how to get rid of introspection

   It's been a while since I've become familiar with the concept of "introspection" and I've been actually doing it since I was a little kid without even realizing it, it has been really helpful in understanding myself by observing how I react with other people and analyzing then determining the origins of my feelings which helps avoid getting depressed or sad and makes me more rational in my decisions. However, I have been introspecting more than needed lately, I have been focusing on myself too much that I can't focus on anything I'm doing, and it's getting worse by the minute. I tried hypnotizing myself but hypnosis was powerless against introspection, I feel like my mind is my enemy and I know I can't keep up like this, does anyone have any suggestions ?

I meant to add, also look into meditation.  In all forms of meditation you basically watch your thoughts as you drift away from whatever the form of meditation has you focusing on and then gently go back to the point of focus.  It can be helpful in demystifying your thoughts.

Try writing down your thoughts -- keep a journal, write a story, something that immortalizes the thought.  That might help get it out of your brain while still allowing you to enjoy the positive growth that comes from introspection.
