Dwelling
Do you ever remember stuff that makes you feel stupid? Embarrassing moments, in particular? Something you said that may have been taken the wrong way? Laughing at something that you failed to realize until afterward was serious?
I remember that kind of thing waaaay too much. It might sound weird, but punching one hand into my palm so hard it hurts helps me stop mid-dwell. I punch my hand, switch to a new train of thought, and focus on only that new train of thought.
Whatever works, right?
I also remember that sort of thing far too frequently… and relive it… and feel the same emotions that I felt then but with the clarity that only time can provide.
I would also like to volunteer for punching you anytime you may need a “helping hand” with this sort of situation in the future. :P

Yeah, um… I’ll try really hard not to dwell at your house. >_>
