Free yourself from your mind

Listen to the voice in your head impartially.
Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns you have. Do not judge your thoughts; simply be aware of them.

Notice your thoughts subside.
As you become aware of your thoughts, they will start to subside because you are no longer energizing the mind by identifying with your thoughts. You will feel a sense of peace.

Immerse yourself in the Now.
Make the present moment the primary focus of your life. For example, when you wash your hands, pay attention to all your senses - the sound and feel of water, the smell of the soap, etc.

Observe the tendency of your mind to want to escape from the Now.
You may notice yourself thinking about the future and imagining it to be better or worse than the present. The former will give you hope, and the latter will give you anxiety. However, both emotions are dependent on an illusion. When this happens, immerse yourself in the Now and free yourself from your mind.
