I tend to be anxious and obsess about things. I meditate and the following is a quote about thoughts that come in during meditation. I like to remind myself of this for times other than during meditation when I let obsessive thoughts and worries torment me.
Leave your front door and your back door open. Allow your thoughts to come and go. Just don't serve them tea. Shunryu Suzuki Of course, in addition to serving them tea I have a tendency to invite those obsessive thoughts to sit down for a three course meal.
