Have you heard the term “rumination”? To ruminate is to obsessively think about the same problems over and over. If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, it is likely that you have invasive negative thoughts, and that you struggle to focus on other things.

Depression and anxiety throw us into a wrestling match with our own mind- an endless, exhausting fight with our inner self. Therefore, a very effective way to combat the lies depression/anxiety repeat in our minds is to get out of our own heads and attend to our bodies.
