Have you read "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tollee?
I know that is a big problem for me and I've tried to overcome it with CBT but it has only worked temporarily. I'm actually doing a CBT course online at the moment and find myself scoffing at what it says and finding it all a little ridiculous. Really, I do want to take it seriously and try mentally slapping myself and focusing so I don't know what's wrong with me?
