Firstly, in order to clear your consciousness, you need to determine the source of anxiety that annoys you, causing all thoughts to constantly circle. Then it must be isolated. The fact is that when you are busy with something, you may not notice that your thoughts are poisoned by the presence of some kind of problem. However, as soon as you are left alone with yourself, trying to fall asleep or are engaged in monotonous activity, this problem immediately emerges to the surface of consciousness. Do not try to simply brush aside obsessive thoughts, as this will only help you get rid of them for a short while. Determine the source itself, which causes a disturbance in mental activity and try to localize it.
