Have you ever laid in bed trying to sleep while a constant stream of thoughts flow through your

mind? Do you perpetually think about random thoughts throughout the day?

LAW OF ATTRACTION

According to the Law of Attraction, you will receive whatever is predominantly on your mind. If

your mind is producing chaotic, non-random thoughts, then this is what you will attract in your

life. Even in the dream world, your predominate thoughts and worries will be reflected.

HIJACKING THE INTROVERTED MIND

We have been indoctrinated into a society that places ego and materialism above everything

else, so many people will end up thinking about these things and how they are being perceived

by others. Our self perception has been hijacked by the mainstream media, who portrays

fictitious characters leading the make-believe lives which many people feel they should be

living.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of the population are extroverts and virtually all television

programming is geared to reinforce the all-about-me persona while deterring people to look

within for answers, which is they key trait of an introvert.

Carl Jung defined extraversion as an attitude type characterized by concentration of interest on

the external object, (the outside world). and introversion as an attitude-type characterized by

orientation in life through subjective psychic contents (focus on ones inner psychic activity).

REINFORCED IRRATIONAL THOUGHTS

By allowing the mainstream media to influence our thoughts and perceptions, we are creating irrational thought processes based on completely

fictitious ideas, premises and images. This is why you will NEVER feel good after watching the nightly news, which is mainly fear-

based propaganda designed to keep you living in lower vibrational thought patterns.

Even if you dont watch the news but still watch your favorite TV programs, the television

commercials are equally as bad by showing you groups of extroverts leading the fictitious

life the mainstream media is trying to sell you. Of course, these actors are mostly above

average looking which is telling you on a subconscious level, If I buy this product, then I

am beautiful and will have a large group of beautiful friends.

What these commercials are telling you is that you are not

good enough the way you are while reinforcing the

overactive mind to understand the differences that never

truly existed.

TIME IS MONEY, MONEY IS TIME

We have all heard the expression, Time is money. This is why every word needs to be precisely written and

every second is accountable in any given television program. On a subconscious level, we accept this premise as reality, creating additional

cognitive dissonance. We end up feeling as if every second needs to be accountable and we make up excuses for not finding the time to

connect with nature or to meditate.

The precept of time is equally as fictitious as the bullshit theyre selling on TV, yet we all buy into time and money. What is not being

portrayed by the mainstream media are the mundane moments that we all experience.

Much of what the overactive mind is doing is filtering the rational and irrational thoughts,

which creates cognitive dissonance. In other words, you may be subconsciously

persuaded to believe in these fictitious- stereotypes portrayed on TV, newspapers,

magazines, etc while another part of your subconscious mind is telling you the exact

opposite. Your active mind plays out all of these scenarios and your thought processes

dictate the internal chaos that will continue to be reinforced as thoughts create reality

through the Law of Attraction.

The mainstream media also refuses to show the importance of connecting to nature. while you will see various nature-related programs, the

connection to body, mind, spirit and soul through nature is rarely, if ever, emphasized.

SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDERS

Sometimes, a social anxiety disorder is the cause of an overactive mind. In this scenario, a person may feel as if he or she is constantly being

judged by others. If you are one of these people, then be assured that when someone judges someone else, they are generally insecure about

that of which they are judging you. In other words, they are detracting attention away from themselves and are projecting it upon you. This is

THEIR issue, not yours! The best way to handle this is to envision yourself as a mirror that deflects all negative thought patterns from other

people and reflects it right back at them. By doing this, you are no longer absorbing the insecurities that they are projecting.

12 WAYS TO CALM THE OVERACTIVE MIND

1. Eliminate the clutter

The easiest way is to eliminate the clutter. What are the themes to your overactive thoughts? Many of these thoughts are related to money

issues and our economic subservience to the system of control. Perhaps its time for a change in jobs or to find a job that you truly love to do?

The easiest way to determine this is to ask yourself, If there was no such thing as money, then what would I be doing with my life? After

having fun or traveling, you would eventually do something you love to do. At this point, try to find ways of doing this, even if it means

working a job that you hate while doing this new activity on the side. The worst case scenario is that you spent time doing something you love

to do and helped to eliminate the clutter from the overactive mind. The best case scenario is that you will find ways to make an income from

it and will be able to quit your present job.

