ruminate

But with these participants with clinical depression, we actually induced them to ruminate about negative thoughts and feelings before they went on the walk.

“Talking about all this like ancient history makes me feel, ‘Oh yeah, we’ve kind of come a long way,’” Pickles ruminates.

Now that it looks like all their sweat and stress could amount to nothing, Carmy and Syd separately ruminate on the meaning of all those months of devotion and anxiety.

Still, associating too much with the self has been linked to psychiatric disorders like depression, where the mind ruminates on the self and the body can become oppressive.

The idea is to accept that the fear is there but to not ruminate over or attach to, it.
