Struggling with OCD and Spirituality

I think I understand your struggle, I’m sort of the same way. I struggle to know if it’s my intuition telling me to pick a card and then I overthink it and get stressed out that I’m not going to pick the one I’m supposed to and I can start to spiral if I’m not careful. Something that helps me a lot is grounding and centering myself. I love listening to a guided meditation for a while before I pull a card, and trying to make my environment as relaxing as possible. Blankets, pillows, scented candles, incense, low lighting, and once I feel peace, I make a rule for myself before I touch my cards. Like, I’m going to ask this question and this is how I will shuffle it. It helps to say it out loud sort of to the universe as if you’re telling the universe to put your card in the spot you’re going to end up at. For example. Before I touch my deck I’ll state my question (“what do I need to focus on this week) and then decide how I’m going to pick a card and say it out loud (“I’m going to shuffle the deck 5 times and pick the 5th card from the top”). Then I do exactly that, and see what I pull. With practice you can start to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition.

You can be spiritual and believe in a higher power without allowing it to take control over you and your actions! The essence of spirituality is to believe what you feel. Dive into your spiritual essence to find peace!!
