Why We’re Going Over the Same Thoughts Again and Again & How to Stop Ruminating


Listen Later

Ever find yourself stuck in a mental loop, going over the same thoughts again and again?

  • What if I…
  • I’ll never be able to…
  • I’m not good enough to…

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

These are just some of the negative thoughts people become obsessed with over time. It might seem like overthinking, but it’s actually rumination - running a thought over and over again in your mind.

Constantly thinking about something, like your anxiety symptoms, might even feel comfortable or productive. You have the illusion of working on solving it, but it actually keeps you stuck, like being on a hamster wheel.

In this episode, I talk about the nature of rumination so you can better understand it and learn how to break this habit.

Tune in to find out why we fall into this trap and, more importantly, how to escape the mental loop you’re in.

Let’s dive in!
