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!
