“continue” in cursor.forEach()

I’m building an app using meteor.js and MongoDB and I have a question about cursor.forEach().
I want to check some conditions in the beginning of each forEach iteration and then skip the element if I don’t have to do the operation on it so I can save some time.

Here is my code:

// Fetch all objects in SomeElements collection
var elementsCollection = SomeElements.find();
elementsCollection.forEach(function(element){
  if (element.shouldBeProcessed == false){
    // Here I would like to continue to the next element if this one 
    // doesn't have to be processed
  }else{
    // This part should be avoided if not neccessary
    doSomeLengthyOperation();
  }
});

I know I could turn cursor to array using cursor.find().fetch() and then use regular for-loop to iterate over elements and use continue and break normally but I’m interested if there is something similiar to use in forEach().
