How to Stop Obsessing Over Your Mistakes

Do you ever find yourself endlessly mentally replaying situations in which you wish you’d performed differently? Overthinking in this way is called rumination, and it’s closely linked to anxiety and depression. The good news is that there are effective solutions for breaking yourself out of this rut, and they’re simpler than you might think. First, identify your common triggers. Next, get some psychological distance from your thoughts by labeling them. Distinguish between ruminating and problem-solving; the former rarely leads to the latter. Fourth, train your brain to resist sticky thoughts through distraction and physical activity and meditation. Last, check your thinking for common cognitive errors.
