You cannot stop thinking about something by trying really hard not to think about it. You can only decrease its attention in your life by focusing on something else. There are a lot of ways to put your attention on more peaceful, calming thoughts. You can also put your attention on exciting, inspiring positive thoughts. It requires a commitment.

Here’s a way to replace it with a different thought: I like to use a three-minute drill. I set a three-minute timer and each time it goes off, I immediately immerse myself in that simple fulfilling positive wonderful thought. Then I reset the timer, over and over. It sounds like an obsession, and yes, it is, and it works. Eventually, the Universe cannot escape my intent with that thought, and it becomes my belief and it manifests. Think of how well this works for a three year old who asks, “Daddy, can you buy me that new toy” one hundred times in a row. It works pretty well, doesn’t it?

The best part is that there will be no room for the thing you didn’t want to think about.. you probably forgot about it already, just reading this. I suggest a thought like this: I am thankful for my ability to focus so fully on a thought or idea:  and this thought is empowering me to be free and fly!

It takes a bit of practice, it might feel clumsy at first, but keep doing it and doing it. It will work.
