There’s a difference between reflection and rumination. At first, they feel the same. But they lead you in completely different directions. Reflection helps you process what happened. Rumination makes it personal. You start attaching meaning… what it says about you, your worth, your future. And before long, the event is small— but the story you’ve built around it is huge. The people who bounce back quickly reflect. The ones who stay stuck ruminate. So catch it early. Because rumination is a loop…and it won’t stop unless you stop it. #leadershipdevelopment #rumination #selftalk #selfawareness
