I think you explained it well. That "busyness" is part of my life. I also stop here and there but the mind doesn't stop churning. It never used to bother me until lately. You ask what has helped me the most, whatever it is it would surely have to do with this.
In my case, what I found doing wonders is to just turn my mind off and as in times of old start praising God with all I've got. I am a believer, so that may have something to do with it, but it works great. The longer I do it, the better things get to be.
I am not talking about a selfrighteous admonition that "you gotta praise the Lord". It is more like a matter of fact, like an experiment that produces that result - every time. It is not the screaming and toungues and all of that. It is more like the mind simply yielding to the praises and standing aside in awe just surrenders. Sorry but I cannot explained it otherwise.
I am not out of the woods but this has helped me tremendously.
