Obsessive Thoughts - What To Do About Them
Author : Derek Joe Soto
Obsessive thoughts haunt those who don't know how to customize their own thought lives. It's not your fault however! You were not trained to do so. We have been trained ever since we were young that we have to work with the hand that we are dealt. Most people who are successful simply threw out their hand if they didn't like it and went and got the cards they want so to speak.
How can you get rid of your obsessive thoughts? You should know that obsessive thoughts are a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and if you reading this right now, chances are you have OCD. You have no need to worry, however, because OCD is not some incurable malady or disease. It's actually very misunderstood, even by most "professionals."
So the best people to learn about how to stop obsessive thoughts are from those who have had them and beat them. I had OCD since I was the young age of seven and it wasn't until about five years ago that I learned how to eliminate it from my life. Some actions that you can take in your quest to stop Obsessive thoughts are to stop fighting the thoughts that enter your mind. If I were to sit there and tell you not to think about dead cats and I kept saying this to you, could you really not think about them?
Seeing as how Obsessive thoughts is simply a part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and since we know we can't fight the thoughts, what are we able to accomplish? The single most counter-intuitive thing that we can do is to allow the thoughts to dwell there. That's right, I know it sounds maybe crazy, maybe generic, but trust me on this because it will make your life easier.
What I want you to do from now on when you have obsessive thoughts is to just allow them to be there, accept that they are there and then I want you to practice introducing new thoughts along with the obsessive thoughts. This is not something that will work effectively after a limited amount of attempts, this requires repetition. You see, by doing this you are forming a new habit by telling your mind, "yes, I understand that is what I am thinking about now, but I want to think about this."
Your brain will get used to you telling it what to do and not the other way around so to speak. If you comprehend that what gives us the capability to think is the same ability that allows us to be able to talk to ourselves and have an inner conversation or dialog with ourselves. Obsessive thoughts can't last if we choose to take control of our minds by becoming educated in several different mind control techniques. I've prepared some incredibly effective OCD materials for you below, enjoy!
