1. You don't. Like any other thought, it is always there to think. It is up to you to refocus if you do not desire to focus on it. 2. You give in. Let it consume you. And then let it leave you. Don't spend time there looking beneath each rock, but observing as if from a moving train, behind glass. The lynch/felinni movie changes from 1st to 3rd person, and you can reframe the mindset. 3. Behaviors aren't erased,but replaced. Find a replacement feeling/thought/action. One that is always appropriate. 4. Install the new behavior. Find the trigger, then find a new trigger that reliably happens before the original one. You reroute behavior, not actually replace it. 5. Run the path, make a trail. Starting just by imagining yourself achieving outcome. Then 'make' yourself veer toward the old behavior and notice the new behavior begin to take over. 3 times confidently is the magic number. 6. Revisit after a while. All installed automatic processes need to be reviewed as your life changes. Behaviors are only good or bad in relation to the environment. A new location, or stage of life, needs new programming. 7. Laugh. Everything is only as meaningful as you make it. There is fleeting joy in existance. Do something stupid, that you love, and just awash in it. The hedonists aren't on the path to nirvana, but they sure get closer than the stoics.
