    Gratitude is an awesome meditation, in addition to watching thoughts pass through. I use gratitude meditation when I’m feeling particularly nasty.

      Thats awesome! Thoughts passing through works well for me too. I dont really get gratitude meditation though. Maybe there‘s not a lot I‘m thankful for. :)

        That’s the point, shifting the focus from what’s wrong to what’s right. Eg

        Thank you body part that hurts, for doing what I ask you to do, even though you hurt.

        Thank you brain for functioning so I can plan and carry out my day, etc.

        Thank you for a roof today that shelters me. Thank you for food that nourishes me so I can live, etc
