How to quiet those Ruminative Thoughts
Step 1
If you can, take action. Write down the most positive outcome you’re looking for such as, I want to feel engaged at work and then create a plan to make it happen.
Step 2
Challenge your beliefs. If you’re telling yourself, something didn’t happen the correct way, take a more realistic approach. It probably wasn’t all bad.
Step 3
Redirect your attention. Clear your head with an engaging activity like Scrabble or tennis with a friend or catch with Fido — not with mindless TV
