I’ve read about a meditation method of classifying thoughts, but a fast search hasn’t turned up anything about it. The classification system has to be simple enough to not be a distraction, possibly something like “thought, sensation, memory”. Anyone seen or tried that sort of thing?
I’ve experimented with thought-labeling; it didn’t seem to do anything for me that observing my thoughts without labeling them didn’t do. I forget the exact scheme I used… something like “hope, fear, regret, memory, sensation, emotion, thought”, which is probably more complex than I’d recommend.
