There are many people who want to learn to control their mind.
You may want to stop thinking about an emotional failure or a "defeat" in business, as you have realized how focusing there does not benefit you. But everyone's question is how do we do it?

Unwanted thoughts are controlled
Unwanted thoughts can cause great frustration and anxiety, which makes it even more important to control them. Although in reality, you can not stop thoughts from "coming", you can change your perspective by changing the way you see them or rather the way you interpret them.
To do this, experts suggest:
Find the thoughts you want to change
It goes without saying that you need to understand what is in your mind and needs to change before you can finally do it.
Occasional intrusive thoughts are also very normal. They can be annoying, but they usually leave us as quickly as possible .. they "invade", especially when you consciously choose not to interact with them.
The power of acceptance
It is part of human nature to want to get away from pain, so of course you prefer to avoid thoughts that cause anxiety or discomfort. However, removing unwanted thoughts is not the way to gain control, as it usually makes them more intense.
Instead, try to do the opposite: Accept these thoughts and let them come. Notice this thought and complete it with a "and" or a "but", adding what you can do to change a situation that bothers you.
Focus on distractions
In some cases and when the thoughts are persistent, focusing on distractions can help redirect the thoughts and improve the situation. Some types of distractions may even boost motivation and productivity.
Some examples of positive distractions include:
Spend time with your loved ones.
Listen to soothing or refreshing music.
Walk.
However, make sure that you use distractions as a temporary break and not as a complete refusal or avoidance.
