Published: Sept. 19, 2023, 8 a.m.

What\u2019s the difference between reflection and rumination?\xa0


Healthy self-reflection can turn into rumination if you\u2019re not careful, and while self-reflection can be a really productive and helpful tool, rumination tends to be the opposite.\xa0


In this episode, we\u2019re taking a deeper dive into the differences between reflection and rumination and the characteristics of each. You\u2019ll learn how to identify rumination quickly and move past it into a healthier mental space. We\u2019ll talk about why rumination is not helpful and self-reflection is and how to cut back on time spent ruminating to make more time for healthy reflection.\xa0


Topics covered in this episode include:

  • The difference between healthy reflection and rumination\xa0
  • How to identify rumination\xa0
  • Two ways to encourage healthy self-reflection
  • Four steps to move past rumination\xa0
