Do you think in "tropes" a lot and can't get them out of your head?

Can you give more examples?

They’re called heuristics, everyone uses them. Depending on how you use them they can even be useful, so long as you don’t confuse them with reality. It’s just a mental image.

The mind is like your body, you need to train it. Either do something to get your mind off it or realize you can redirect your thinking. Or talk to a professional.

What helps me with thoughts that I do not want to have: make up something that you will think about whenever an unpleasant thought comes up. You recognize the unwanted thought and actively think about whatever is your "default distracting thought".

Your "default distracting thought" can be anything. It can even be couting to 20.
