Try a type of exercise that gets you out of your head. Jogging isn't going to cut it unless you're sprinting ridiculously hard. For me, it's heavy weights or technical mountain biking. For mountain biking I really cannot take my focus off the trail or it could mean a really bad wreck. Of course, if I don't change up the trails enough my mind can even wander during that.

As others have mentioned, meditation may help too. It'll help you learn how to let thoughts go without obsessing. So, everytime you catch yourself following down the programming thought path you need tell yourself "HEY, it's time to turn my attention elsewhere". Just like physical exercise you'll build the brain pathways to do this more easily the more you practice.

Lastly, maybe you just need to take some time off. I find if I'm gone from work for a few days all that stuff fades away while I'm doing other things.

Agreed, Crossfit has been remarkably helpful for this. It's a group setting combined with movements that require focus on strength, coordination, and socializing.
