No no no. Don't work harder to block the thought. Trying to block intrusive thoughts, like trying to use logic on them, feeds them. They live on energy, like one of those Star Trek beasties.

Pegasus is right. Or you might look into the DBT strategy.

My real favorite, if I can manage it, is to laugh at them. Intrusive thoughts just hate to be laughed at, or taken lightly. They shrivel like a flower out of water.