2. Stop watching TV

The television is the biggest form of mind control and plays a large part on what we think and how we perceive life. In the United States, the

entire mainstream media (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, text books, etc) is owned by 6 corporations, all of which have Zionist

connections. Is it remotely possible that there is an agenda behind their programming? Ask yourself this: During World War II, Precott Bush

was arrested for funding both sides of the war, yet we never learned this in school. Why? Do you think his son, George H.W. or grandson,

George W. would have been elected president if we were taught this in school?

Your entire thought process of who you are, what you should wear, what you listen to, what you eat or drink, etc is being manipulated

through the mainstream media. Your overactive mind will continue to process, judge, compare and contrast that which you are being sold as

reality to what is actually real. If you continue to watch TV, then you will continue to buy into a false sense of reality which, in turn, will

reinforce your current thought processes and inability to fall asleep peaceably at night. Even when you fall asleep, your dreams will be

affected by that of which predominates your thought patterns. Once you learn how to declutter your mind, you will find that your dreams are

no longer fear based and at times, will be prophetic.

3. Meditate

One of the biggest excuses that people will give as to why they do not meditate is they dont have the time.

According the the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Watching TV was the leisure activity that occupied the most time (2.8 hours per day), accounting for

about half of leisure time, on average, for those age 15 and over. Socializing, such as visiting with friends or attending or hosting social events, was

the next most common leisure activity, accounting for nearly three-quarters of an hour per day.

What this statistic is saying is that people would much rather be programmed by TV than to visit friends and neighbors. It also says that they

would much rather be, literally, programmed than to use that time constructively, meditating.

Another excuse of why people dont meditate is that they have an overactive mind and have difficulty clearing their predominant thoughts.

There are many different styles of meditation, so one should experiment with as many as possible and either find a method that is conducive

to eliminating the clutter or to create one where they are able to find that inner peace.

The meditation that I recommend to those with an overactive mind is called an Open Eye Meditation where you place two objects

approximately 6 feet away from you and each other. (See Amazing Open Eye Meditation). While trying to focus on these objects, your mind will

not be able to process any other thoughts. I also suggest to try this technique for more than 5 minutes, as many people will easily give up too

quickly.

4. Remove the ego

Many people will live their entire lives never knowing who they truly are while pretending to be what society expects them to be. Once again,

these irrational thoughts are reinforced by the mainstream media. Ultimately, we are spiritual beings having a human experience and our

bodies are just shells for our souls. Once you begin to accept this concept, you will then begin to realize how we are all connected.

A good way to learn how to remove the ego is to practice empathy by envisioning how other people may feel.

Through empathy, you will see how our egos help to keep us separated as individuals instead of a collective consciousness. For example,

many people are too detached from worldwide atrocities, such as famine and starvation in third world countries. They may think to

many people are too detached from worldwide atrocities, such as famine and starvation in third world countries. They may think to

themselves, If it doesnt affect me, then it doesnt exist. What if it was YOU who was starving? Would you want others to know or care or

would you prefer to have people say to themselves, If it doesnt affect me, then it doesnt exist. The truth is that we are all in this together

and if one person is suffering, then we all suffer.

5. Your body is your temple

Diets that are high in sugar and caffeine content may affect your thought processes. Fluoridated water has been proven to calcify the pineal

gland (your 3rd eye). GMOs have been proven to cause tumors in laboratory testing of rats. Too much alcohol will generally magnify any issues

you are thinking about, so try to avoid excessive alcohol consumption if you have an overactive mind. Avoid stimulants.

Be conscious about what you are eating and drinking because these all play into your vibratory level and will in turn, affect how you think or

what youre thinking about.

Most importantly, listen to your body. If you are experiencing heartburn, then eat more high alkaline foods instead of taking an antacid. On

your day off, if you are tired, take a nap no matter what time of the day it is. Your body will always tell you when it is out of synch, so listen to

it!

6. Exercise

They say a healthy body is a healthy mind, so if you are physically able to, then find ways to integrate exercise into your daily routine.

7. Escape time

On your day(s) off, learn how to escape time. Time keeps us locked into the constructs of the work week so on your day off, dont look at your

cell phone, dont watch TV (TV is all scheduled on time) and just wing it in regard to any activities for that day. Try not to place any time

constraints on this particular days activities.

By escaping time, you are also getting away from the matrix that keeps us all entrapped as economic slaves to the system, so this will help to

eliminate the overactive minds thought process by giving it one less thing to think about.

