Rumination
One thing a lot of people do is ruminate! Rumination is continuously thinking about the same thoughts, which often tend to be negative.
Rumination can be detrimental to our overall health and wellbeing.
Ruminating can impair our ability to think and plan for the future and prevent us from processing our emotions.
Although rumination can be at times detrimental to our health, it is important to remember how common it is. Also, how its common to naturally ruminate and it be a healthy part of the creative process. How many times have you had a song or melody bouncing around your head? This isn’t always a bad thing, it can drive you to finish the song or improve the line.
