Limit, but Allow, Rumination

3/21/2014

Picture
"That the birds of worry and care fly above your head, this you cannot change. But that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent." — Chinese proverb

Ever find yourself ruminating about something, perhaps something you fear happening in the future or something you fret that happened in the past? Stop denying the rumination. Instead of suppressing or denying  the thoughts, designate 15 or 20 minutes per day to pure and unadulterated rumination. Imagine every possible scenario, every possible outcome and then when the allotted time is up, cease permitting such thoughts in your mind. If you find your mind returning to the ruminations, gently remind yourself that you already had time to obsess so it's done with and over until the following day.
