Once in a while, my mind tends to replay negative thoughts/situations. For e.g., say someone has said something disrespectful or threw an insult, the ego holds on to it, the event which should have been ignored, lingers on the mind for few more days. I'm very well aware during that time that the ego has taken over completely, but I find it difficult to tame it, I tried self enquiry, but the thoughts stop for few seconds and they again come back.

Any sources with practical examples and tips would be great. Online videos or content will also do.

I find it easy to learn and understand Vedanta intellectually but applying it in real life is something I struggle with, perhaps because my vasanas and samskaras are still too deeply ingrained to overcome. How do I go about this?
