A surprising self-care strategy that is often overlooked
Have you ever felt frustrated or upset about a situation or an experience and started to replay the situation over and over again in your mind?
Ruminating on what went wrong, what you did or didn’t do, what you said or didn’t say or what someone else did or didn’t do?
If you have, you’re not alone!
The downside is, every time you replay the event over and over again in your mind, it is as though the situation were happening again in the present moment.
Your nervous system ramps back up and re-triggers the fight, flight or freeze response in your mind and body and increases the levels of the stress hormone cortisol inflaming your tissues.
It feels good for about 5 minutes, and then, not so much.
It’s healthy to vent. For a short while. But research shows that venting beyond 5 minutes actually prolongs the negative mood and zaps your energy.
After the 5 minute mark, it’s all about moving the emotions of frustration, hurt, disappointment or anger and the shifting to FOR-GIVING the energy back to the situation so that it doesn’t continue to harm you, your body or your mind.
