Why does realizing we overthink not assist us cease? On this episode of the Being Properly Podcast, Dr. Rick and Forrest talk about why rumination turns into a self-reinforcing behavior, and why perception alone not often helps. They distinguish between rumination and reflection, and discuss how balancing acceptance and company will help us go from one to the opposite. Forrest talks concerning the relationship between overthinking and emotions of disappointment and failure, and Rick shares sensible methods to interrupt the cycle, shift into extra concrete types of problem-solving, and eventually cease ruminating.
