Whether it's from the every day stresses of life or something traumatic that happened in your life, our minds tend to get a little foggy now and then. Ever wanted to just stop thinking about whatever you're thinking about? Lucky for you, there are plenty of simple ways to clear your head from the constant rush of thoughts.

1. Read a book

By reading a book you can redirect your mind to thinking about whatever is happening in the book rather than what's going on in your life. Just find a quiet place away from distractions and dive in to a good book, you'll find a lot of your stress relieved.

2. Exercise

Exercise is the number one way to clear your head, ask anyone. Exercising when you're worrying or just can't stop thinking about something actually helps you get a better workout. You end up channeling the energy you're putting into worrying into a good workout. So now you're not only not worrying anymore, but you dropped a couple pounds too.

3. Write down your thoughts

A lot of the times the reason your mind gets foggy, or you find yourself thinking about the same thing for a long time, is because you're letting all of your emotions build up without giving them an outlet. If you just stop and write down all the thoughts flooding your brain, you won't be as "stuck".

4. Turn off your phone

This may be a lot for you, but sometimes you need to just turn it off. Turn. Off. Your. Cellphone. If your mind is overwhelmed with thoughts the last thing you need is for your phone to be buzzing every 10 seconds.

5. Take a nap

The reason for the clogging thoughts in your mind could just be because you're tired. Even just a 30 minute power nap could do you some good.
