"IMPERFECTLY GOOD" - FREE ebook: April 6th, 7th, 10th & 11th. Acceptance, or willingness, means having an open mind and yielding to what is presented by life in that moment.

The wealthy have a money trick. When they need cash, they don't sell their stocks. They borrow against them.

@ripe_dao is live on Robinhood Chain, home of tokenized stocks. Deposit SPCX, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, GOOGL, or GME and borrow dollars against them in seconds.

No bank. No credit check. No selling.

Don't sell. Borrow. 💚 @RobinhoodCrypto

OCD and Uncertainty: You Can Choose to Do Something Different (ERP)
The driving force behind your compulsions are most likely the doubts. What if you were to let the doubts be? 

#OCDAwarenessWeek #OCD

[ahagen @ahagen]

It's #OCDAwarenessWeek! Spread the word. There are many people who are suffering in silence. If you are a clinician please become aware of all the #OCD themes and know that treatment is counterintuitive. Go to the https://t.co/m1TF1Ww11r to learn more about OCD. #OCDweek

Are you living a values-focused life?
The response prevention part of ERP is your ability to respond differently. The values-based exposures are about engaging in life and doing it with vitality despite the OCD mind’s unhelpful advice!

[ahagen @ahagen]

Are you doing what matters? Is OCD disrupting your life?
When you engage in ACT-informed exposures and apply psychological-flexibility skills, you will be able to disrupt the OCD cycle and start enjoying the areas of your life that are important to you.

[ahagen @ahagen]

When anxiety targets your faith, take courage!
Every day, notice if you are willing to embrace your faith and God’s unconditional love.

Values are the principles that can guide and motivate you every day. They help you keep going even during difficult times.

[ahagen @ahagen]

When uncertainty and other unpleasant external or internal events show up, you can learn to be willing to take what is offered in that instant and let your emotions and physical sensations take their course.

Thoughts can distract us from what matters most each day. Let’s remember: thoughts are “word bubbles” coming in and out of our minds. There is a way to respond to your thoughts, and it's not the way the scrupulous mind "thinks" you should!

[ahagen @ahagen]

Life can be better enjoyed when we focus on the here and now. Let's enjoy the process! Let the outcome take care of itself!

[ahagen @ahagen]

Trust in God During Adversity! We are loved by God. Life is hard, AND we can hold unto our faith and trust in God. God will sustain us in adversity. Don't ever lose hope!

[ahagen @ahagen]

Present Moment Awareness:
It's difficult to be in the here and now, and with practice we all can learn to catch ourselves when our attention goes somewhere else other than here.  It's possible. Just remember it takes time. It's a process.

Spiritual perfectionism is scrupulosity OCD! You can decide what option will bring you vitality and joy!
