Two modes of thinking.
Depending on if our thoughts are ruminations or reflections is what will determine if we are closing or opening the door to experience love and connectedness.
Let’s have a little bit of fun with this. Below is a chart that details the different elements and experiences that tend to come with either mode of thinking either, rumination or reflection.
In review this list, it’s clear that being in a reflective state of mind is more effective when it comes to dealing with problems of the heart and life’s problems in general. But it’s important to realize that every human being goes in and out of these two modes of thinking.
What can be really practical is not to try to stop yourself from ruminating but to at least hold off on making major decisions until you’re in a more neutral, reflective, and clear state of mind.
