how do i completely shut off my mind from any and all thoughts? what's the best way to stop thought loops before they happen?
>>1571213Learn to meditate.
idk if it counts but when i put on a song and try focusing on just the song and appreciating it i find the voice in my head stops
>>1571253This.MUSIC.
>>1571253But music is a thought, that's just focusing on a replacement. No different really than thinking intently about how beautiful breasts are
Entirely unrelated, but the only way I can get to sleep is through cognitive shuffling, thinking of a topic and then thinking of one thing from it for every letter of the alphabet.For example if you think of food you might think of Apples, Bread, Cheese, Duck, Eggs, Frankfurters, etc.It's just mentally stimulating enough that you stop thinking of other things but not mentally stimulating enough to keep you awake.Man, I could go for some duck. I might call the happy panda.

>>1571318This is so fucking bullshit. When someone pauses half way through speaking you're not just staring blankly like a retard, completely unthinking. Your brain is actively anticipating what he's going to say next. If he just randomly started saying words that didn't follow ("The key to meditation Israel DJ hoplite turf") your brain would spazz out. It's only because what he's saying naturally follows on from the last thing he said that your mind is at calm.
