Rumination can also consist of dwelling on the way someone else is treating us . It is easy to turn in on ourselves and focus on what is bothering us, without communicating with others . In these circumstances , a useful opposite action can be to assert yourself with the other person , clearly and calmly expressing your point of view and seeking their perspective , without getting stuck in your thoughts. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
