Summary: On this episode of the Act To Live Podcast, Scott and Jaime explore the concept of rumination. They discuss their experiences being ‘stuck in a rut’ and wishing they could ‘hit the reset button.’ The duo then discusses signs that you might be stuck in a cycle of rumination, as well as ways that you can start to work yourself out of that rut. 

Action Event of the Week: If you find yourself ruminating, stop for a moment, congratulate yourself for noticing, visualize the ‘reset’ button, PRESS IT, and allow yourself to do something different. What did you notice? 

Join us on the next episode of the Act To Live Podcast as we empower ourselves through a discussion about just that - empowerment!
