Mind is like food when you are on a diet.
Minimize consumption but do not condemn it.
Do not condemn it as you are living on it.
Just make sure you consume moderate quantities. Only the essential and for the proper reasons.
Constantly verify that the reason you eat is pure nutrition and not out of other needs such as gratification of some mental desires, boredom, anxiety, depression and addiction.
Make it a habit to fast from time to time. Such fasting is called meditation. When you fast, observe your compulsive desire to think.

Use mind, don't let mind use you
As Eckhart Tolle, who appears to be one of the wisest people on earth right now once said: Currently mind uses you. Reverse it: Use mind, don't let mind use you.
Use it only when you truly need mind, the same rule as with your cell phone, computer, etc.
use mind -- let mind does not use you
Good thought.
Look our mind is always projected outwards.
The rule should be
the body is absorbed in prana
prana in mind
mind in intellect
intellect in anand or bliss
and finally bliss in atman or the soul.
We are just reversing this. Hence we are becoming a slave of our mind.
let us understand who this I or the soul is.
Others will become crystal clear.
Mental bulimia
One of the most severe neurosis of mankind. A car engine in neutral that refuses to stop. Also among spiritual people. They will analyze analyze analyze but will not dare to sit silently even for 5 minutes a day, still, without a move, with no mind.
Thinking is an addiction
This perfect allegory proves that all addictions are the same and thinking is one kind of addiction. The mental process that is involved with addiction is more or less the the same regardless of the addictive external object: Thinking, eating, alcohol, drugs.
