Let It Pass

According to neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, an unresisted thought passes through the brain in 90 seconds. If you don't like a thought that pops into your brain at any given moment, rather than dwell on it, just let it pass.

Or, in the words of the late Rev. Ike, you can simply: “Tell your mind what to think.”
