Imagery
A safe room inside you, a calm scene, yourself coping well.
Meaning
Find or create some purpose or value in the pain. Make lemonade out of lemons.
Prayer
Open your heart to a higher power or your own Wise Mind. Ask for strength to bear this moment. (If this fits you.)
Relaxation
Muscle relaxation, a hot bath, deep breathing, massage your neck or feet.
One thing in the moment
Put your whole attention on what you’re doing right now.
Vacation
A brief break: covers over your head for 20 minutes, a blanket in the park, phone off for an hour.
Encouragement
Cheerlead yourself: “I can stand it.” “It won’t last forever.” “I’m doing the best I can.”
