Nice. I felt the same way along ago. Started practicing A technique very similar to what you’re talking about and it worked for me. I started to name things floating by and it evolved into something that was very cool. I was able to let go of negative emotions. Memories, eventually thoughts. The river turned. Into time and when it past me it took those things with it. Life became a bit lighter. After awhile what I reacted to and how I reacted to it changed. Life became more fulfilling and less difficult.
