I find it natural for my mind to spin into the same ruminating whirl you've described. It can be about something as major as a new job - or as mundane as what time to wash laundry. A relentless hamster on a wheel spin. So tiring and what a waste of good energy.
The most helpful and productive way I've found to let go so I can have more control of my priorities is to force myself to stop the spinning thoughts (I even envision a STOP sign), stop
thinking, 
-and take one step toward doing.
Doesn't matter what that step is, don't give in to the racing and going wild thoughts! Do something to change your focus - start with good, even breathing, then open your front door and step out for a walk, or turn some music on (music really helps change the thought pattern!) - whatever it is that you can do to re-adjust your focus. Even drinking a glass of water switches your brain's direction of action.
Every once in a while, when the ruminating thoughts arise remind yourself, It will all work out - and believe that (because it's true).
