And we're like, yep, they were angry at me. And so now I'm going to ruminate on that for the next couple of days, and make it bigger in my mind, and suddenly you're in this place where you can't even be in the same room with this person because you made an assumption about how
I guess it's really the rule of almost taking it, giving yourself a time-out, which is when you have something scary happen to you or you are processing a failure and you're starting to ruminate and over-think-- and this is the same for adults as well as kids-- you have to get your brain away from that for a little bit. You literally can't process anything when your fear center or your amygdala is on high alert.

And they divided the women into two groups-- women who tend to ruminate and women who don't tend to ruminate . And the women who tended to ruminate waited on average two months longer to make an appointment with their doctor, which is a critical amount of time when you find a lump in your breast.

energy needs in the body. For example, we did an experiment because we wanted to know how much energy does it cost to worry about the future, to ruminate about yesterday.
