Record your OCD obsessions:Concentrate on one specific obsession and record it to a tape recorder,smart phone or laptop.Recount the obsessive sentence,story exactly as it comes into your mind.Play the record back to yourself,over and over for a 30 minute period each day,until listening to the obsession no longer causes you to feel highly anxious.By continuously confronting your obsession you will gradually become less anxious.You can then repeat the exercise for a different obsession.
Practice healthy eating habits: Eat plenty of carbohydrates such as whole grains,fruits and vegetables.Not only do they stabilize blood sugar but also boost serotonin,a neurotransmitter with calming effects.Going too long without eating leads to low blood sugar,which can make you feel more anxious.
