Practices that may help
- Noting Practice, Made Practical
Noting practice — a technique from the Mahasi Sayadaw Vipassana tradition — involves silently labeling each mental event as it arises: "thinking," "hearing," "sensation," "planning." The label creates a brief gap between experiencing and reacting, training the observer stance that is the foundation of emotional regulation. It is mechanistically well-grounded and aligns with the "affect labeling" research in social neuroscience, though noting-specific clinical trials are limited. - 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.
