For the sadhak it is best practice to find a way when the thoughts are persistent and recurrent. If we have the awareness while thoughts keep coming in succession, it is a good practice to start naam-smaran loudly or pray to God and ask for His help and grace. If we experience the recurrent thoughts in spite of naam-smaran then we can recite our favorite devotional song and get absorbed in it or think and contemplate about it. If this does not succeed, then we can remember and think about the saint that we believe in. Somehow we must find a way to free our selves from this persistent and recurrent thoughts. If we fail to do so, then these kind of thoughts will do its work ( hindrance in our life and sadhana) and we will live in fool's paradise.

My two cents --
One of my friends mentioned that writing down your recurrent thoughts on a piece of paper repeatedly works as well in this situation. She could find the root cause of these thoughts and deal with it.
