91. Stop Obsessive Compulsive Behavior - When you behave in a way that disrupts you from enjoying life fully because of obsessiveness, you are actually blocking some positive energy from flowing into your life. You become obsessed over the what ifs in life and that is no way to live the Law of Attraction life. Thankfully, there are some ways to stop this behavior and move forward. What to do: This one may take a little help from a professional, but the techniques and ideas of the Law of Attraction are incorporated into the treatment. The typical approach is called cognitive behavioral therapy. This helps you by teaching your mind to learn to see the world as less threatening and instills the qualities you need to become more optimistic. Many obsessive compulsions are based on negative beliefs and these deeply rooted ways of thinking are challenged through the retraining of your thought patterns. You may have success doing this yourself by using the N.I.C.E. technique. But you will need to first identify the ways that you obsess over things in order to break the cycle. Affirmations to Stop Obsessive Compulsive Behavior: ● ● ● ● ● I am able to resist obsessive compulsive tendencies I have no urge to do obsessive compulsive activities I am in complete control over my impulses OCD does not affect my life anymore I do not obsessive over anything unnecessarily Visualization Technique to Stop Obsessive Compulsive Behavior: First, get yourself into a comfortable position. This could be sitting, laying down in bed, or relaxing in a recliner. Picture yourself feeling totally calm as you clothes your eyes. Imagine yourself in a place where your OCD is not relevant. This could be a special place with magical qualities such as a fairy land of magical healing creatures, a tropical vacation paradise, or in a sterile, blank room. Whatever works for you. It doesn't have to be something that anyone else would choose as long as the place makes you feel no need to perform compulsive behaviors. Relax here in this place for a few minutes until you feel extremely relaxed. Focus on being carefree and without concern for anything but this. Now, think about something that would typically cause you to become compulsive. View yourself in the experience, only don't watch it from your point of view, but as a bystander watching. Be your own cheerleader, urging yourself to continue feeling relaxed and carefree. Then watch yourself go through the experience without doing the compulsive behavior. Feel proud and happy that you were able to get through it. Statbrook Associates LLC – 116
