I couldn&#8217;t work out how I was supposed to accept my thoughts or sit quietly with my thoughts. It seemed impossible, and I was frustrated with how many people were suggesting it as a way of helping with OCD. I tried it briefly and gave up quickly. Many years later, I tried it again, and this time, something stuck. To this day, I do not have a regular mindfulness practice, although it is very much a strategy in my toolbox for when I feel the beginnings of OCD creeping up on me. I also use it to help me when I am overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts or when I feel tightness in my body. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"_9Nlgm Dd46l fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-paragraph=\"26ttb31401\" id=\"viewer-26ttb31401\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"KmEWy\"><span>If you\u2019re on the journey of OCD recovery, you\u2019ve probably heard about mindfulness too. Maybe, like me at first, you think it sounds a bit unhelpful &#8211; like something that involves sitting cross-legged, trying to empty your mind while soothing music plays. But I learned that mindfulness isn\u2019t about stopping thoughts; it\u2019s about changing how you relate to them. And when it comes to OCD, that can be a real game-changer!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"c-9Q0 oIwRx fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-heading=\"vaia8451\" id=\"viewer-vaia8451\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span aria-hidden=\"https:\/\/www.tamingolivia.com\/post\/true\" id=\"just-what-is-mindfulness-vaia8451\"\/><span class=\"A7PBN\"><span>Just What is Mindfulness?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"_9Nlgm Dd46l fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-paragraph=\"97fy4204343\" id=\"viewer-97fy4204343\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"KmEWy\"><span>Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, of being fully aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment. It\u2019s not about forcing yourself to be calm or having a perfectly still mind (spoiler: that\u2019s impossible). Instead, it\u2019s about noticing what\u2019s happening in your mind without getting caught up in it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"_9Nlgm Dd46l fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-paragraph=\"luka2457\" id=\"viewer-luka2457\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"KmEWy\"><span>For those of us with OCD, intrusive thoughts can feel like there is no end in sight. They can be totally consuming. Our natural instinct is to fight them, analyse them, or try to push them away &#8211; but that often makes them stronger and reinforces the OCD Loop. Mindfulness offers a different approach. It encourages us to acknowledge the thoughts, allows them to be there, and chooses not to engage with them. I find it helpful to imagine letting intrusive thoughts pass by like clouds in the sky. I know other people imagine their intrusive thoughts like watching cars drive past or trains travel through the station they are standing at. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"c-9Q0 oIwRx fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-heading=\"tf5wp459\" id=\"viewer-tf5wp459\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span aria-hidden=\"https:\/\/www.tamingolivia.com\/post\/true\" id=\"how-does-mindfulness-help-with-ocd-tf5wp459\"\/><span class=\"A7PBN\"><span>How Does Mindfulness Help with OCD?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"_9Nlgm Dd46l fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-paragraph=\"67gs8139218\" id=\"viewer-67gs8139218\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"KmEWy\"><strong style=\"font-weight:700\"><span>Mindfulness helps create space between you and your thoughts.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"_9Nlgm Dd46l fUDW- lqKvG\" dir=\"auto\" data-ricos-paragraph=\"30s0o142244\" id=\"viewer-30s0o142244\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"KmEWy\"><span>OCD tries to convince us that our thoughts have meaning, that they are urgent and important.
