self-talk to help end obsessions
that thought isn't helpful right now
now is not the time to think about it. i can think about it later
this is irrational. i'm going to let it go
i won't argue with an irrational thought
this is not an emergency. i can slow down and think clearly about what i need
this feels threatening and urgent, but it really isn't
i don't have to be perfect to be ok
i don't have to figure out this question. the best thing to do is just drop it
it's ok to make mistakes
i already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational
i have to take risks in order to be free. i'm willing to take this risk.
it's ok that i just had that thought/image, and it doesn't mean anything. i don't have to pay attention to it
i'm ready to move on now
i can handle being wrong
i don't have to suffer like this. i deserve to feel comfortable
that's not my responsibility
that's not my problem
i've done the best i can
it's good practice to let go of this worry. i want to practice.
