Songs stuck in your head

"Masquerade", both Leon Russell and The Carpenters. At the same time. Beautiful song, but seriously. I'm actively working to make it stop.

The instrumental version of "I can see your tracks" by Laura Veirs runs through my head often enough it could be my theme song.

Thanks @mote.of.soul I can always benefit from a reminder to use mindfulness.

Can I ask how you actively practice mindfulness yourself? With me I kind of go "Oh here is that thought again" and acknowledge it without judgement. Then I try to move onto another internal dialogue.

Yes, I use that method as well, at times @Discombobulated. It is helpful in letting thoughts go.

And I also use it during very stressed out times by bringing my awareness onto the process of breathing, focusing on my breath and also on my body, staying relaxed and composed. Otherwise I have a tendency to be impulsive and act without first thinking things through.

Sometimes it's one I like but not always, it tends to happen when I am feeling a little stressed or anxious. It's not usually welcome and very hard to tune out from it. Often it's not even the whole song just a bit of it, the hook usually.

I have this happened to me plenty of time.
