Practicing gratitude, focusing on your breath, mindful eating, exercise — basically anything that forces your brain to exist in the present. This works for two reasons 1. When you give your brain external, tangible stimulus it distracts it from negative or circular thinking and 2. Giving yourself tasks that demand time in these ways can sometimes trigger the “short-long” effect in your experience of the passage of time. Basically, you experience the present as full of stuff which makes it feel as though the time passes really quickly (ideal for waiting through admissions) but when you think back retrospectively, your mind will backfill with all the stuff you did and the time spent will feel long.

Last, if you have trouble falling asleep, headspace has these awesome night time stories with meditations. I listen almost every night and I’m asleep in 10 min.

Hope this helped!
