Okay this is one of those wierd "How do I erase My Memory of that" Q's?

Question

When your bored do you ever think of something (which i will not say) to much like the same old thing all the time. How can I train myself to think differently I know its not gonna happen overnight but I want to think different (not be a different person but just stop thinking about the one stupid thing all the time!) -I will not say what here because its sort of embarrasing..I'll leave it at that.

Answer 1

I use to get stuff I didn't want to have to think about stuck in my head all the time. I found that I needed distraction, try to think about something fun and exciting. The key word in your question is BORED, easy yet hard solution, don't get bored. Always have something to do or someone to talk to around. Make up stories or ideas for fun things to do with your friends instead of thinking of un wanted thoughts. If you cant distract yourself with activities because you're suppose to be paying attention to something that bores you, find a fun pen or something to fiddle with and think about instead.

Answer 2

It sounds like you're talking about repetitive thoughts that you can't get out of your head, like thinking, "I want that in red, I want that in red, I want that in red," over and over. I can relate because I have suffered from this since I was a child, and I'm now 40. I have never been able to completely conquer it, but I can manage it by purposely and deliberately thinking about something else or even singing a song or by reading a book when it starts to bother me. These thoughts are anxiety-induced, which is why they are obsessive, so when you are going through hard times or when you are upset it will be worse. Good luck!

P.S. Some of my repetitive thoughts are embarassing too, but the good news is that no one can read our minds!

Answer 3

go but an ipod, listen to it, be happy.
