You’re conflating rumination with introspection.
Rumination reinforces negative pathways.
Introspection enables metacognition and error correction.
No cognitive tool is inherently good or bad. Outcomes depend on whether it produces emotional loops or better models of reality.

Sit somewhere quiet. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Close your eyes. Breathe normally. Focus only on the feeling of air entering and leaving your nose. When your mind wanders (it will, constantly), don't judge yourself, just gently bring attention back to the breath. That's it.
Every time you notice your mind drift and redirect it, that's one rep for your prefrontal cortex. Like a bicep curl for the part of your brain that overrides the amygdala. Start with 5 minutes if 10 feels like too much. The only rule that matters is doing it daily.
In parallel, study Vipassana & find time to do a 10-day course (find a center near you): it's free & will change your life. Guaranteed.

It is pretty obvious by now that China is a much larger economic power than the US and the European Union. Across various statistics, it now looks like India is a closer economic power in terms of magnitude to the EU than the EU is to China.
*GDP figures in bold I adjusted from the World Bank's estimates based on the last ICP round, using data from previous ICP rounds and Maddison's estimates.

How radically the world has changed in just 25 years and how fast things should change in the near future can be gleaned from tracked scientific publications.
In 1999, the US was clearly far ahead with 3.5 times the publications of the second place (Japan), and 1/3 of global publications. China was 8 times smaller, and India didn't make the top 10.
In 2024, China published 60% more documents than US. The US's share dropped from over 30% to ca. 12%, India is now in 3rd place with half as many publications as the US, increasing from 7% in 1999.
These are my expectations for the world order in the 21st century: there will be a blend.
China and India are emerging to be both greater powers than the US (China is just a couple of decades ahead of India, but I expect India to catch up and, due to demographics, become the world's most important economy by the 2050s or so).
There will be no hegemony of any power, but many centers of power, including Indonesia, Russia, Brazil, in addition to the big 2 of China and India. The US will be regarded as a secondary great power in the isolated location of North America, geopolitically its role will be like Brazil's in South America, and unlike the Eurasian giants of India and China at the geographical center of the world.
The idea that it's natural for the world to have a hegemon is an idea of the 1990s, a time when it could be said (most) of the world had a hegemon, as before there was no hegemon (the world had a multipolar system before WW2 and a bipolar system after WW2) and there is no hegemon now as well.
In terms of economics, I think that the ideal number of great powers is 3 or more, and that will be the case for the next century. This large number of powers allows small countries a lot of bargaining power vis bigger countries, which produces a greater degree of local sovereignty and that generates an environment that is fertile ground for inclusive institutions to flourish.
