Get rid of Intrusive Thoughts
Imagine your mind is like a house on Halloween night. Intrusive thoughts are like persistent trick-or-treaters knocking at your door, with thier silly and scary customs. At first, you might feel compelled to answer, just as you would with kids in costumes asking for candy. You try to be polite, explaining you don’t have any treats, but they just stand there, waiting. If you keep responding, they’ll keep knocking. But if you turn off the lights and ignore the doorbell, eventually, they’ll get the message and move on. They might even tell others not to bother knocking because no one’s home. Treat intrusive thoughts the same way. If you react to them, they’ll keep coming back. Instead, let them knock without opening the door. With time and no reaction from you, they’ll give up and fade away on their own.
