(i.e. mindfulness, meditation)
◊ Increase the intake of oxygen
(i.e., getting fresh air, practicing deep breathing, exercising, or getting sweaty on my myoga mat); and
◊ Release and clear thoughts
(i.e., daily journaling, talking to a close friend, brain dump).
Some of these are SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN methods for calming and/or rewiring the brain, which might be comforting for you to know.
