Rumination: Exercises - Deepstash

Rumination: Exercises

We must interrupt the rumination cycle.

  1. Change Your Perspective: think of the events from an external POV, and focus on the why, more than on the how it happened.
  2. Distract Yourself from Emotional Pain by engaging in absorbing tasks. Even small ones like a sudoku.
  3. Reframe the Anger, interpreting what happened in a positive way - looking for the good consequences. It also works with sadness and other emotions.
  4. Go Easy on Your Friends, to preserve the relationships from overburdening. Don't discuss the same thing forever.
