Once a thought appears in your mind it is there. I suffer from racing thoughts. One second it is oranges, next second it is cars, next it is something else. Believe me when I say I would rather think like you. The easiest way to stop this from happening is to have a prepared thought ready to invade your mind. Like a song. Sing it in your head. Think of a movie you enjoyed. Think about anything but oranges. Have your plan ready to go into action, plan it out, and be ready for it at all times.

You have way, way, way too much time on your hands.

imstead of thinking "right! im not gonna think of *insert object*" think "hmmm...lets think about *insert totally unrelated object*"

it works sometimes, sometimes the rule that you shouldnt think of something takes over.

Yeah, like in the movie Ghostbusters, Zule tells them that they will choose the form of their destroyer, so they all say "OK, clear your minds..." Then Zule says "The form has been chosen right after Peter says that. Ray thought immediately of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
