Yes!
Just as you recognize a TV show that is unwanted and unpleasant, then deliberately change the channel.
YOU hold the remote in your hand.
For one week, there is a simple technique: First thing in the morning when the first unwanted thought slips in,
raise your finger and say
out loud , "No", as if scolding your pet,"No." ('Do not go into the trash.')
Soon you just have to look at the pet with your finger and say nothing.
Then, it's just 'the look'.
It takes time to train your unwanted thoughts...keep saying , "No" to them.
You will see soon how you will no longer be tortured with emotions - and when
a thought floats in, you will whisk it away like a fly.
(And then you can help others.)
This creates new pathways in your brain...this is a researched fact by doctors.
*Ref: Neuroscientists Caroline Leaf, PhD, Candace Pert, PhD (Many books available.)
This is called Thought Control...google it and them for other techniques. :)
