Do you use mental labelling?

Maybe as a way of dealing with the hindrances, maybe as a way of developing mindfulness and insight?

These are more than just labels and so have more effect.
This is really distancing the mind from clinging to mental phenomena.
Not as often as I like, but more and more often. I'll find a thought arising or find myself daydreaming, and the second the counter-thought arises of this being conditioned phenomena that is not-self (and suffering to identify with), it all drops away without any fuss.
