Another boundary your brain needs is the ability to let things go in order to return to work. This is called “barking” management.
Does your dog bark hours, days, months, or years after another dog walks past your yard? He drops the event as soon as it’s over like it never happened. But that’s not what humans do. We keep barking. We hang on to the event, and that’s what causes our stress—but we don’t have to.
Hanging onto stress is rumination. We can play a big role in shutting down this ancient reflex by managing the thoughts in your brain.
