Quiet for a busy, looping mind. When Your Mind Won't Slow Down is a guided session in Centered that takes about six minutes. A calm voice helps you settle, slows your breathing down, and then reads a set of affirmations for the moments your thoughts keep circling. Each line appears on screen as it is spoken.
Like every weekly session, it is free for everyone in its first week.
Who it's for
- Thoughts that circle the same worry, over and over
- Lying awake replaying a conversation or rehearsing tomorrow
- A busy head in the middle of the day, when you only have a few minutes
A few lines from the session
- A thought is just a thought. It isn't a fact.
- I can notice a worry without following it.
- Not every thought needs an answer from me.
- Most of what I'm bracing for never arrives.
- I put this down for now, and nothing falls apart.
Try pressing your feet into the floor while you read one. The session starts there too: something solid under you, then one line at a time.
Centered is for reflection, not treatment. If racing thoughts are with you most days or keep you from sleeping, it is worth talking to a doctor.
Or write your own
If your week has its own shape, tell Centered what is going on, in a sentence or out loud. It writes a short set of affirmations for that exact moment and reads them back to you in a calm voice. You can write one a week for free.
