Little trick I sometimes use:
If there's a thought that's annoying, I've tried practicing redirection instead of trying to explain the thought away internally.
Because thoughts tend to be easily interruptible... a simple repetition of "new thought" / "errr" (held for a few seconds) a few times can clear the previous thought.
If the thought is resisting redirection, playing YouTube at 1.75-2x speed (one could use incognito YouTube if the algorithm is being annoying in itself), and trying to follow the words seems to weaken the thought to the point it gets lost.
