Hey, it's not _you_ who's doing this! It's not _because_ you think about it, that you stutter. You just have a stutter! That's what makes you stutter. :) You can think about it or not - it doesn't make a difference of the sort you suggest here. But if you feel bad when you think about it, perhaps it would be good to - "not worry about it", as you would say. And really, there's nothing *to* worry about. I mean, sure, perhaps you'll stutter, but you already knew that. So there's no surprise there. The only reason you'd be worried about speaking is if you're afraid of stuttering. So don't be afraid! Just - "talk and ignore your blocks", as you would say. :)
