I know the question is a bit vague, but I'm hoping people will interpret this however they see fit an give their own experiences.

To be honest, I'm struggling a bit with this right now and would enjoy reading others' experiences.

If you're stuck in your head get out of your head.

That is to say, if your thoughts are getting to you, you're in you're head. You need to do something that takes you out of your thoughts. What does that mean?

It means engage your senses, deliberately. Focus on your senses.

Huh?

Go for a walk in a park, go get some fancy cheese, listen to some good music, take a hot shower, and watch a new TV show, pick up a hobby.

Get your brain doing stuff it doesn't do. You'll build connections in your brain that will help take you out of your tunnel vision/ruminations.
