Do as much as you can. Breathe, and then find something productive to do to push thoughts away. I know for me, I have begun to do this and it really helps. I know it kinda sounds harsh for me to say "just do other things" but really, if your brain has nothing to work on, it'll MAKE stuff to work on. So watching TV, listening to music even, they will only invite thoughts in. You almost have to think with your body so things like taking walks, getting involved in household stuff, that can really make your mind almost shut off in a way.. At least, that's what I've learned when it comes to myself.
