Meditation is broad on possible styles. Mindfulness being on of the simplest practices to explain and practice. We're all experiencing mindfulness all the time, we just haven't become aware of it yet, or we judge ourselves to harshly, "That was to simple, I can't be doing it right."
What you describe is a analytical type of meditation where you step back from the stimulus of a thought and accept that it happened and caused you to feel a certain way and if it reflects reality or not. This is a wonderful meditation practice that you can use to make good change in your brain. You are more mindful then you give yourself credit! :)
