7. Confiding in a family member or friend can help you sort through some of the clutter and chaos occurring in your mind.
We have all gone through situations or experiences where we need a family member or friend’s support. Sometimes that support can just be them lending an open ear to listen. When you are experiencing a cluttered mind, sometimes it can be therapeutic to confide in someone and share what thoughts are racing through your head. It is an excellent way to release and get out some of those pent-up emotions. If you have a significant other or best friend, let them know that you need to talk and then sit down to vent your mind.

However, if you are not comfortable sharing those thoughts with someone in your personal life, seek a therapist or life coach who can also serve as a lending ear and open mind. Sometimes sharing what is on your mind can be incredibly helpful. The person you choose to confide in may be able to offer you a perspective different than your own, which can provide you with clarity. They may also be able to help identify which thoughts are the priority. Unloading your thoughts and feelings forces you to break the cycle of letting those thoughts fester. It’s essential to return the favor and listen to your family member or friend during their time of need.
