There are seven steps that you need to follow in order to get your mind primed to become OCD free. Let's go over those right now.

Step one: You want to realize that you have OCD. You must realize what actions and thoughts that you have are OCD and which ones are not. Step two is to believe that you can get rid of OCD for good. You can only do what you believe in your mind that you can do.

You see it all the time, people who do things that almost seem like magic to us. Whether it's a guy picking up a beautiful girl in minutes or vice-versa. Or someone who makes billions of dollars while you work for pennies. Or a magician who makes an elephant disappear!

When people who have OCD see people become OCD free, it seems like magic to them because their mind just didn't believe it was possible. But the person who did it believed it and that is why it is possible for them.

Step three is to realize that it is all in your mind. It has nothing to do with out side factors, although sometimes they can aggrivate the situation. You need to realize that it is all in your brain, basically a mixture of electrical signals and chemicals that you can re-balance with your thoughts and actions.

The fourth step is to realize that you create your own OCD. So many people ask me why it seems like their OCD keep changing and morphing. It's because you create it in your mind. You are using brain power subconsciously to create your own OCD, thus the vicious circle.

The fifth step is to realize that OCD is not real. OCD is a name that was given to a set of common symptoms that a person experiences, or a common set of behaviors, but everyone is different and everyone's OCD different.

It's different because it is created by the sufferer. For instance, if you have a cold, all the signs are there, runny nose, maybe congestion, cough perhaps, etc. But with OCD, one person can obsess about their laundry and another person can obsess about washing their hands, two completely different things. It's made up by the sufferer.

The sixth step is to realize that people that don't have OCD don't think about it. They don't think about rituals and they don't think about their fears or obsess over them. You need to get yourself to a point where you can think like someone who does not have OCD. In fact, because you went through OCD, once you become OCD free, you will be able to perceive things in other people that most people won't. So there is some good that comes from having OCD.

The seventh step is to realize that realizing the above things is half the battle in becoming OCD free! I would suggest that you learn these steps and learn them well, as they lay the foundation and make it possible for you to become OCD free! Without them, you will always have OCD. Ask yourself this question, "Why am I doing this to myself?"

"Become OCD free!" Derek J. Soto is an ex-sufferer of OCD who will show you how to get rid of your OCD for life, period.
