Spinning thoughts can be one reason for having trouble falling asleep. Impressions from the
day remain unsorted, unresolved situations resurface, and pending tasks
push to the front of our minds, causing thoughts to loop and circle endlessly.
Writing things down can help bring order and can help structure and reduce cognitive load. Wishes, worries, and memories become more concrete and easier to process.
Type whatever is on your mind into the text field and watch your thoughts lift out of your awareness, become visible, and begin to move. Press the Enter key between individual thoughts to release them one by one.
Once you have collected your thoughts, you can DECLUTTER them by sorting them within a mental 2×2 mapping matrix. Drag and drop each thought from the list on the left into the matrix to sort them along two dimensions: from Worries to Thankfulness, and from Things I can change to Things I cannot change.
Through this process, thoughts may crystallize into something more graspable and in doing so, begin to feel less overwhelming. You can switch back to spinning mode at any time to return to the calming, ambient visualization of your thoughts floating in front of you. At the center, a bronze spinning top, cast at a height of 10 cm and a diameter of 6 cm turns endlessly. Its steady rotation accompanies the visualization, offering a soothing presence as thoughts move and loosen around it.
