What rumination cycles are really about

This article is cross-posted from my weekly newsletter, The Sunday Soother, a newsletter about clarity, intention, and useful tips for creating more meaning in your life that goes out every Sunday morning. Subscribe here. I am also a coach who works with sensitive people so they can stop second-guessing, make decisions confidently and live the life they’ve always dreamed of. You can learn more about working with me here.

First, a heads up! The waitlist for my Introduction to Intentional Living Course is now up! By signing up there you’ll be the first to know when the course is open for enrollment in December and get some goodies I’ll be giving just to waitlisters. There’s also all the info about the course over there: modules, testimonials, who the course is for, and lots more.

Happy Sunday, Soothers. I bet many of you have read the excellent book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski (if not, please do!). The book helps you understand why you might feel chronically stressed and anxious in terms of our bodies, stress hormones, and our nervous systems; in very simplified terms, we’re often stuck in an unfinished stress loop in our bodies, and we need to complete the loop by processing the stress.
