Exactly. Change mindset is the key.

A change of focus yeah. The more you try to remove the bad thought, you are strengthening its cords. Just change the mind focus on something opposite. Some good.

Absolutely true every time. Let the good thought do the job. The best thoughts to think are in Phi 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.
