DESCRIBE
When you describe, you put what you notice into words.
This will help you understand yourself and share what you noticed with others!
You can remind yourself that a thought is just a thought, and a feeling is just a feeling.
When you label thoughts as thoughts and feelings as feelings, it helps you remember that thoughts and feelings are not facts.
Mindfulness
Using the Describe skill helps you
 name your feelings
 say what you notice out loud
 use words to label what you notice
Example:
I notice myself thinking, “No one likes me.”
The Describe skill helps me remind myself that this is a thought, and a thought is not a fact.
The Describe skill helps you use words for the things you noticed with the Observe skill.
