You have me laughing!!!! .... 
I am sooo glad we can exchange with a good and shared sense of humor.... and that we practice Tolerance, and Love.
There are some HEAVY weights in the air right now, Love&Light.
I too have come under some burdens and challenges recently, and I'm trying to come back from that again.
Quote: Any tips on how to control spontaneous thoughts?
When I read that, this scripture (from my own personal expression of Belief) immediately POPPED into my head ...
Bringing each 'thought' into the captivity of Christ... 2 Corinthians
Let go of it as much as you can. Drop entertaining or acting-on any of the cluster of pixels or images that form which are NOT consistent with your own selected 'Personal Highest Ideal' (Higher Vision, Higher Power, What you Love, Whom you emulate, What you aspire to, How you want to mold and see yourself to be, now and in the future).
Like modeling clay around a sculpture or form....?
Loose Thoughts can act like wads of clay.... and you can select and use these to build something you want in your life.
And to using this metaphor/image in a Spiritual form here (as I know you are an aspirant)?
Keep it moist (with tears of longing, supplications and Expectations and prayers), and Be Willing to be spun, and molded and changed on The Heavenly Cosmic Potter's Wheel.
We are His spinning-plates, His whirling dervishes?!!... staying ever-tuned to Him in Cosmic Rhythms, Pulses and Beats--- Feeling Gratitude and Praise for The Excellency of ALL His Exquisite Inherent Beauty and Perfections-- Arms full out, Our Minds as one United with His.
Back on earth here.... LOL
'The realization' that this thought you just had is 'not your norm' is a huge awareness to have. Some people get mired in this.
Quelling anxieties, -- Lovingly, just let it inform you (if there be anything of value to say); remain Forward with a strength of knowing that this is 'not-mine' and 'not consistent with my Values and what I want to possess in my life'... Urge yourself to remain detached from the menu selections generally (the various thoughts) that you don't wish to identify with in your future...
Allow whatever it is that does not belong to you, to wash itself off with Light, cleaning you off as in a waterfall. What remains, is what God may be electing to Use next to build and fashion your life.
And!! just well
... LOL!!! Remember to just get silly and laugh, and get rowdy and have Fun! Shake off the energy of those thoughts.
Add Fun, have Fun-- and HAVE A BLAST?!!! roflmao

We Belong To Him *Heart* .....
