Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Noting has become second nature and now I’m curious about the one doing the noticing itself
- I keep straining to "get into" a meditative state like awareness is something I have to switch on and aim
- The second something goes even slightly wrong I slap a "that was bad" on it, and the judgment tightens me up so much I can’t even see what actually happened
- The instant I notice a feeling I’m already attacking myself for it
- Whenever I try to be present I end up grading myself
Practices that may help
- Advanced noting — noting the act of noting itself
Turn attention to the process of noting itself, observing who is doing the labeling and whether the "noter" is also a mental event.
Noting Practice, Made Practical - Non-Dual Awareness, Made Practical
Non-dual awareness is a mode of consciousness in which attention is no longer exclusively identified with the contents of experience (thoughts, sensations, feelings) but rests as the open, aware space in which those contents appear. Loch Kelly’s "effortless mindfulness" approach uses short recognition exercises to shift into this mode; research on the broader open-monitoring family of practices finds reductions in anxiety and rumination, though non-dual awareness itself is a newer research area with limited controlled trials. - Glimpse practice: a 10-second recognition of aware space
Pause, drop the question "What am I aware of?" and simply notice that awareness is already on.
Non-Dual Awareness, Made Practical - Replace judgment with non-judgmental awareness

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - Shift identity from self-concept to awareness itself
Experiment with "I am the aware space" rather than "I am my thoughts and feelings."
