@ScarletPimpernel - good question. I think the answer is different for every person and according to the stage of healing they are at.

At some point it seems more fruitful when exhausting all the other methods to simply say okay let me live more in this moment as much as I am able. It is not easy, but constant focusing on the past only seems to have a limited value to me. I deal with things as they come up but then get back to living life in this moment. If I have to choose to ruminate on the past or do dishes, I pick dishes. I always feel better after having washed the dishes. @CANDC
PS
I always let them air dry, I am not a masochist
