How do I stop thinking about death ?

I used to often think about death way too much. I found that something so beautiful, untamed, and mysterious as death should be something we think about every once in a while, but not obsess over. The journey and every day moments we share with ourselves and loved ones should be enjoyed and cherished. Death will have it's time, and when the day comes we will all discover it's true meaning. Until then find the ways to get the most out of the life you were given.

Think about your goals (if you think you haven't any, then figure it out) and busy yourself acheiving them. Then you'll have no time for thinking about death.

The same way you stop thinking about anything else--start thinking about something different that takes all your concentration. Also, pet a cat or dog if you're not allergic.

You can start filling your days with an activity, if you set your mind on that activity you'll get less bothered with those death thoughts.

Try thinking about something n your life that makes you truly happy, like someone or something that you hold very dear to yourself.

You can't force yourself to stop thinking about something- unfortunately, trying to stop thinking about something is its own cognitive process and therefore still centres your thoughts on that thing you want to stop thinking about. It's like the white bear. Being told not to think about it or trying to avoid thoughts of it will only bring you back to the white bear, and the white bear will be intrusive. The best thing you can actively do is try to occupy your mind with other things. That's not to say to swap one obsession with another. It's just that if you give your mind more things to occupy itself with, it won't find itself caught up on one debilitating thought, or set of debilitating thoughts about one thing.

Whenever i start thinking about death and i get all anxious, i start to try instead to think about life, the present and the future and all good that life will give me even though it may come some ups and downs now and then. It may also help to talk to someone about it.

I don't think we will ever stop thinking about death. We can distract ourselves from the thought by using coping skills. Coping skills are very important when it comes to distracting ourselves.

Read poems, read writings and articles. And then there's seven cups of tea. Connect with your friends and family, reconnect with old friends. Think about your highs in life.

To stop thinking about death, think the opposite way - to live. Do more things in life. Experience as much as you can.

Maybe you should start thinking about LIFE! Think about how you matter in this world, and your family, and friends, and your job.

Instead of thinking about death, think about ways in which to improve your life. Think about positive, exciting things that you have not done yet in life and hopefully, go out there and complete them. Find positive hobbies, such as painting, skating, or cooking. And if you do not know how to do any of those, find people who do and perhaps, you will not only learn a new hobby, but also gain a new friend. Life has so many rewards, so grab hold to them all and live a beautiful life! =) Stay encouraged!

By making myself busy, enjoying life, hanging out with my family, friends and my boyfriend. And also by giving thanks to God almighty for giving me a wonderful life.

Death is an inevitable part of life and we all have had such thoughts. Yes, we all are born and we all eventually die, that's how it works. However, death is not all there is. When such persistent thoughts arise you can try to distract yourself, recognize these thoughts, but don't concentrate too much on them; acknowledge them, accept them and let them go. Focus on what you love about life instead, even if it may be hard sometimes, there is always something good about life.

If you keep thinking about death, you will forget to live life. You will have regrets, and if there's one thing that you do not want to do, it is to die with regrets. Figure out how to live life, not as a distraction from death, but as a predecessor in the stages of life. Death is just a stage, one that may be bad or good, but also one that is not needed to be thought about right now. Remember that, it does not pertain to you while living life. Of course, death is there to scare you into the correct decisions, but it is not a threat, just a phase of what is already known.

By doing things that involve life and nature. Going on a hike, smelling the flowers, enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Observe what life has to offer and the beauty that comes with it. Spend time with people that love you and you love back. Do things that make you feel happy and enjoy. Remind yourself your place on this earth because that place is important. Try to journal out feelings and really dig deep to this feeling. Try to understand why that option seems to weigh so heavy on your heart. By doing these steps it may help you feel better.
