hey gnaw at you. They dominate your day and keep you awake at night. Those annoying negative thoughts are known as ruminations. When you ruminate, you mull over the same issue continuously. It’s like having a broken record in your head playing the same sad song over and over again.
In the long run, rumination can lead to a downward spiral of negative thinking and social isolation. Being around a ruminator can feel like Groundhog Day. No matter how many times a ruminator discusses the topic it is never enough. Understandably, friends become frustrated when they have to listen to the same story time and time again.
The good news is walking in nature has been shown to reduce rumination. That’s right — no pill or magical elixir required — just a stroll in the park.
