Yeah, when my mind is going crazy I channel the sound of music and think of my favorite things. I know that sounds cheesy but I love some things so much that they can keep my attention. Like shiny keys for a baby. LOL
Just thinking about:
Trees (I love trees, strange I know)
Waterfalls
Streams
A certain person
Nature in general
Also, certain ideas/words/feelings I like, like:
Harmony
Tranquility
Serendipity
Also my favorite colors:
Deep dark red
Sunshiny yellow
Sunset oranges, reds, and yellows (sunsets themselves)
I can zone out going from word to word, idea to idea. And it feels good.
Good Luck
