Games to calm your mind

Some days your head will not slow down. A quiet game can help you come back: something slow, with soft colours and no way to lose.

Breathe in a square for one minute. Sit in a room where it rains. Pop bubbles until your shoulders drop. These are little games, not medical care. They are just a kinder place to point a restless mind than another feed.

Questions people ask

Do games help you calm down?

Slow ones can help you shift gears. A breathing square or a rain room gives your mind one simple thing to hold onto for a minute. That is often enough to slow the spin.

What can I do to distract my mind?

Give it one small job. Pop every bubble on a sheet. Follow a breath for four counts. A tiny task with a rhythm works better than more scrolling.

Are these a treatment for anything?

No. They are small games, nothing more. If your mind is heavy in a way that will not lift, talk to someone you trust.
