FLOAT way of dealing with obsessive thoughts.
Find your silent place. With me it is within the confines of my home. It is a place where I can be alone with my thoughts and pray. I wondered if I could respond to a negative thought in that way. I realize that prayer could also be a fight response. However, I have learned that prayer is honest, respectful communication with the Lord.
Let go of judgment. I admit that unfortunately, I can be a judgmental person who often sees things in a negative light. I would like to see myself in a less judgmental, negative light. I would also like to see the beauty in me like I do in others whether they are fat, skinny, slim, slender, obese, curvy, or plus sized.
Observe your thoughts. I finally realize and have no longer begun to just fight the thoughts. I have to see these thoughts for what they are. I also have to also see myself for who I am.
Awareness of your environment. I feel like being aware most of the time whenever I get afraid of having a thought or two. For instance, I was obsessed with a number of people like classmates and celebrities. I am afraid that I would go back. On the other hand, I never did go back to these obsessions.
Thankful for the experience. Being thankful and being grateful I realize can be the same thing, but they are different. I have become a different person as a result of having these thought. I am in tune with my spiritual self. In other words, I have drawn closer to the Lord. That is something I have noticed.
