What I tell them is very helpful. When they do something such as vacuum the floor, I say to them: "When you vacuum the floor, say out loud, I just vacuumed the floor and I will not do it again until tomorrow."

When they have a hard time after about an hour or so, I tell them to just post pone it. Say to yourself: "I'll do it at five o'clock, then when five comes around say that you'll do it at eight o'clock, then just put it off until tomorrow.

When you put something off for a long time, it makes it easier not to do it and you can apply this to compulsive disorder. Here is a great example: I lost my cat, she was always peeing all over the house and scratching everything up.

I felt the very strong urge that I had to go and make fliers and go to every house looking for the cat, even though I knew that I was moving and could not keep her.

I did miss her but I knew that these urges were a little more than just concern, it was OCD.I then put it off until the next day and the next day and the next day until finally, it became easier to not do it at all.

When I was obsessing about the cat that I had lost, this is how I got myself to stop worrying about it unnecessarily. It all worked out for the best. You can also use this knowledge for your OCD cleaning also.

When you start to work out, you really don't feel like doing it but you know that you need to. The knowing that you need to keeps your going until your muscles stop being so sore and you get used to it, then you actually love going to the gym because you love how you feel after you work out.

It's the same with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. You can learn so much from facing your fears and anxiousness because you will have times where you are able to defeat your anxiety and this is a great feeling.

This will work for any type of Compulsive Disorder no matter what kind it is. I'm telling you that this is one of the most important parts of the puzzle to getting rid of your Obsessive Compulsive Disorder once and for all.

You are actually changing your brain chemistry when you do this and it's for the better because you are training yourself to do the correct action. Now one of the other most important aspects of dealing with this is...
