Obsessive compulsive behavior seems very hard to understand at first. Let alone beat. You need to realize that most people make things that they don't fully understand much more complicated than they really are.
Forget all the complexities and all of the fears and emotions that swirl around your dizzy head and fearful face. Think about all that is good within and around you. Taking on a grateful attitude removes and lifts this dark cloud that once did cover you.
Your emotions are all just habits. We can change what we wish, we desire what we want and a man who sets his mind on the desires of his heart relentlessly will gain these things.
What then should you do this day so that you may be free from obsessive compulsive behavior? You should first observe that there are those in the world who do not suffer with obsessive compulsive thoughts. Is there something wrong with you? Do you have mental issues? No. You have a habit.
I myself have quit smoking and drinking, drugs and OCD. I have also had great leaps and bounds regarding the facing of anxiety and these are my victories. I know they are real, not because I read about them in some book, but rather real world experience.
I don't know about you, but I would rather learn from someone who knows what it's like, who's felt what it's like and has beaten it. I have freed myself from this disgraceful, distasteful malady and I'm finally free.
So after you have observed that it's possible to have freedom of the mind, what then? Decide for yourself that you too can and will have mental freedom, that you too will taste this delicious freedom! Decide in your heart, make it a goal and chase it relentlessly.
What then, do we do to keep motivated. Every time you slack on trying to not perform rituals, think about how bad your OCD was, think about how bad it is and say to yourself, "I am getting over it right now!" "No more OCD!"
The third thing that I would consider is to practice what you preach. Be a man/woman of your word. Do what you know in your mind to be right. Do some self soul searching and think about the things that you know you should change. Ask yourself what it is that is holding you back. What are your constraints to becoming OCD free?
Tackle those constraints head-on. They could be fear, they could be lack of faith that it's possible. These all need to be cleared up one by one. Do it step by step and not all at once and you will see great results.
Take action: Observe that others have gotten out of a deep suffering with OCD, believe that you can to, resolve to make the change, create bite sized goals, and relentlessly and religiously complete your goals. If you do these things, it's virtually impossible for you to fail, period! You can do it and I know this because I was in horrible shape and I did it! So I know you can!
Obsessive compulsive behavior help!
