Emotions
Ruminating
Thinking over and over about a problem or mistake without reaching any conclusion.
What the Bible can tell you
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8
Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
Matthew 6:34
Stand in awe, and don't sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
Psalms 4:4
