on one's mind
Weighing on thoughts
Occupying one's thoughts, especially persistently or worryingly.
Something on your mind is what you're thinking about or preoccupied with: What's on your mind?
I've had a lot on my mind lately.
The phrase often implies concern or distraction rather than casual thought.
To speak one's mind is different—that means to express opinions frankly.
