     Breaking Free from the Cycle of Rumination

     While rumination can be a persistent and difficult habit to break, there are effective strategies to manage and overcome this tendency:

     1. Recognize Rumination Patterns: The first step is to become aware of ruminative patterns. Notice when you find yourself replaying negative thoughts and gently redirect your attention to the present moment.
