8. Mindset

Learn all things OCD with the OCD Whisperer Podcast.

Today we are talking about Mindset work.

1. What are you paying attention to?  Consciously direct your attention!
2. What meaning you assign to your anxiety experience does influence how you feel about it.  (Is anxiety a threat?  Did you assign meaning to it that you cannot handle it?)
3. What you choose to do in response to your anxiety will either feed it or break it.  
   • Compulsively neutralizing it strengthens it.
   • Maybe OCD is an opportunity for growth?
   • Everyday is an opportunity to practice.
