So, for a mind that goes 100 miles an hour, I found this useful...
A friend was telling me how much more productive they were when they were relaxed and this was even after they got rid of their blackberry.
The common message from wise, experienced leaders is that the key to life is balance...it seems to be the answer for everything: controlling stress, living a good life, maintaining physical health, managing workload...

1. Objective Thinking: Focus your thoughts. Stop other thoughts that are not specific to your wellbeing or task.
2. Be Still: Allow your thoughts to come and go, but resist the urge to follow each one. Your brain will eventually slow down and you will feel less pressured.
3. Count. If you find it difficult to let go of your thoughts, try counting slowly as you breathe. Watch your thoughts and try to resist following them. Turn your attention to the count as you breathe out.
4. Pay active attention. As you work and think, try to keep your attention on the task at hand. Be strict with yourself and each time your mind wanders, return it to the task. As you keep refocusing your attention, your “mind stillness” will improve.
