The Quest for Thought

There is no stopping my brain. There are like 10 different thoughts running simultaneously on 4 different tracks just narrowly missing each other. There is absolutely no stopping the thoughts when they start to flow.

I have tried many different things like focusing on my breath, meditation, counting numbers, letting the thoughts flow without engaging with them, looking at the darkness in the brain and creating barriers for thoughts to come in the centre. However, none of these have helped me in controlling my trains of thoughts.

For example, while writing this blog I have Googled 37 random things unrelated to this blog, thought about 3 different blog topics, watched some million reels, travelled from Bengaluru to Sujangarh (a story for later) and completely forgot that I was writing this blog.

My brain sometimes does not want to brain and will completely shut down and make me forget what I was doing or going to do. I have joked multiple times that I need to have whiteboards all throughout my home for me to just write down what I was thinking and come back to it when I have forgotten about it.

If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve my memory (almonds do not help) and not have a constant battle of thoughts please let me know. It will be really helpful. Thank you in advance.
