Body present. Mind absent.
Your mind wanders. Worries replay. Focus slips away.
DropIT is a simple 60-second practice to help you notice unwanted thoughts, let them pass, and return to what matters.

When racing thoughts and overthinking take over.
- One mistake replays all day — and nothing you did well seems to count.
- You're in the room, at the desk, with the people who matter. Your mind isn't.
- Four seconds on your phone. Forty minutes gone. You can't remember why.
- At night, when you most need rest, your mind speeds up instead.
That's not a focus problem. It's a thought you couldn't put down.
Three gates. One drop.
InletNotice it
A thought arrives. You catch it instead of following it.
InnerName it
A label, not a story. "Work worry." "Past loop." That's the distance.
OutletDropIT
Let it fall and return to what you were doing. The thought may come back — you practise returning.

Where it came from
From a leaking roof to a kitchen sink.
Kumasi, Ghana · age 11
Counting the drops
A storm tried to tear the roof off. Rain fell into buckets beside where I slept. I started counting the drops, found a rhythm, and my racing mind went quiet.
Canada · years later
A solid roof. The same restless mind.
One day I drove through a stop sign I knew well. My mind was running forty tabs at once. Two hours later, I backed into a parked truck in a lot I knew by heart. That day cost me my job.
Body present.Mind absent.
The kitchen sink
Notice it. Name it. Let it fall.
That same year, I went back to the one thing that had ever quieted it. I let a single drop fall from the tap and counted. When a thought came, I noticed it, named it, and let it fall. That became DropIT.
I can't promise it will work for you the way it worked for me. That's what the free session is for. Try it and see.

Why it might help
Noticing a thought and letting it pass without engaging it is close to what psychologists call cognitive defusion — loosening a thought's grip instead of suppressing it, which tends to backfire. DropIT itself hasn't been tested in a controlled trial.
An honest note on ADHD
The mental floods, the overthinking and the racing mind came first. Later I was diagnosed with ADHD, and when the prescription arrived, that was the moment I finally tried the sink. That was my personal choice, not advice for anyone else.
DropIT is not a cure for ADHD and not a replacement for medical care. It can sit alongside medication, therapy and your doctor's guidance — never instead of them.
