When thoughts race too quickly, it becomes difficult to focus, rest, or make decisions calmly. This often happens during periods of intense worry, stress, or emotional overload. The first step is to slow your breathing, which naturally reduces mental speed. Writing your thoughts down can help organise them and provide clarity. Reducing caffeine, improving sleep routine, and taking short breaks during the day can also support mental calmness. If rapid thoughts persist, a mental health professional can help identify the cause and recommend personalised strategies or therapy options.
