This resonates with me as well. Using mindfulness terminology - acceptance without judgement.
My mindfulness teacher used an analogy that helped me a ton. He said to envision your thoughts as clouds in the sky, they are there, you can look at them, you cannot control them, and they will pass by. Sometimes when I'm meditating and really finding myself latching on to something in my head, I'll actively try to picture the thing in my head as a cloud passing by to let it go. Sort of like you might imagine sheep as you count them to sleep.
I've heard others use different analogies that help them as well.
