The Labelling Technique – Attention Practice

When a thought pulls you, give it a simple label and come back.

Feel gravity: let your weight drop into your feet or the seat. Feel your weight being held by the seat or the ground.

Choose a steady point to look at.

Wait for a thought to pull you.

Give it a label: "planning", "worry", "past". Only the label, no analysis.

Come back gently to the steady point.
