Taking a few steps

I have learned to take a few steps back.  That means that I will have to think about what is truly real and what it isn't.  I am feeling better today.  I have practiced it.  What is real is what is making me feel like I can focus.  Focusing is quite hard at times.  I realize that if I wish to have control over the obsessive thoughts, then I don't take pleasure in those thoughts.  It will also mean that I need to be more consistent in at least focusing on what is real and what it is not.
