Rehashing your problems over and over again in your mind doesn't solve them—it just makes you feel bad. Here's what to do instead, writes ncolier
We are conditioned to trust that thinking solves problems, which is why we often can't stop thinking about something that bothers us.
Some strategies for letting go of thoughts include being aware when we are ruminating and being open to the idea that we can't solve the problem.Have you ever noticed how frequently your mind returns to problems and situations that cause you pain, and insists on rehashing what’s wrong? It’s a strange phenomenon really, ourto thinking about problems. Even when we don’t want to think about what’s bothering us, still, we keep thinking about it.
Furthermore, we keep returning to what hurts because if we let it go, stop thinking about it, then it’s as if we will be dis-honoring how much it hurts. To stop thinking about our problems would be to behave as if our pain doesn’t matter. In essence, to abandon ourselves. In this way, our obsessive thinking is an attempt to award our suffering with importance and care.
Furthermore, in order to stop the constant ruminating on our pain, we need to remember that our pain comes with us, whether we are thinking about it or not. What we’ve suffered is woven into who we are; it’s part of us. We don’t need to keep thinking about our pain in order to make it matter, take care of it, or keep it with us. We don’t have to keep thinking our pain into existence in order for it to exist.
