| one thing that works wonderfully for me is to replace the ritual with an easier one, for example, wear a circle ring around your ankle, or draw a circle on your underwear, so you are all the time inside a circle , and all the time protected inside a circle, so when you enter a square, you dont need to perform any ritual, because you are already protected by your circle and this neutralizes all the squares sounds funny and irrational but our rituals arent rational too , lol i used to perform rituals all day, sometimes, when crossing a street, the traffic light opened for the cars when i was still performing my ritual, and i continue performing in the middle of the road, and the cars came and i had to run to the other side and the cars drivers thinking i was crazy i had wounds in my hands because knocking the wood for hours nonstop i used to miss the subway ride because i had to wait for someone dressing in pink to get in the subway before me i didnt try any medication because i didnt want to mess my brain with brain affecting medicines one day i decided couldnt live like this, and i tied a string with my protection color around my wrist and i said to myself the string protects me and i didnt need any other ritual anymore, then i was free of 99% of the rituals its so good to feel free in the beggining, when i feel the urge of performing some ritual, because of the habit, I remembered myself that I dont need and remember im already protected after some time you dont remember the other rituals and your brain gets the habit of being free you can try to find some ritual to perform just once a day after wake up, that is valid for the whole day, so you dont need any other ritual along the day, then you are free the whole day this helped me and changed my life , hope can help you too |
