A great remedy for annoying thought or overly critical thoughts is a quote from Upasni Maharaj
“Think of everyone as God” . This I have found to be a very transformational thought to help overcome some mind issues in particularly related to annoying parts of life or people.
If God is everything and one indivisible self then we all exist within this oneness according to many spiritual masters. Our Mind is what separates us from being one, both thinking and feeling minds, heart and mind. So by imagining everyone as God it instantly removes this separation caused by the troublesome mind. Try it and see what happens.
