One technique I learned in CBT is to write down the thoughts you’re ruminating on onto an index card. Then whenever the thought returns, remind yourself “it’s on the card”.

"Writing down ruminations and validating oneself can lessen anxiety and in turn, lessen ruminations. Another method is to practice not dwelling on a thought and viewing thoughts as transient, like changing the TV channel. Cognitive behavioral techniques can also be helpful. Meditation and visualization exercises, such as observing thoughts and visualizing capturing them to put them away in a box, can help manage ruminations. It's also beneficial to distract oneself with calming activities or hobbies."
