5. Now Clear Your Mind

Granted, it’s hard not to think about anything. Clearing your mind can be one of the most challenging steps. It’s common to end up thinking about not thinking. But don’t worry, there are ways to make this easier.

Hold a relaxing image in your mind. Try holding a simple, relaxing image in your mind. Picture yourself lying comfortably in darkness or in a serene, peaceful place. This mental imagery can help distract you from other thoughts.

Focus on the details. When you picture a relaxing scene, focus on the details. Imagine the colors, sounds, and sensations. This can help keep your mind occupied and prevent it from wandering.

If that doesn’t work, try a different approach. If holding an image doesn’t work for you, don’t worry. There are other techniques to help clear your mind, which brings us to the next step.
