Learning and practicing mindfulness in the framework of a cognitive therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT for short) has been the most useful approach that I have found so far. What it teaches you is that while you may not have complete control over your thoughts and feelings, you do have control over how you respond to them. A good starting place is the book "The Happiness Trap" by Dr. Russ Harris.
