Good for you! As far as not thinking on the mother...well, I'm going to say what my T would say. She would reframe that and ask you what positive things you can add to your life this week rather than take away. It's always harder to focus on stopping a behavior/habit rather than focusing on adding something new. In other words, if you spend the whole day saying to yourself that you shouldn't think about watermelons, then you'll think about watermelons. However, if you focus on apples and bananas, then it will be easier not to think about watermelons. So, maybe you can take more walks, draw, write, make an extra effort to meet up with someone, read, etc. don't let your mind be idle...as that will lead to your mind wandering to thoughts you don't want. Actively engage your mind in what you want to do, say, think! Good luck!
