“You can’t not think about what you try not to think about” – Chris Howard

The very act of trying not to think about something, forces you to think about it, which in turn, means you are thinking about it. When you have something that you do not want to think about, don’t try to suppress your thoughts. Instead, take a good look at the thought and realize the lesson it is trying to teach you.  Then, simply ignore the thought and purposefully focus on something else. When you do this the unwanted thought will fade away.
