When that happens the best course is that you just observe it happening but don't judge. Accept it and move on.
I really got into this. I have been using the "Mindfulness in Plain English" as a guide. I see there is already another thread about that very book...it's funny how similar we all are here, isn't it?
It's a challenge but I find it very helpful for getting out of my head and in the moment. At first it was extremely hard to go more than a split second without thought but it gets easier with practice. I try bringing this into everyday life whenever I can. It's helped me realize how much I was sabotaging myself with negative thoughts which really have no basis in reality.

If only you knew how bad things really are.
