One of the ways that it seems to help is helping us avoid what they call repetitive negative thinking, or rumination. When we’re experiencing depression, we can get into these downward negative thought spirals where one negative thought can lead to another one, and we can have a tough time breaking out of that. What mindfulness training does is it trains us to become more aware of our emotions and more aware of our thoughts. More aware of our body, where we’re feeling the tension in our body related to depression. And so, we become better at knowing when we’re having a negative thought pattern.
