Ruminating is common to many of us, but can spell bad news for your mood and anxiety . Here’s how to beat it As a therapist, I see people literally thinking their lives away. They exist in their heads, listening to the constant chatter of: “What’s happened? What might happen? What if I do this? What if I don’t do that?” The mind will replay events , will forecast events, predict possible outcomes – and it isn’t always helpful.
What is rumination? Put more simply, to ruminate is to think deeply or to overthink. It’s a well-known psychological state and common to many of us – I’m certainly not exempt from it..
