Life can be extremely stressful at times, and sometimes we need to set aside some time to decompress and feel the moment.   Taking the time to step away from your busy mind and be in the moment, hearing and feeling nature. Take time for yourself.

​

Your true existence is in the present moment.  When you experience the present moment, your pain will ease, and you may discover life with all its beauty.

​

It is not impulse to have compulsive thoughts,  your mind is bluffing you by your anxiety.  You will tend to become intertwined and desperate for reassurance.   Generally, reassurance occurs temporarily, and you may need to reduce your sensitivity to it.   It won't work by trying to reassure yourself that it will cease and completely disappear, as you may spiral and continue to get entangled with your battle of thoughts, you may continue to worry, struggle against your own mind, and fight to get them away.   It will only assist you to grow stronger in your battles if you attempt to avoid them.

Leave your thoughts alone, treat them as if they are not even interesting, and they will eventually fade into the background.  Take some steps to alter your process to overcome unwanted thoughts.

​

• Label the unwanted thoughts as "intrusive thoughts."

• Remind yourself that these thoughts are a process of giving you strength.

• Don't battle your mind.  Write your thoughts down.

• Assure your mind that the thoughts will pass in time.

• Pause. Give yourself time. and talk to someone. 

• Remind yourself that you cannot forget the past, but you can stand tall, and allow yourself to free your mind in ways you never thought were possible. It helps you to focus on the here and now, and also allows you to choose more empowering thoughts.

• Watch a film and listen to music, give yourself enjoyment.

• Expect the thoughts to come back again but remind yourself that you are in control, you can walk beside them.

Always seek professional guidance and spend time to speak with a professional health provider.  Never let the thoughts overtake your whole existence.  Your strength is in you .... it is in how strong you are to reach out and take those small steps in controlling your thoughts.
