• There is one quick way to relax, focus and clear your mind besides sleeping.
• Listen to the soothing sounds of ocean waves, the rain or a waterfall.
• Natural sounds of the rain forest will help to clear clutter in your thinking.

Sit back comfortably, or lie down and allow a pleasing sound to take over your busy stream of thoughts. Relax quietly in a comfortable spot for at least twenty to thirty minutes at first. It is necessary to breathe slowly and deeply as you relax all the major muscle groups in your body.

Start with your feet and legs by tensing and releasing them. Then work your way up to your neck, shoulders, and head. Remember, to release the pressure in your eyes by squeezing hard and letting go or blink them a few times. Breathe in and out without pausing. You can count up to six, for instance, and hold your breath for two seconds, then exhale for a count of four.

As you breathe in and unwind, try to focus your mind on the sounds about you, and try not to think about any trouble or a situation that is upsetting or pressing. You can also close your eyes. Perhaps, you'll drift into a dreamy sleep state. This is fine and encouraged to help clear your pent-up thoughts.

Another method is to calm down while listening to a soothing voice that takes you through a relaxation response. This helps to overcome insomnia, phobias or panic attacks by making you relax certain muscle groups within a short time frame. This technique is a major help to the flight or fight response that paints subliminal messages in your mind. It produces a superb sense of welfare and internal harmony with peaceful pictures. As you listen to the calming instructions of a soothing monotone voice, you automatically focus your mind. Your cares will melt away, and your mind refocuses while listening to the words. Your mind will be cleared of all thoughts and feel empty.

Discovering something that captures your attention can dramatically help you to center your mind and loosen up further. Equally, you'll be intrigued by what you are staring at, and your mind can refocus on the minute details of your subject. You can choose to look out a window, admire a painting or gaze into the limitless sky, for instance. The quieter it is during these moments the easier it is to focus and clear your mind as you presently take in the vision.

Learning to focus and clearing your mind will radically help you to achieve your goals, and help you to break the cycle of certain terrible habits like smoking, drinking and overeating.

You can even train your mind to lose weight too.

Daily affirmations are a tremendous aid in reprogramming your mind. Meditation and relaxation helps, however, you can go further by reading or memorizing positive statements or affirmations each and every waking day. Reading short quotes about love and life helps and so does the awesomeness of trust found in the Bible.
