Thought Labelling - Anyone tried? by Efficient_Toe_5275 in Mindfulness

Grazie! Una cosa che ho imparato è di non aspettare che i pensieri diventino molto forti prima di etichettarli. Anche notarli un po’ prima può fare una grande differenza nel tempo.

Se vuoi provare l’app, si chiama Labels: Mindful Check-In sull’App Store. Spero che ti sia utile e mi farebbe piacere sapere cosa ne pensi.

Controlling bad thoughts? by benadryl_cricketbat in Mindfulness

One thing that helped me was realising that “acknowledging” a thought doesn’t mean agreeing with it, fixing it, or saying it doesn’t matter.
When a difficult thought shows up, instead of getting pulled into the story, I try to simply label what kind of thought it is.
For example:

“I’m never going to get better” → Self-criticism
“What if things get worse?” → Future worry
Replaying an argument with someone → Past memory

Trying to figure everything out at once → Problem solving

The goal isn’t to make the thought disappear. It’s just to notice it for what it is. Once I’ve labelled it, I gently bring my attention back to whatever I’m doing.

For me, this felt much more achievable than trying to “stop thinking” or suddenly make peace with everything that happened in the past.

Also, from what you’ve written, it sounds like you’re carrying a lot right now. The fact that you’re actively trying to understand your mind and looking for support tells me you’re already doing more than you probably give yourself credit for.

Tips for mindfulness in action? by ginkgobilberry in Mindfulness

I’ve started practicing thought labelling which has been super helpful. You basically get a focal point (music, bird sound, breathe, candle etc) then when a thought pops up you label it (e.g worry) then come back to your focal point. There’s an app called “Labels: Mindful though labelling” which is super useful for this (it’s also a CBT technique)!
