I remember many years ago on some talk show they filmed a woman doing her rituals and her face looked like she was in pain...I thought if only she can see herself, how much pain she is in. So lately, I decided to take notice of my face when I do rituals and yup, I was unknowingly scrunching it up as if I was in deep physical pain. When I catch myself I try to straighten out my face, and it sort of knocks me out of the ritual and makes me more self aware to not repeat. It just sort of makes me think how horrible ocd is, I used to think the pain I am feeling is just inside, I had no idea it was showing up right on my face.
