You can’t fully stop thoughts, but you can manage them by gently bringing your focus back to your breath or chosen point of attention whenever you notice your mind wandering. Over time, this practice helps reduce the frequency and intensity of distracting thoughts.

To quiet thoughts during meditation, gently acknowledge them without judgment, then refocus on your breath or a chosen anchor. Regular practice helps. Imagine thoughts as clouds drifting by, letting them pass without engaging. Over time, this approach cultivates a quieter, more focused mind.

Instead of trying to avoid your thoughts, become an observer. “Keep coming back to your mantra and your breath,” Snyder says. “Eventually and over time, more and more you'll find yourself in a peaceful, contented space of just being.”

In understanding disorder order comes naturally

Thought is the response of memory, so try to understand what is thought and how it takes place, because once you understand the begining then there is no need to control at all.
