If you feel that you need to stop them from arising they'll probably keep coming, because trying to think thought away is like fighting fire with fire.
However, when you can allow them to arise and just observe them they will quiet down automatically.


And btw., I just remembered a great quotation from Wayne Dyer on the subject: "What you think of me is none of my business"
