Rumination Catchphrase Interrupt Habit
A rumination catchphrase interrupt habit uses one rehearsed neutral line within five seconds of noticing replay loops—interrupt content, redirect hands to task.
A rumination catchphrase interrupt habit uses one rehearsed line—not now, parked for Friday; hands on task—to break passive replay loops within five seconds of noticing them. The phrase is short, neutral, and paired with a physical cue like standing or opening a document.
Practice when calm so the line is automatic at 2 a. m.
Do not argue with the rumination content; interrupt and redirect. If the same theme returns hourly despite boxing, escalate to therapy.
