    Stop Ruminating: Rewire Your Brain, Break Family Cycles

    Miglior citazione da Stop Ruminating: Rewire Your Brain, Break Family Cycles

    “

    Your brain has this incredible ability called neuroplasticity, which means it's constantly rewiring itself based on what you repeatedly think and do. When you ruminate over pain caused by others, you're essentially strengthening those neural pathways, but you can also create new, healthier ones.
