I read that you are starting mindfulness training. One of the best resources on getting started is an app called Headspace.
In a nutshell, it's not about reframing, controlling, ignoring, or stopping our thoughts.
It's about changing our relationship with them. It's about being present with those thoughts, not resisting them but not letting them carry you away either.
When we change how we relate to them, we alter (not get rid of) the intensity of our emotions.
