3. The third cause is to cease your work because you see something considered a bad omen. The cure for this is to continue with your work and do not let anything affect your heart or mindset. The supposed ill omen will not cause you harm or loss in your work.
4. The fourth cause is to be uninformed about the harms of believing in such things. This can be remedied by reading the harms and destructions of superstitious beliefs, pondering over them and not allowing them to affect you.
5. The fifth and most common cause is to not recite any litanies during your daily affairs. Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه mentions how to solve this:
I have written some short and extremely beneficial litanies to recite for whenever you begin to develop superstitious thoughts. These are extracted from Quran and hadith. You and your family can recite them as many times as you like. If you heart becomes resistant to these superstitions, then this is indeed good. Otherwise, recite these once when superstitious inclinations enter your heart. Know the promise of Allah and His Messenger are true, and the fearful tricks of Satan are false. With the help of Allah, superstitious beliefs will be eradicated and no harm will reach you.
