Ruminating thoughts?
|
Our minds loooove to get fixated on some thoughts. Did I make the right decision? Which path should I choose? Why are they acting this way? If you're feeling stuck, I'd like you to give these a try. First, JOURNAL.You wouldn’t believe how helpful it is to write down your thoughts. Rumination happens when you’re stuck on the same thoughts that you can’t untangle. Your brain rehashes the same thoughts over and over again in the hopes that something will start to make sense. Writing down your thoughts will force you to process them and make them clearer. Grab a piece of paper and a pen, and start writing everything you can think of about the situation you're in. No judgment, no trying to make it nice and sensical. Just automatic writing. You'll be surprised at the result. Second, make a decision.Let's say you're hesitating between two paths and can't seem to figure out which one is the right one. If you have all the information you’ll ever get, and you’re rehashing the same what ifs over and over again, make a decision. You can’t know the future. And you'll never know where the alternative would have taken you. So there’s no right or wrong decision. There’s just a path that you choose and that you’ll adapt to. You will build a life around this path and make the most of it. Inaction and rumination will only make you waste your precious time on this Earth. And take an awful toll on your mental health. Action is the antidote to rumination. This question came from one my amazing Yoga with Clem members. Did you know I answer their questions every week on my podcast? Last week, I answered the question: Falling asleep without your phone, is it possible? Om, peace 🧡 Clem PS: I'm not currently taking on any new clients.

I'm going through a really difficult time in my personal life at the moment. As a yoga and self-care teacher/coach, I like to share all the ways in which I have my shit together, but I'm of course also a human, sometimes going through tough times and doing my best to deal with them. In other words, more than ever, I need to follow my own advice and make use of all the tools I share with you. And I've been thinking... You know how we often feel nostalgia when we think about a time when life...
How can we avoid letting other people's emotions affect our own mental state? I recently had a few people telling me their manager struggles with dealing with their own stress, which puts a lot of pressure on their team. I've been there before and it's not fun. Whether it's your boss or your partner going through a stressful time... it can take a serious toll on both your relationship and your mental health. So how do we avoid letting this happen? It's important to differentiate 3 things:...
Or rather, you can have it all, but not well and at the same time. Career, family, friends, health, hobbies… Something’s got to give. I think burn-out happens when we try to do everything well at the same time. And the sad thing is… when our health collapses, everything else follows. Our lives are made of seasons, and we regularly need to take a step back and decide what we want our priority to be. It needs to be intentional, otherwise other people’s priorities will take over.
