OCD-OUT

The mind is so confusing that many times an intrusive thought can be camouflaged as a genuine thought or a "sign" of something, which confuses us and makes us enter into an endless debate, but nothing could be further from the truth....

👉. The intrusive thought is ONLY BURDENING NOISE, it is not a sign of anything, and it does not depend on us, therefore, we should not pay attention to it or respond to it.

✅. Analyze this carefully, try to be aware of these disguises to identify them in time, and use this as a small tool to apply daily.

Why is it so hard for us?

It is difficult to understand why it is so hard for us not to fight the OCD, it may be because of the degree of rejection that the intrusive thought generates in us, it may be because we really feel that we cannot stand idly by in the face of such an attack, it may be because we look for a way to argue that what the OCD tells us is not true.

The only certainty is that the more we fight, the farther we are from winning the fight because the real battle is within ourselves and it is about NOT ENTERING INTO THE FIGHT.

I know it is hard for us, but actually, NOT FIGHTING the intrusive thought is the way for it to lose strength and retreat.

Try to be aware of this point, put it into practice as much as you can, just the fact that you are aware that there is a possibility of not engaging is already a big step, and if you can practice not responding, it is an even bigger step.

Excellent start of the week for everyone; review the tips and practice them, together we are stronger 💜

We must make friends with the recovery process; it is not a goal to reach but rather a process that requires our energy and commitment.

Keeping ourselves within the process without anxiety is key to being able to acquire and apply tools that will make us feel better in the long run.

🙏. If you are in the middle of the process and have "bad days," don't get anxious or give up, they are part of the equation.

Committing to recover is a giant step and a fact to stand up and applaud ourselves.

For this 2022, from the OCD-OUT team, we renew our commitment to design solutions and create content that adds value and improves the quality of life of people with OCD.

There is much to learn and practice 🙌.

Together, always ❤️
