WOW scuba diving how cool.

I know slowing my breathing doesn't slow my thinking I have to have a focus point for that so what I do is self hypnosis type of relaxation where I start with my head and work my way down instead of paying attention to the racing thoughts I think about how a ray of sunshine on a warm-hot summer day would feel on my hair forehead all down to my toes The whole process usually takes me about a half hour to an hour because I move that ray of sunshine very slowly so that every detail is included and its funny but sometimes this works so well that it fools my brain into feeling the warmth because I have at times layed out in the sun on a summer day doing this exercise so I just think about when I did it for real laying in the sun. Because my brain is actively thinking about the relaxation process in minute detail the racing thoughts stop. expecially if I am doing it with my eyes closed so that everything around me isnt triggering and thoughts, and I am listening to a relaxation recording so that I am hearing what I am doing instead of the other sounds around outside my body. and so on basically shutting all my senses off to my surroundings so that my memorys won't get triggered into replaying and I am focusing on the total relaxation stuff.
