Rumination can be a bit like a thought tornado spiralling us into negative thoughts, assumptions and predictions and can generate emotional distress 🌪🤯

Rumination is a cognitive process whereby we overthink the past and future and focus our attention on negative content. It is very common and all of us will engage in this from time to time, particularly when we are under stress. Rumination is often a co-occurring symptom of anxiety and depression.

We may hold the belief that by ruminating, we are going to solve a problem, gain insight or better prepare ourselves for the worst case scenario. However, rumination keeps us stuck, keeps us focussed on things out-with our control and generates negative repetitive thought cycles. It can also lead us to make negative, unhelpful and unrealistic predictions.

Unhelpful rumination often involves asking ‘why’ questions such as “why did this happen to me?” This type of questioning can lead us to focus more on the problem, the causes and the worst case. It can be helpful to replace ‘why’ questions with ‘how’ and ‘what’ questions. For example, “how can I get myself out of this situation?” and “what can I learn from this?” and “what can I do to make this better?” This can allow us to process events and problems from a more helpful stance of problem solving. We can also take back our control and engage in a more productive reflective way of thinking.

We hope you all have wonderful Christmases.
But we wanted to remind you to take social media with a pinch of salt, and try not to slip into those unhelpful thinking habits over the coming days.
For example, often people slip into “compare and despair” or “making mountains out of molehills” and the very common “black and white thinking”.
Seeing social media all glossy and “perfect” can perpetuate this.
First of all it’s not bad, stupid or wrong to have negative thoughts or these kinds of thinking styles, they’re common to all of us, even more so when we are stressed, anxious or depressed.
Second, remember that people only show a glossy glimpse of their lives through social media platforms often. It’s not reality, it’s usually a heavily filtered, carefully deflected and edited snapshot.
Sending love and best wishes to everyone .

We’ve spent today reflecting on how we can improve and look after our own mental health as well as the people we work with and live with.
For us this meant spending a bit of time away form social media and reconnecting with ourselves and our business.
Social media is great but as well as raising awareness it can also raise anxiety giving pekl a false sense of what it means to practice “good mental health” and concepts like “self care”. Looking after yourself should add to your stress and burden, and it doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.
Do what helps you
Talk to others, friends &/or professionals
Ask for help and offer it
Ask how your friends and colleagues are, and mean it, then ask again
We’re here for you, we’d love to hear from you.

Our minds are a complex construct, a bit like a maze. Understanding our minds can feel a bit like trying to navigate 🧭 our way through a maze. We have memories and experiences along the way, some of which might lead us in a positive direction, whilst others might lead us to feel stuck, lost, confused and hopeless. We all need a little guidance and support to find our way through the journey that is life.

Our CPC psychologists can support you through your journey, help you to navigate your way through different challenges and support you to better understand your mental health.
