Distraction. Whether it's social interaction, chatting online, movies, video games, dating, sex, etc... I have to do things to entertain the front of my mind to forget thoughts. I don't smoke, and I only drink when in company.

I noticed that repetitive tasks, chores, work, studying, and showering do not alleviate thoughts.

Solitude helps. I like to work things out in my mind instead of having others interject in my thoughts.

I try to take a moment at least a few times a day to quiet my mind

Lovely picture and I like what you wrote but aren't you in Phoenix?

Sex and oceans work the best

I write down all the things I have to do on a list and make notations when I will work on them. Then I can go to sleep knowing everything is under control.
