At the risk of sounding a little odd I have found "worry beads" to be a good thing to use to quiet my mind.I don't use actual beads though. I have two small stones I picked up on the beach a million years ago and I move them around in my hands.
Very useful to stop eating in front of the TV, quit smoking (did that using these same stones some 35 years ago), etc. This only works when I'm sitting.
