Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - Rumination

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Rumination "

Do you know what it means to " ruminate? " Cows do it all the time, and I

wonder if you do? You see, when cows ruminate, they are chewing their cud, a

repetitive process that is necessary to a cow's well being. However, if you

are a human being, rumination can hurt instead of help you.

You see, when you ruminate, you are preoccupied with rehashing perceived or

real problems over and over again. You don't really resolve anything, but

you become an expert at working yourself into a state of high stress that

can sometimes lead to a downward spiral. After a while, you find yourself

worrying not about the original problem, but about the images you have

created yourself.

Despite this vicious cycle, the human mind has a built-in potential for

flexibility. Something inside whispers, " There must be a better way. " If you

pay attention and look for insight, there is a good chance you will find

what you need.

The ability to take charge of your thoughts is not something most of us

learn in school, but it is a skill that is essential if you want to kick the

worry habit and accomplish worthwhile goals. You can learn to substitute

images of solutions instead of endlessly ruminating about problems, and you

can affirm your ability to deal effectively and calmly with all challenges

instead of worrying about failure.

Does changing your thinking really affect the outcomes and results you get?

Absolutely! It has been proven time and time again. Try it for yourself and

see.
