Do things you enjoy: Trying to stop annoying thoughts can actually lead to "thought-rebounding, " which makes things worse in the long term. Pursuing other interests and personal goals, and spending more time on these activities will ultimately leave less time for thinking about the celebrity. If you're worried that you might do more than just think about the celebrity, make an appointment with a mental health pro.
