I do not try and control the thought or get mad at it,  I just always go back to my breathe. If I want to think about something specific I usually chose to focus on the things I am grateful for. I had a traumatic experience early in life and I spent a lot of quiet time focused on it and focused on the \u201cwhy me\u201d mentality.
