> However, some people experience too much metacognition/reflection and that is actually correlated with depression/anxiety.

There's an uptake, that's missing from the article. You can, and you should, every now and then (every month? every week? every quarter? you pick) go back and review your entries.

Reviewing your past entries might actually help you get awareness about the excess of metacognition/reflection.

Not only that: reading old entries about stuff that give you anxiety but after the dust has settled, can help you see the distortion in your own thinking.

It's weird that reviewing isn't mentioned in that article.
