Obsessions

Looking for a right definition of obssesion I found in the website www.minddisorders.com the next one: an obsession is an unwelcome, uncontrollable, and persistent idea, thought, image, or emotion that a person cannot help thinking even though it creates significant distress or anxiety.

According to that definition we can say that an obssesion is something that can take the control of your body and your mind. If you have one there could be a moment in which you can't do a lot of things that you used to do, because your mind is telling you to satisfy your obsession. And there is when your life becomes a disaster that you can't control... 

The excess of everything can lead you to an obsession. So you can get obsessed with anything, good or bad. That may sound like a little bit impossible, but it is true!. The most common examples are food, money, plastic surgery, sex, violence, sports and videogames.

I feel so gratefull because until now I don't have any obsession, but saddly there is a lot of people that have one. Below I put the names of some renowned people with their respective obsessions: 

-Cameron Díaz: getting away of germs. She says, she washes her hands more than ten times a day, she maintains her house extremely clean and she open doors with her elbows to avoid touching germ-infested knobs.

-Alec Baldwin: cleaning. He says, he can't live without a extremely cleaned and organized house. Is incredible but if someone move something in his house, it doesn't matter how small it can be, he always realizes that. 

     

-David Beckham: symmetry and perfection. He says that all in his house have to be in perfect order, and in pairs, if there are three books on a table one most be added, or one must be removed.

     

To conclude we can say that obsessions are not good, so you better avoid them doing everything what you want with moderation. But if is too late and you already have one, you can perfectly live with it if you recognize that you have it and, because of this, take the necessary measures to control it.
