This Week's Practice: Label Your Thoughts

Start by bringing attention to your breath -- noticing all the sensation of inhaling and of exhaling. Whenever a thought arises, give it a one-word label -- for example, “judgment,” “planning,” “fear,” “remembering,” “re-playing,” etc. Then return to attention to the sensations of breathing.
