So you know it is common with everybody not just with you. Why is the question? and why not is the answer. The simple reason being, we live, react, love, hate, gets angry all based on that little chattering happening without we really wanted to happen. The more you try to push it out, the stronger it pushes in, the stronger you try to get rid of it by concentrating on something else, you just end up in frustration. This is because of not able to understand the working of our mind. "The Mind" is a energy by itself. Its main duty is to keep you attached with its thoughts and make you to react. As your body is a combination of various organs and functions, your mind is a combination of various feelings, percetions, information, knowledge, names etc. To store knowledge in a PC, it uses header and footer(some binary codes), mind uses feelings. And to keep it relevant, it creates images by itself and also connects those with your self. I have more to say about it but, it will be lengthier.
Now, I will quickly tell how to stop that chattering of mind. First let me tell you, we are a by product of our habits also. So, some practice is required to replace one habit with another. The best way is "Insight Meditation". It is nothing but impersonally looking at your thoughts and seeing the thought arising, making chain of attachments and vanishing and picking up another thought before the completion of the first one. Also, notice the time gap between two thoughts. for eg: take anger. That is the easist to diagnose and look through. Then practice slowly other feelings also. Once you are a master to catch the mind before it makes you attached with it, you will slowly become a totally changed non-reactive person. To support that, you can also practice "Loving kindness meditation" which is therapeutic...All is there in internet....find out and be a self master...even irritation cannot irritate you.

Because you have an emotion attached to it. Which means you attract it. Another reason is that the mind processes in the positive. Say, "I don't like this song" and your mind erases the negative word. Hope this helps.

i think its because we actually hate that song, and can't let go of it that it gets stuck in there, there are a few songs i absolutely hate, and one singer who i cannot stand at all, my ex used to play the singer because he knew i hated him as a singer- i thought he was a whiner. the song i hate, has a catchy tune and you hear it on the radio all the time, i just turn the radio down so i can't hear it for about 3-4 minutes, then turn the radio back up.

I read ab this in a book once, tht if any thought comes in ur mind, continue that and try to complete tht thought, dont leave it in half. Cos if u leave tht in half, it will come again n again till it gets complete. So its better to complete and file it and throw it away. u can msg me if u dnt understand this.
