Stepping Out of Rumination or WorryUse our guide by tapping each step below: STEP 1: Figure out if your thinking is helpful Take a quiz self-assessment to figure out if your thinking is unhelpful rumination or worry. STEP 2: Identify your triggers The more we ruminate, it becomes conditioned to different situations, moods, people, context cues, times of day, that in turn trigger more rumination. Learn to identify your triggers. STEP 3: Label your rumination Simply saying, “This is rumination” can pull us out of the negative loop. STEP 4: Validate yourself It’s stressful to get stuck in cycles of rumination. Learn to give yourself the supportive words you need to hear in the moment. STEP 5: Get into your senses & out of your head! Try guided practices for throwing yourself into your physical senses - sensory awareness is literally incompatible with rumination. BACK
