Decide to have a good day
Happy Thursday. Don't forget to give OCD the middle finger today. Resist compulsions and sit with our anxiety and we'll improve over time. We can do this! There are proven courses of action. Our outlook and resolve is incredibly important. I love two quotes in this area. Voltaire - "The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood" and C.S. Lewis - "All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be." Decide to be in a good mood today, decide that when things don't go your way you'll take a moment, some deep breaths, and get back to it. Pretend that OCD doesn't bother you. Not by trying to suppress/ignore thoughts, but by acknowledging them head on. Say the fears out loud, ask the worst "what if" questions, write them down and look at them and pretend they don't bother you (resist compulsions) and over time they won't! You all rock.
