Guest Anon Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 A mantra is a set of words repeated many times to make a person feel better. So, "certainty in an uncertain world" is probably the opposite of a mantra! Anon Link to comment
taurean Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 "Feel the fear and do it anyway" would be a good approach but I'd beware of using mantras in OCD as they can be come a compulsive ritual . I use a mantra in buddhist meditation, but I choose very simple ones and use the mantra purely for a short while as a focus, then switch back to focusing on the breath. I use something like the word "peace" or "relax" because the word symbolises the mind body sptrit sttae I am looking to achieve. Link to comment
Guest fanno1uk Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 oh I've picked the meaning up wrong i was looking at at as a type of label for someone and a person with ocd would be looking for certainty in an uncertain world, but yes it would become a habit ,i know labelling is wrong but i was trying to describe ocd to a person and thats the description that i used Link to comment
