Laundry Detergent

4 Replies

Even though I am not doing well with OCD, I have been able to keep one improvement going.

I am able to pour the laundry detergent in the washer machine for clothes, and not check it anymore.

I am able to resist checking in it.

I guess there is a positive thing that I am keeping up with it.

There is a thread of hope that I can hold onto in my progress with OCD.

I just wanted to share the brighter side.

One positive improvement, awareness of a thread of hope, acknowledging a silver lining can serve as a basis for more improvements over time.

Congratulations! Every good choice leads to another. That's my mantra, anyway.

My support group advised telling yourself, "Good Job!" when you accomplish something. You have accomplished something important, so I say "Good Job!" (PS I used to sit and watch the washing machine to convince myself that I saw suds and I had put the soap in. Not giving in to doing that sort of thing is definite something "bright.")

Not what you're looking for?
