Compulsive Obsessive Behavior - How to End OCD For Good!

Compulsive obsessive behavior causes a lot of heartache in millions of sufferers all around the world and I can tell you from experience that it is not as easy! You gotta understand that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a habit that can be stopped just like you can stop biting your nails or pulling your hair, etc. Forget all the fancy names that the "professionals" give these habits, when you get down to it, this is just what they are, habits! So you can either be ignorant and shake your head and say, nope, you can't cure OCD and be stuck with it for the rest of your life because of that belief or you can open your mind to the possibility that it can be cured and that there are people out there like me who have had it and real bad for several years and have beaten it!

I want you to understand that you need to realize that it is a problem that you don't have to live with for the rest of your life in order for me to be able to help you! Compulsive obsessive behavior is not a disease. If you can grasp this concept continue reading, if not, go read some propaganda written by a therapist who wants you to continue coming back to their office so that they can continue to charge your insurance ridiculous fees to talk about your childhood! Wake up! Stop being under the trance of social conditioning and think for yourself! I like people that think for themselves and challenge the status quo, these are the people that actually get things done!

Look at people like Bill Gates. He challenged the status quo and did not even finish college and he is the richest man in the world most of the time! Think about this, we have been told all our lives that in order to be successful you gotta get a degree from a college and then you can be somebody, but all the people that I know that are rich did not finish high school! I know of several marketers right now that make over 100 million a year and they never even went to college! Then the people that I know that finished college, make less than I do and I only went for two years! So challenge the status quo.

Again, I was told by a doctor that I would have OCD for the rest of my life and that I had to take Citalopram for the rest of my life to treat it! I refused to believe this and I searched for people who had OCD and got rid of it! I knew it was possible to beat compulsive obsessive behavior and guess what? I did! It really only boils down to what you believe you can do. I also used to suffer from migraines. When my neurologist told me that I would have to take migraine medications for the rest of my life, I refused to accept it! I went to a chiropractor and learned about ergonomics when I slept, now I have not had a migraine in years! So much for my smarty pants neurologist! Don't blindly take the word of "experts" however, think for yourself and you can do things that will appear as a miracle to the "sheep" or general population in this world.

Compulsive Disorder Obsessive - True Story of the OCD Cure

Compulsive disorder obsessive thoughts can really ruin your life. Every once in a while you hear about those people who they had OCD and for whatever reason it just went away. These are not true stories of people who had it and beat it. The true stories are when those people who had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder had it and then they get rid of it by their efforts, not wait until it just goes away. When the hard times come back in life, the people who had to put effort into getting rid of their OCD will not have to worry about a relapse while those who just had it go away are doomed to have a relapse.

The whole point of getting rid of compulsive disorder obsessive is to make sure it's gone for good, wouldn't you say? I would hope that this is your mindset. I am of the mindset that you should want to take the actions that you have to take so that you never have to face this problem again and even if you face it again you will be so equipped to handle it that there is virtually no way for it to return. I'm talking about resilience to OCD, I'm talking about a mental vaccine if you will. When you take a vaccine, when the disease tries to get you again, the chances of it making you sick are slim to none!

So what can you do to get this mental vaccine? You need to understand that compulsive disorder obsessive is not a disease, it is a habit. This habit can be cruel just like any other habit, such as pulling your hair or biting your nails so excessively that you bleed! You need to give yourself sufficient reasons why not only that you need to quit, but you have to perceive it as though you have to quit! Several shifts have to take place in your brain for you to be even able to get to the point where you can get rid of your Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Another thing that you should definitely know about compulsive disorder obsessive is that the "quick fix" is not as effective as the dedicated following of a system at least at this time. Later on in the future we will be more equipped to almost instantaneously be able to stop habits with little to no resistance in seconds. However the problem in stopping an aggressive habit is not in the changes taking place in the client's brain, the work is in getting the client to let go of their old beliefs which block the necessary changes. You quit habits in an instant, it's just getting the client to let go of their old limiting beliefs that is so frightening for the client and challenging for the practitioner.

Sadly most practitioners give up on people with compulsive disorder obsessive tendencies and issues because they do not fully understand enough about the habit in order to offer any real help. If you are seeing someone who claims to be able to help you with this and you have sen them for over 2 months with no results, and very important, you have been doing what they said, you need to find someone else. You must make sure that the statement I said above is only true if you followed their program to the letter!

Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts - Taking Down the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Beast

Overcoming obsessive thoughts is not easy for anyone at first. You need to understand that it really is counter intuitive. In fact, the "secret" to most things is counter intuitive! So start to think like this and you will start to see things in ways that you never thought you would. One thing that you should note is that when you simply tell yourself to do something, it does not mean that you will all of a sudden start to do this. Let's use dieting for example. Millions of people tell themselves that they have to workout or eat less, but often most of them never follow through with it long enough for it to have an impact and worse, some get results, then go back to their old ways and lose all the benefits they got from their previous hard work!

So how can you apply this to overcoming obsessive thoughts? You can do this by simply sticking with something that is working for you until the results are so ingrained that they are permanent. Most people will only do something long enough until they get the result that they want or a result that is "close enough" to the desired result. However, they do not stick with it and therefore lose the result and that is when they say things like, "oh, I tried that, it doesn't work." It's not that it doesn't work, but rather, you stopped. Period. The reason why they stopped is because they were relying on something called "willpower." If you are hungry and you keep telling yourself that you are not hungry, after a while you will not be able to keep up this charade and you will give in and pig out!

Instead, you must do things like change your metabolism and become active so that you will not be sitting around thinking about eating all the time. The same thing applies when you are overcoming obsessive thoughts, you must understand that you need to change other habits that make you more susceptible to the habit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is something that is so misunderstood that it is really hard to get people to even believe the truth about it. You need to put aside the social conditioning that you have been put through. Think about this, almost all of the commercials on TV are about insurance, lawyers, or pharmaceutical drugs!

When you are overcoming obsessive thoughts you need to understand that it is a viscous beast if you do not understand it, but when you understand it, it's a gentle kitten that will do whatever you tell it to. If you try to get rid of OCD the wrong way, it's like trying to lift a thousand pound rock and then hold it up! However, if you have the right mental tools, it will be like lifting up a thousand pound rock with a crane and then setting the crane in the off position when the rock is at the desired height. You can go home and the rock will stay there until you go and start up the crane and lower it again. I want you to have these kind of results when it comes to your OCD! I have some powerful information for you below that I think you'll enjoy!

Obsessive Thought - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Quick Start Guide, Finally!

Obsessive thought patterns can plague anyone of us at almost anytime, unless we learn how to control our own experience. You see, most people are just along for the ride. What I mean by this is that they simply let whatever happens happens and they are just a spectator in their lives. Meanwhile leaders are not merely spectator in their lives, but they are participants and influence rs and game changers. If you want to have the life that you dream of, someone is not going to come over to your house and just hand it to you, you must work for it. If you want to become OCD free, you must work for it, period.

When it comes to obsessive thought I must tell you that you are causing your own Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I know that that is not very encouraging, but at the same time it is because if you have control over it, that means you can do something about it, don't you agree? So what is it then that we can do about OCD so that it is not a problem for you anymore and so that you will never ever have to suffer from it again? We must believe that it is possible. Then what we must do is act on this belief. Do your research on this belief. Your belief about OCD will determine the kind of help that you look for. You will after all find what you are looking for, but you must first ask yourself if you are looking for the right thing. Are you looking for treatments or are you looking for cures?

When I think about my clients and their obsessive thought patterns, I can assure you that these thoughts greatly hinder their positive experiences in their lives and in the lives of the people around them. You see, it's not easy for anyone to live with someone who has OCD, even if they have it themselves! So you must know that not giving into a ritual will not kill you. Did you know that? Do you honestly believe that? Do you act on this belief or do you act on a different belief? Do you do things just to get "piece of mind" even though you know that you are giving into your Obsessive Compulsive Disorder like a puppet? It's all determined by how you interpret the thoughts that you have.

Most people that I work with and mentor with greatly disturbed by the obsessive thought patterns that they have. Not much encourages them, that is until they find out that they can do something about it and when I tell them all the things that they can do about it and explain these things to them one by one and then let them practice them over time until they are ready for more things, they start to see a different life that is possible for them and for their family. I want to help you get rid of your OCD too, but you must understand that it is not a pill or a type of therapy or surgery or anything weird that will cure you of your OCD. No, instead, it will be from your hard work and dedication and no it does not have anything to do with "willpower" or "just don't give in" bs that simply does not work. I have some great free information for you below, enjoy!

