gan - thanks for the noting suggestion. It sounds like a step further forward from mindfulness where instead of just watching your thoughts, you box them up.
No not boxing. Just acknowledging and moving on. You already acknowledge that they aren't serving you well ("I'm getting caught up with negative thinking which spirals out of control at times"). In the Headspace series, the technique is incorporated into the series called "Anxiety." He suggests that labelling thoughts or feelings as just that, brings a bit more distance to them so we don't feel quite so controlled by them. Google "noting meditation."
