OCD behavior ( a rut ) is at its root a survival mechanism.
The water is always there so I will always go there to get a drink.
Well worn ruts get deeply entrenched to the point where you just do instead of think why?

A number of years ago I had an aha moment about the ruts that set my life free. I am the one that chose to establish a particular rut. To be free of a particular rut, all I have to is design a new rut, wear it down with a few uses so it is comfortable, then nix the old rut.
