I used to struggle hugely with intrusive thoughts.
For me personally tackling them introspectively or trying to be mindful never worked... distracting myself with external things helped and now my O.C.D. is finally under control. It only gets bad when I'm super stressed out now.
But of course, everyone should take whatever approach works for them. People reportedly say mindfulness and therapy or other techniques can help treat their O.C.D. successfully, for example.
