Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ruminating and concentrating on problems often leads to magnifying those problems, potentially into depression, because it involves continuously thinking about and dwelling on them without moving towards solutions. On the other hand, engaging in activities can serve as a distraction or a way to actively cope with stress, thereby decreasing negative mood.
