ליקוטי מוהר''ן חלק א' פרק ע''ב
One thing Rav Nahman said was that when one prays often thoughts come that mess up one's prayer. Often you find people tht shake their head and do all kinds of odd motions to get rid of evil thoughts. He said that does not help and in fact just the opposite. The more one fights against them the more they get stronger. The only advice is to ignore them completely and just continue in one's service. I find this advice to be helping me in other situations besides prayer, for example learning.
