I’ve never once in my waking life been without thought. I’ve always assumed it’s impossible to actually be clear of thought. I’ve meditated and can hold a thought if need be, but never can I outright clear them away.
I can sometimes get down to only one level of thought, but generally I have multiple tracks of thoughts going at once. It’s probably why I’m primarily inattentive lol.
too much stimulation inside my brain, gotta shut down now
Thank you Giorgio Moroder for discovering the click track and adding a beat to each click to help future genres of music to drown out any thoughts. unce-unce-unce-unce-unce-etc
Jokes on you, I was practically born with tinnitus and didn’t know it wasn’t normal until my mid-20’s so child me normalized the fuck out of it!
Also, no thoughts head empty is only attained by the brain shutting off because its too tired to keep up any threads, but forgets to close the eyes/get ready to be off (aka go to bed).
It takes immense practice, and I’ve found focusing on quiet music helps. It also helps if you like to practice Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming. You just ease into any thoughts that might come across.
The way I learned meditation is you’re not going to be rid of every single thought, so instead focus on sounds, focus on your breathin, be nice to yourself if a thougt does occur, and then try to focus back onto nothingness/w.e works for you.
30 minutes a day has really helped me feel more in control, when I can remember atleast.

It’s why I used to smoke weed until the panic attacks forced me to stop…
I just want to shut my brain off and I can’t.

Wait, are you actually supposed to be able to just stop thinking?
Some people do apparently. Me I’m like OP its a constant stream of thought. Evening as typing this I’m actively reading the words.

Have you tried drowning out every thought with extremely loud music? /s (don’t do this tinnitus sucks and it’s permanent)
Techno does this for me (but not no thoughts it just drowns out thoughts about things I’m not focussing on)