The next time you have a week vacation, try listening to your body as to when to go to sleep for the entire week. If you feel like taking a nap

at 3PM, do it! Stay up as late as you want and go to bed when your body tells you that it is time to sleep. Youll find that you will be able to

fall asleep easier and much faster when you listen to your body.

8. Have fun!

Start doing things that you truly enjoy to do. Let your mind focus on fun instead of trivial items that are out of your ability to control. Youll

find that your thought patterns will change drastically when you are doing things you enjoy.

9. Release the need to control everything

Many people with overactive minds have the need to remain in control of most everything in their lives. it is very difficult for a controlling

person to relinquish control because they might feel that if they do not have control over their circumstances, then they have no control over

themselves, which is not true. Events will come and go whether you control them or not. All you need to be is responsible for your own

actions. When you begin to start controlling other people, you are creating more things to be concerned about which in turn will feed the

overactive mind.

10. Start a journal and/or dream diary

One way to release the constant flow of thoughts is to start a journal or dream diary. By simply putting it in writing, you can provide yourself

with a simple outlet to help eliminate the clutter in your mind.

11. Live in the now

The overactive mind is constantly thinking about the past or future. By living in the now you will be able to release that of which you cannot

control. This doesnt mean that you instantly become unaware of what has happened or what is about to happen. It is more of a realization

that the past cannot change and the future hasnt occurred, so why waste time thinking about either?

12. Connect with nature

Find the time to connect with nature, whether its taking a long walk in the woods or at the beach or where ever brings you inner peace while

being immersed in nature. While in nature, try not to think about every day life and simply appreciate what nature provides. Try listening to

the cadence of the wind or from a babbling brook. What animal or bird sounds do you hear?

BALANCE

An overactive mind is a sign of imbalance and can be corrected but one must want to see the change within themselves in order for this to

occur. There is a saying, As within, so without. If your body needs rest, then so does your mind. If your mind is constantly processing

activities, events and possible scenarios, it will resist sleep by continuing this process, despite your body telling you that you are tired. This is

why it is so important to listen to your body.

By eliminating the clutter, you will find that in the worst case scenario, you will continue using your overactive mind in a positive way without

fear or the need to control others. You will also have an increased sense of intuition, an easier time falling asleep and your dreams will

become more prophetic.

It saddens me that some folks continue to run around the circle of fear andinsecurities that leads us to nowhere fast. This reality is written here altruisticallyfor the betterment of all humanity not a chosen few(no pun intended). These arethe realities that are approaching our lives and if we don't wake up and prepareourselves to be mentally aware and healthy we will be going down the the path toour emotional control and eventual demise. Zombies is not a too far fetched wordto use with the attacks on our lives coming from every direction from those inpower who want to control our us and continue in perpetuity the slave mentality thatprevails and is in action at this time and age. "Fear is the most powerful enemy ofreason . Both fear and reason are essential to human survival,but the relationshipbetween them is unbalanced. Reason may sometimes dissipate fear,but fearfrequently shuts down reason. As Edmund Burke wrote in England twenty yearsbefore the American Revolution,"No passion so effectually robs the mind of all itspowers of acting and reasoning as fear." Quoted from the book "The Assault onReason" written by AL Gore.

Wow talk about overactive minds! Breathe people stfu and breathe. I thoughtreading these comments someone might decide to post something about whatbenefits the steps posted give. Meditation has helped me way more than I can say.Watching less TV, (Tell-lie-vision, seriously think about that one.) gives more timefor you. Removing the Ego makes a better quality you and brings about a closerconnection with others and so on. But no, to damn busy arguing over somethingthat is a millenia old. So you think divided does us any good? And the empororsenator palpatine claps...good good. ~(Return of the Jedi-George Lucas) I am aJedi like my father before me. Simply means I am at one with myself and in controlof my mind and emotions.

Everyone is ragging on this author for "Zionist" remarks but, it is true whether youagree with it or not. Facts negate your wants. I am a Christian. I have nothingagainst Jews. I am not racist. I see that all of the worlds media is stronglyinfluenced if not controlled by the Jews. To deny this as a fact is only denying thetruth which, by the way, is public records. Discrediting all of someones beliefs orviews based on one view you do not agree with is your choice to remain ignorant. Itis the exact thing you claim is the authors problem but it is within yourself. Youthink he is a racist for stating publicly recorded facts because you don't want toagree with the truth. This is the propaganda indoctrination that is specificallycovered in this article that makes you prefer being happily blind and ignorant. Godloved the Jews more then any other race. I guess God was a racist too then right?
