Forget all the complexities and all of the fears and emotions that swirl around your dizzy head and fearful face. Think about all that is good within and around you. Becoming grateful in your life helps to rid you of the dark clouds that once circled over your head.

People don't realize that your emotions can be habits. We do have influence over our thoughts and our desires and if we set our minds on our goals with relentless persistence, we'll achieve them.

What then should you do this day so that you may be free from obsessive compulsive behavior? You should first observe that there are those in the world who do not suffer with obsessive compulsive thoughts. You may ask if there is anything the matter with you? Do you have mental issues? No. You have a habit.

I myself have quit smoking and drinking, drugs and OCD. I have also had great leaps and bounds regarding the facing of anxiety and these are my victories. My understanding is from real experience, not some text book.

I'm not sure where you stand on this, but I would prefer to mentor with someone who has gone through what I am trying to go through. I have freed myself from this disgraceful, distasteful malady and I'm finally free.

So after you have observed that it's possible to have freedom of the mind, what then? Decide for yourself that you too can and will have mental freedom, that you too will taste this delicious freedom! Decide in your heart, make it a goal and chase it relentlessly.

What then, do we do to keep motivated. Every time you slack on trying to not perform rituals, think about how bad your OCD was, think about how bad it is and say to yourself, "I am getting over it right now!" "No more OCD!"

The third thing that I would consider is to practice what you preach. Be a man/woman of your word. Whatever you think is right, do that. Do some self soul searching and think about the things that you know you should change. Ask yourself what it is that is holding you back. What are your constraints to becoming OCD free?

Tackle those constraints head-on. They could be fear, they could be lack of faith that it's possible. These all need to be cleared up one by one. Do it step by step and not all at once and you will see great results.

Take action: Observe that others have gotten out of a deep suffering with OCD, believe that you can to, resolve to make the change, create bite sized goals, and relentlessly and religiously complete your goals. If you do these things, it's virtually impossible for you to fail, period! You can do it and I know this because I was in horrible shape and I did it! So I know you can!
