How to Stop Ruminating

from The Expat Mom Podcast Hosted by Jennie Linton

Cows spend 7-8 hours a day chewing, swallowing, regurgitating, re-chewing, and re-swallowing their food. That's a lot of time! Humans spend a lot of time ruminating as well. Rather than ruminating on food, they ruminate on thoughts: they love to chew on thoughts over and over again, swallow them, regurgitate them, and chew on them some more. While rumination can be helpful to cows in digesting food, rumination for humans has the opposite effect. It wastes time, depresses our mood, and keeps us from solving a problem. In this episode, we dive into rumination--why we do it and how to stop it. Free Coaching Session with The Expat Mom Sign-up for a free coaching session.
