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 finish a session and just move on without ever sitting down to name what actually worked and what didn’t
- I report that I missed it, we both nod, and then I go hit the exact same wall next week
- The calm I find on the cushion evaporates the moment I stand up and the day grabs me
- My notes are basically the book copied out in my own handwriting

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. - Debrief each session with a structured reflection