Compulsive Thoughts - How Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is Killing You

Compulsive thoughts, when it comes to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, are really a bigger enemy than they might appear to be at first. See, how OCD starts is by little quirky actions such as Robert in the show Everybody Loves Raymond, where he touches his utensil to his chin before he takes a bite of the food on it. These types of things can easily turn into Obsessive Compulsive Disorder if this person goes through something that is very distressing for them.

You gotta understand that the compulsive thoughts can and will destroy your quality of life if you continue to indulge them. Just the same that that you indulge yourself and eat ice cream every time you feel like it is bad for you, so is giving into these quirky thoughts whenever you have them! Anything in excess in nature is bad, we have seen this when we have rain, it's good, but when there is too much, there is flooding and damage! When we have dryness it's good because it balances out the rain, but when there is too much, our crops die and fires start up and other disasters.

The same principle takes place in our brains when it comes to our compulsive thoughts. You must not give in each and every time. If you truly want to be free from these thoughts, you must be willing to not give in to them. It's odd, but when it comes to OCD, you feel like you need to control something, whether it be your exposure to germs or if you will get that job or not. So you will do rituals to try to control or influence the outcome or prevent something bad from happening. These rituals do not affect the outcome directly, but rather, they affect the way that you think about things which will change the way that you react to things, which will change things that will affect the outcome.

I know that this seems like a lot of information here, but you can see these things in real life. For example, lets say that you have compulsive thoughts about landing a job. So you have a thought that you must touch the car door handle three times when you enter and when you exit or something will happen where you will be rejected. So you touch the car handle this many times. Then you get the job, you may wrongly think that this action influenced your good fortune. However, if you had not touched the handle and got the job, what would you think then?

Most people with compulsive thoughts rarely test this out out of fear. I challenge you to not give in and see the results, otherwise, how else will you know? You see, compulsive thoughts will really ruin your life by making you do all these necessary things that you will feel like you need to hide and this also will make yo feel insecure and miserable inside, which will ruin your quality of life, which will ruin your mood, which will take away your joy, which can cause health problems, which will kill you. In this way, it really is a life or death decision, when you give into OCD, you are starting a chain of events that leads to a miserable life and a quicker death as opposed to the alternative, a happy and longer life by not giving into rituals, which do you choose? Below I have information that will help you learn how to choose the second option with success without using "willpower" which doesn't work!

Compulsive Obsessive Disorders - Obey This One Rule to Stop OCD For Good!

Compulsive obsessive disorders can be catastrophic to your way of life. When we look at the things that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can do to your life and to the lives of the loved ones around you, you'll start to see that this needs to be fixed. You can truly see that there is a problem there but when you really think about it, it is completely silly that millions of people suffer with this useless malady. You see, OCD is just a habit and there are a lot of results which support this view. The facts speak loudly for themselves. I have been helping people with OCD for several years and I can tell you from experience that the fact that OCD is just a habit has been proven to me over and over again.

So what is it that makes compulsive obsessive disorders such a monster? Why are people having such a hard time getting rid of OCD? It's simple. In their current perception of reality, the pain of not giving into a ritual far outweights the pain of giving into a ritual. Your brain will naturally choose the lesser of two pains each and every time without fail! It would only choose the more painful option if it perceived that there would be some type of great pleasure at the end of it! Do you see the power of this? Our beliefs will even lead us to do something painful if we believe there is a sufficient enough reward at the end. That is why most Americans actually go to work in the first place!

So how can you apply this principle into your compulsive obsessive disorders? You've got to understand that you have to change your interpretation of the data around you in your world so that you perceive that there will be more pain if you give into a ritual than if you don't. It is really that simple. If you can achieve this, then you will have no problem finding something to replace your OCD habit with. I find that it is helpful for my clients to have a hobby or something that they love to do to replace their OCD habit just like smokers can sometimes find that gum can be a healthy alternative to their cigarettes.

I want you to understand that "willpower" is useless! That is why so many diets simply don't work! They rely on the fact that you need to use willpower to stick to it. Willpower is useless! So what can we do then knowing that willpower will fail us almost every time? We can change the way that we perceive the data around us, the way we interpret it. We have control to do this and here is an example: A guy bumps into you in the subway and you fall and spill your contents. You go home and complain about this jerk. Then you find out in the news that he was being chased by someone trying to kill him and his family. Now in your mind he is no longer so much of a jerk is he! See, interpretation of the data. To learn how to use this to change how you feel about OCD naturally instead of trying to force it with willpower which never works, read below!
