I am completely anxious whenever I have things to think in my mind. It's like forcing my brain to multitask. I myself hate multitasking. But it feels to me that I cannot control my brain when it comes to thinking about some random things.
That condition becomes worse when I suddenly get an unwanted distraction. The most annoying distraction for me is a distorted noisy sound. It gets my mind to be busier than ever.
So I need to do something to distract myself from my busy mind. Doing any activity (and clearly not holding my phone) that makes me focus on doing really helps my mind to not become busy. Things like cleaning the house, playing with my pets, and rearranging the garden help my mind.
While it feels good to do nothing because I can have a self talk, doing it too often makes my mind get busier. For me, when I do a self talk, I use my thinking to produce the language in my brain and to let my mind wander.
It's true that when people talk to themselves, they actually introspect. But when it's done too frequently, what happens is not introspection; it's an inner debate. That's what makes their mind busy.
To let my mind rest for a while, I stop thinking. Then I choose doing an activity. Well, yes it's definitely correct that my mind is actually working when I do a thing. But when the thing that I do needs an unbroken concentration, my mind is doing okay. It is not busy, and stress-free.
