Do You Have Control Over Your Thoughts?
From a Buddhist perspective, thinking is a kind of action and that happens even before you say something out loud or move with your body. And so Buddhists take thought very seriously and I think that's similar in other traditions as well. People don't think that they have control over their thoughts but I found opposite to be the case for myself. If you intentionally try to think certain thoughts and intentionally try not to think other thoughts then that shapes the kinds of thoughts that you tend to have.
