The impulses are all at surface levels. Thus the impulse to stop the impulses only gets you so far. Impulses seem to eminate from the language level of thought with lots of help from the ego. Scientists have tried to prove that thought 'occurs' in language with limited success.
Much of the 'mind chatter' is not yours but caused by external programming. My personal opinion is that even the part that is yours is not worth much. So, just let it all implses cease.
Most meditators I talked to eventually experience a more abstract mind without churn and without language. All that 'stepping through logic' and 'spewing of possibilities' goes away. Action the seems to be spontaneous, not following a long dialog or string of choice. This trick to make that your default resting state of being.
Fear not, I know of no recorded cases of not being able to 'restart' thinking after too much quieting.
