<human>:  How can I stop my superstitious behavior?
<bot>: One way to stop superstitious behavior is to challenge your own beliefs. When you catch yourself engaging in superstitious activities or thinking superstitious thoughts, use mindfulness or cognitive behavioral therapy to examine why you believe certain things. Ask yourself questions such as, "What is the real likelihood that I'm in control of this situation?" and take time to consciously recognize when your thoughts are non-rational. You can also make a conscious effort to practice distracting activities, such as reading, taking a walk, or doing a crossword puzzle, when you feel superstitious urges coming on. Lastly, talk to a mental health professional if you feel that your superstitious behavior is affecting your day-to-day life.
