Help

What is helping me at the moment. Lowering compulsive behavior 1) Places slightly more gaps between compulsive behaviors in your day-to-day Examples: food and phone “Okay I’ll eat, but not now immidiately because I feel like it, but I’m first going to do my activity for 5 more minutes, THEN I allow myself to eat. If it is difficult go to 3 min, 2 min, 1 min, 30 sec. Whatever feels doable and like progress. 2) Return to the body At the moment you might be worried and feeling the urge at the same time “oh no i feel like watching it” In a gentle tone remind yourself to calm down and like a friend guide yourself to a different behavior. For example something that is great: breathing in a controlled manner and fully engage with that for 10 full ‘reps’. You can use this app for that. Or do 10 push ups and drinks some water. Perhaps do all three, you get the point. We leave the mental “worrying” and return back to our body through awareness of breath, weight, other sensations. Hope that helped Isaac 👊🏼

My favorite quote is “the pain of regret is always worse than the pain of disipline”

Your not alone I folded and the pain I feel is so bad it's hard for me to even sit alone with myself because of the regret please don't be like me
