Do you ever get stuck in “Would have. Should have” thinking? Do you replay past decisions or missed opportunities over and over again in your mind trying to change the situation? Is the ruminating wearing you out?
Excerpts from an article on HealthCentral.com:
"Ruminating is like wearing a constant groove in a record, you replay the same thoughts over and over until it is nearly impossible to stop."
"It is a constant barrage of “what if” thoughts which leaves us feeling paralyzed."
"Ruminating can include incessant worrying right at bedtime which keeps us up into the wee hours."
A book that I have read and highly recommend is:
"Ruminating is never healthy for us but there are degrees to which this worrying is detrimental for not only our mental health but our physical health as well."
"I believe some of us ruminate because it feels like a way to control uncontrollable events in our life. In the back of our minds perhaps we think that if we just worry some more, we will be able to solve the problems at hand."
To read the full article "How to stop ruminating" which includes several helpful suggestions, go to:
