Stray thoughts meaning thoughts that you don't intentionally bring in your mind. Is there a way to train yourself to the point that no stray thoughts come in your mind?

From experience, I'd say its a difficult thing to do but can try the following:
Keep your mind busy.You need to have something occupying your mind at all times.It is when you go blank that stray thoughts creep in.
The other thing you can do is sleep.You fall asleep when you're not thinking about anything.You can say a prayer between the time you clear your mind of all thoughts and the time you fall asleep. Good luck.

It is not possible, nor, do I think, desireable to prevent stray thoughts from entering your mind. It is important to recognize those thoughts though, and to keep them from controlling you.
The thought comes, you recognize it, evaluate it, and let it go.
The reason I say you might not want to prevent these thoughts is that they can be inspiration. Creative impulse, scientific discovery, acts of kindness...they are all born of "stray thoughts".
Where do these "stray thoughts" come from? Is someone feeding them to you? Do they come from books, TV, parents... or are they from within you?

Nope. Part of life. Everyone daydreams.

i would think that you would have to " block" them out by constantly focusing on any selected thought .....like a positive affirmation.....unfortunatly the committee is always chattering...
