How can I get a handle on my obsessive tendencies? I understand you've conquered this issue.
Thanks,
Counting The Seconds Till You Reply
Dear Counting,
Conquered may be a slight exaggeration. It's taken me years of hard work to perfect a technique that works 26 percent of the time, which is better than nothing. Here's what I do when my noggin starts spinning like a rogue dreidel: I stop everything and contemplate my pipik, or pupik, if you prefer, for exactly 32 seconds. It helps to time myself. Why? Because the contemplation of one's pipik should never last more than 32 seconds. It's right there in all the best medical journals. If you pipik-gaze for only 32 seconds, you'll successfully block the original source of your obsession. If you pipik-gaze for more than 32 seconds, you'll find yourself asking, "When's the last time I had my pipik checked out?" "Where can I find a good Pipik Specialist?" "Will my insurance cover it, or is my pipik out of pocket?" You'll create a new obsession, on top of the old obsession, and you need that like a kick in the keppy.
You're welcome,
Short Jewish Gal
