Do not get overwhelmed by your superstitions

Superstitions have existed since man was able to ask questions. They are perfectly normal. However, they should not be an anguish in our everyday life, nor should they make it difficult.
If we are completely obsessed with them, it may be necessary to consult a doctor.
Otherwise, we can first make an inventory of our superstitions.
We make the list of them as and when they come to our mind and we write what we think it will happen to us if we do not follow them.
Then, we may write, next to each one, the impression that we feel when we are guided by it : annoyance, irritation, anger, sadness, joy ...
We may also identify the frequency of their influence on us.
Following this, we will seek the origin and the meaning of each of our superstitions, on the Internet for example.
Once all the information gathered and included in our list, we will read everything again and see if we still consider our superstitions in the same way.
When we are well informed and we can objectively look at our superstitions, there is nothing wrong to keep someof them, especially those inherited from our family or those we share with friends. In this case, they can serve to strengthen the membership in a group or a culture and we can remember that superstitions are not to be taken literally but for their symbolic meaning.
