Interrupting Rumination with Curiosity and Mindfulness
One approach to interrupting rumination is to adopt Eckhart Tolle's rumination trick. By noticing and stopping the rumination, taking deep breaths, and asking yourself the magic question, 'I wonder what I'll think of next?', you can shift your thought pattern. Another suggestion is using Grock cards, which involve guessing your own feelings and needs to engage a different part of your brain and calm the inner critical voice. Additionally, focusing on body sensations through activities like observing your environment or touching objects can help build mindfulness and shift thoughts away from ruminating.
