I use to and sometimes still have this problem. I use to think that thoughts were uncontrollable until I spoke with a counselor.

You can't really control thoughts in your head. What you can do is divert the thought to different thought. So praying or reading the Bible might help, but you have to actually force yourself to focus on that thought.

Walking or some other activity could be helpful too. You just need to occupy your mind with something else. The hard part is finding the something else to occupy your mind with.
Thank you.

I was just wondering what I should do about anxious thoughts but didn't want to make another thread.
