Getting Unstuck From Sticky Thoughts
Have you ever had a seemingly irrational thought or worry get stuck in your head no matter how hard you tried to ignore it?

You can reflect on your new favorite podcast, that funny TikTok video, a conversation you had with your best friend, or what you’re having for lunch (that’s probably what I’m thinking about). But whatever you do, DON’T think about a POLAR BEAR.
How long did you last (I’m guessing not very long)?
