- theshrike79 4y agoMight be a bit world-huggy, but here goes: Accept the unpleasant thoughts, but don't dwell on them. One advice I got was to give yourself a set amount of time for unpleasant thoughts or worrying. After that you can let it go and move on. The most important bit is noticing when you're just thinking in circles without any extra input, that's the route to anxiety and depression.
