Try and think about other things. Your hobbies, family, plans or anything to distract your mind for awhile. The more positive the better, but any distraction is better than none.

By enjoying and appreciating life. This world has so many beautiful things to offer, even in it's seemingly most mundane days. The rise and fall of the sun. The glow of the moon. Rainfall against a window. A smile from a stranger. By focusing on death, you truly miss the beauty that comes with life. You'll have all eternity to think about death, but only a handful of years to live your life.

Death is one of those things that most people try to avoid thinking about completely because it can be uncomfortable and depression or anxiety inducing. It does tend to help to have distractions like hobbies or TV shows to get really into just to keep your mind occupied with something else.
I personally wouldn't recommend trying to completely avoid thinking about death altogether, though. Your experience is surely different from mine and everybody else's with this topic, but sometimes it's best to try and find a way to reach acceptance with something instead of pushing it down. This way, when you DO end up thinking about it again (because nobody can avoid the thought forever), while it might be a bit nerve-wracking, it might not affect you as much.
I hope some of this helps.

Get distracted by doing new things that interests you. Talk to your friend often or anyone on your close family member which you are comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions.

I don’t think that one can completely stop thinking about death. It’s a natural part of life- but there comes a point where it consumes your day-to-day lifestyle and that is when you look for other things to attract your attention. For me when I would constantly think about something I would distract myself by reading a good novel or playing at the park with my dog. Eventually your life will fill with things that you would much rather think about than death. Writing a book is always my favorite. I am obviously not going to become a famous author but thinking about your possible new characters and their lives allows you to think and plan something and see an end result- which also gives you a sense of pride seeing your finished product.

I had been thinking about death for the past week and I finally found a way for me to stop thinking about death. It's as simple as making your own afterlife that seems reasonable to you. This solution is mainly for atheists, such as myself. I can see people believing in god use this method, but they usually stick to what their religion says. If you come up with your own afterlife then it should make you feel better, even if you know it's probably fake. Just make sure it's at least reasonable and makes sense for you. My afterlife thought would be that after we die, we are all in a "paradise". After we enjoy that paradise after a long period time, we have the permission or chance to make our own universe, like a game, and live through it, and the only downside is that you don't know you are the creator. Another thought I hear is that this life is just a simulation or VR game. This is probably inspired by that one Rick and Morty video.

First of all figure out why you think about death so much. Then once you've figured that out, you should be able to think of a solution to it. If however, it something more morbid that regards your health, you should speak to a doctor or a therapist.

Death is a thing that no one can escape no matter how hard we try and it will always be a lingering thought in the back of our minds. But excessive dwelling on this may lead to feelings of despair or even depression and that's a path you don't want to go down. Try talking to a close friend or professional about this
