A Buddhist reflection on rumination and letting the past rest. You don’t have to keep reliving the moment.

If you can’t stop thinking about someone after a breakup, it’s not weakness.
Your nervous system has been activated.
Dopamine, oxytocin, withdrawal, attachment circuitry — it’s survival biology.
I break it down here:

Ruminations are memories. They are the thoughts we keep having when we are looking for answers. But forgot the question. They fill up our brain with useless architecture. Just saying...

Why are #older adults less prone to PTSD than younger adults?
In our study, they felt just as distressed during a trauma film and had the same # intrusions — yet reported fewer #PTSD symptoms. The difference? Less #rumination. How we process events after they happen may matter most. bit.ly/4ka1XYi
Don't waste your time obsessing over the ugly people that hurt you so much that you neglect the people who brought you joy.

Reflection can quietly turn into rumination.
Thoughts may be automatic—but following them isn’t. You can choose not to go down the rabbit hole.

🧠 Stuck “thinking” but going nowhere?
That loop of What if… isn’t #problem-solving — it’s rumination.
Real thinking leads to action. #Rumination just spins. 🔄

In trying to be more intentional about who gets my money, I quit my old gym. I found a new one pretty quickly, though, which is great, because I am so fucking stressed…

A screenshot of my work calendar from September 12th, 2016 showing meetings scheduled throughout the day. The titles of all the meetings are partly (or totally) pixelated. The title of the meeting on 12 Monday at 1:00pm isn't pixelated and can be read. It says, "Rumination" and the meeting block is bright red.
My father worked for one of the big-three automakers in the early 1960's. He was told that he didn't move fast enough between meetings, so he threw his tie over his shoulder to make it look like he was hurrying.
Over the years I've been inspired by him (in my own way).

She sat in #dour #rumination, the rocking chair creaking with her every movement. How did every decision in her life come to this? A bittersweet end here, in the twilight of retirement? She thought of the path and realized it could end no other way.

The radio plays.
“Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I’m old and bored.”
Retrograde rumination.
Dream’s dour disappointment.

Phantom Pain It's where you made your bed! Deep in the dark ends of my Imagination— There is a place, What kind of space Would you dare to go inside? Inside stored away, is all Rumination— I hate it here, I cannot steer, I have no ways to steer it! Alice said she cannot bear it. Neither can I but would you even dare to? I cannot force you in this anger trap, After all you captured me in this wrap! You can see, you can see, you can see the results, It's your fault, it's your fault, you aren't a grown adult, You can see you can see you can see you can see the results, You can see you can see you can see you can see you can seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee It's where you made your bed, You made me lay in it! Hitting me with lead I can't, A poison that has spread!
You can see you can see you can see you can see the results,
You can see you can see you can see you can see you can seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
