In the world of motorcycles, target fixation occurs when a rider becomes overly focused on something they perceive as dangerous or distracting. Instead of avoiding it, they end up unintentionally steering towards it or other hazards they might not have initially noticed.
Similarly, in life, we often find ourselves fixating on things that don't serve us. We get caught up in constant or repetitive thoughts that revolve around perceived mistakes, negative situations, or even self-criticism. This cycle can have a negative impact on our mood and drain our energy significantly.
On today's episode, we're going to delve into the topic of ruminating thoughts. We'll take a closer look at what they are, why they occur, and most importantly, how you can break free from this cycle. By disrupting the pattern of rumination, you can ensure that your energy is directed towards things that truly benefit you, rather than being poured into something that holds you back.
