The Mindful Path Through Worry and Rumination

I come from a long line of chronic worriers. In my family, the way you show support or love is by worrying. Absolutely every little thing is dissected to uncover any potential problems. Even during happy times, there is always something to ruminate about: the past, making a mistake, an upcoming event, etc.

The Mindful Path through Worry and Rumination is a remarkable book that teaches us how to retrain our own minds. Many of us ruminators have been worrying so long that it has become an unconscious habit, deeply etched into the pathways of our brains. Try as we might, worrying takes on a life of its own and we just can't seem to stop. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that the first step is catching yourself in the act and retraining the brain.

I wholehearted recommend The Mindful Path through Worry and Rumination. This book armed me with valuable information about how my brain works, why I ruminate, and why I could never seem to quiet that nagging voice. Most importantly, it gives me solid strategies to use day to day while I am creating new habitual ways of thinking. It's terrifying to realize how we worriers rob ourselves and our loved ones of our whole selves but it's equally amazing to feel the freedom and possibilities open up as our minds clear.
