Rumination is the mind stuck in a negative loop.

  • If I worry more, I’ll be planning for the worse case scenario.

    If I stopped judging myself, I’d stop performing well.

    I ruminate so much & have so many triggers that it’s hard to even imagine anything helping me stop.

  • Your mind is tricked into believing rumination is helpful. It’s not.

    While indeed rumination gets deeply ingrained & tied up in complex neural networks, the skills to step out of rumination are simple & effective.

  • ANGER RUMINATION - Stewing about a colleague’s negative character or actions

    SHAME RUMINATION - Churning over a mistake made over & over

    ANXIETY RUMINATION - Worrying about worst-case scenarios

Step out of the loop with self-kindness.
