1. pick sb's brains - it means to ask someone who has a huge range of information and knowledge about something, so basically we use this sentence when we need someone's opinion

2. take sb's mind off sth - it means to stop someone from worrying and bothering about something, for example a pain or problems, it is often preceded by forcing someone to think about something else

3. bring sth to mind - it means to remember something

4. slip one's mind - it means to be forgotten, something caused you forgetting about something

5. not thinking straight - it means to be unable to use your brain in an effective way, it is always an excuse for being tired

6. be in two minds about something - it mean to be torn between something, can't decide between options

7. think outside the box - it means to think in a creative and sophisticated way

8. rack your brain - it means to think about something very hard in order to remind yourself of something, for example someone's name

9. have sth on your mind - it means to be worrying about something, have plenty of issues to deal with

hope that helps :)
