Mine depends on the level of anxiety a certain thought produces. If it’s minimal or has barely any impact and it passes quickly without any rumination then I can deem that thought irrelevant. If I experience a large boost of anxiety due to a certain thought that causes me to ruminate about it or panic then I practice maybe, maybe not. Because I know that’s a thought that sits with me more so I need to teach myself to embrace uncertainty around that thought. Hopefully this gives you some insight, it’s what I do personally so it may help you it may not. It’s important to try to find the things that work best for you! Personal ERP and OCD management is not a one size fits all so it may take some time and that’s okay! Keep working at it, you got this!
This is super helpful. Thank you so much ❤️
No problem! Hope you have a good rest of your day! :)
