@iwillbite you notice you had your thought and then go back to focusing on whatever you’re focusing your attention on during your meditation on, most typically your breath but I like body scans personally. You can do the same with any thought, sensation, emotion, etc, simply acknowledging it as it arises and focusing your attention elsewhere. I remember a quote from a book that helped me with this concept—you’re not your thoughts, but rather the thinker of your thoughts
