    Depends on the form of meditation. For general, workplace-endorsed “mindfulness” meditation, you allow yourself to think whatever you think, but instead of reacting to it, you merely observe and acknowledge that you’re having that thought. You don’t let yourself get carried along with it though. You let it pass and let another thought come along, observing your own mind. Other types of meditation are about striving to think nothing, and it’s expected that you’ll fail, and take years to accomplish that after a great deal of practice.
