Rumination

While reflecting on the past year is valuable for learning and setting exciting goals for the future, it’s essential to avoid slipping into rumination. Engaging in rumination stress can trap us in a cycle of negative thinking and rumination, where we overanalyze the past – something we cannot change – which can harm our wellbeing and contribute to anxiety and depressive moods. Self-reflection is crucial for growth, but when it turns into rumination, it can leave us feeling stuck. This week, we explore strategies to break free from negative thinking and foster positive self-reflection, cultivating a more optimistic mindset. #BeWell
