Thank you for the replys everyone I appreciate it. I admire the examples you gave me.This explains why when the thoughts come, I twitch my head to the side, to "start all over." Sometimes when I clear my head, I envision a sky with clouds, almost to substitute the image. And for some awkward reason, it helps when I look at the time. The time as to be a nice round number like 3:05 or 5:10. I never thought about the concept of "rituals" till recently.
