There is something you can do to shut down your thoughts. I have been practicing it a lot lately. Thoughts are usually a reflection of either the past or the future – usually worry over something. People spend so much time worrying in their lives, and for what reason? Worry never, ever changes anything. It only brings stress to your body.
The present moment is what can help you escape your thoughts. There are lots of ways to get in that mode. Breathing exercises, for example. (Or simply listening to what's around you right now.) Meditation was designed to quiet the thoughts in your mind.
Take deep, deep breaths. Concentrate on the feelings inside your body. Focus on your belly & the air being pushed in & out. – Do this every night before you sleep & it will become easier & easier over time.
(This concept of living in the present has changed my life recently, btw. If you're interested, I can recommend some books.)
