How to stop being superstitious by smileysarah221

"Annoying but in the end, good."

How I did it: So, I've been superstitious since I was eleven years old. I have absolutely no idea where I got it from and ever since I realized that the superstition was practically taking over my life, I wanted to stop. Everyday, I tried my hardest to not think about things that might be considered superstitious! It didn't work! I was superstitious for almost 3 years. Every time I tried to think about something else, it just got worse. So as a result, I've been focused more on my superstition than I have been on God and what I really should be focused on. 

And just a few weeks ago, I realized that it was just stupid and not worthwhile and that none of the crap that I thought would happen happened! So, I stopped being superstitious and this time it worked! =) 

Thank you Lord! =) =) =) 

Lessons & tips: It's really hard to stop, but it's worth it! Just say to yourself, "Is this actually possible?" Or if you're Christian, say "God wouldn't allow this to happen to me. This is ridiculous!!" It didn't work the first time, but it did on the last time! 

Resources: God, my brain, myself and my mind :)

    I'm sick of being superstitious! 2 months ago

    Everyday, something new pops into my head and I think, “That might actually happen to me!” .... but in the very back of my head, I know it’s impossible and I’m just being superstitious again! Why can’t I just not think about that kind of stuff? It really annoys me! This is a goal I am determined to complete!

    its just silly 20 months ago

    I was superstitious when i was a little kid, but I am not in the slightest now. its just plain silly!

    Me and my mom was watching the last part of the Davidson/Kansas NCAA Basketball tournament game today and we were both for Davidson because well.. everyone likes a nice upset. and she told me she couldn’t watch it because she felt she was bad luck to Davidson so she stopped watching for a little while.

    Davidson had the ball down by 2 with about 15 seconds left, and my mom decided to come back in the room and watch it. Davidson missed a 3 pointer at the end so they lose the game, my mom tells me if she wouldn’t of watched they would of won. I was like “no no no” so that reminded me of how UN-superstitious I am :)

    Two superstitions left for me 2 years ago

    The 1st one I don’t remember right now.
    The 2nd one is that I don’t do Direct Deposit. The only time in my life I did Direct Deposit, I left my job the week after.

    Superstition or..... 3 years ago

    borderline Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?!
    I noticed the other day when i was driving the 100 acre site at work with someone. They were yapping away but i didn’t hear hardly anything he said as i tried to covertly salute all the Magpies…!
    Then there’s;
    1. Having to go underneath the exact same roadsigns and in the same order when i’m out running.
    2. Never stepping on the bottom stair at home.
    3. Always having to have the eggs in the egg-box in a perfectly symmetrical pattern [Axis of symmetry is allowed to pass centrally through an egg…] even if it means having to eat 2 eggs when i only really want one.
    4. All my time pieces have to be 9 minutes ahead of the actual time….
    [i’ve even just saluted attached picture..that can’t be right]
