Why is there a need (for me) to keep rehashing things in my mind when I am upset about them? It is almost as if I believe that if I think about it enough, I’ll be able to change what’s already happened. It never works; I find myself getting emotionally recharged each time I do this. This is insanity, because the definition of insanity is ‘doing the same thing more than once and expecting different results’. When I let the situation go, however, and stop rehashing it, the energy and emotion connected to the incident dissipates.
