blank mind
Thoughts completely gone
A blank mind is the state of having no thoughts, either deliberately achieved through meditation or involuntarily experienced when unable to think clearly.
Someone might draw a blank mind when put on the spot, or seek a blank mind through mindfulness practice.
The phrase often describes mental emptiness from shock, exhaustion, or overwhelm: My mind went blank during the interview.
