as being pretty flippant and off-hand about most things. A joker if you will. That's great - thanks for the accolade... but in every life a little rain must fall...
I've been stressed (for reasons that I won't go into here) and have had trouble sleeping. I wake up at some ungodly hour (2, 3 in the morning) and can't go back to sleep, or if I do sleep it's just dozing for 20 minutes at a time. I have stuff that seems to go round and round in my head.

My question is this: What do you do to clear your mind? I need to clear my head so I can get some sleep. No, I do not want to take drugs. If I can't clear my mind by myself it's a pointless exercise.

The only why is to deal with what is waking you up. ie bad marrage work on what is causing the problem if you can't move on it is not going to get any better, Mortgage sell the house and get something cheaper. There is an answer to every problem you just have to want to face it and deal with it.

Sorry colo don't mean to sound mean but that is life.

Yep that's why I wanted to deal with it without drugs. Things have improved - I've dealt with two big things that were causing the most grief. And I'm back getting some decent excercise at the gym. I didn't realise how much I missed the weights!! Already had a few hard sessions...

I used alternative medicines ..so Tranquil Sleep and Restful night .. they worked for a little bit ... good to see things improving .. but these are an option . .some pharmacys and alternative therapists have them. That doesn't mean that you don't have to work through all the other shit causing the problem though.

Bitch from Hell ???
That thumbnail of yours would give me a few sleepless nights

For clearing my mind I tend to think over unanswerable questions. I change my perspective from the day to day crap to a position somewhere in the middle of the universe looking down at Earth.

It's sometimes good to think that none of this life thing really matters. I mean shit, who's going to care in a few millenia?

This also goes well with a beer on a balcony under the stars.
