<h3> Addressing Your Problem </h3>

Sometimes I seek to pity myself and address my pain. It usually will facilitate a state in which  I feel better. However, it doesn’t work unless it’s a pity with compassion as against pity with aversion. In pity with aversion, we’re fighting against however our life is, that is like striking our heads against a wall. 

Angry pitying, such as, “I hate that I can’t discover the way to get better,” or threatening thoughts, such as, “This pain better not loiter around all day,” aren't within the party spirit!

By distinction, pity with compassion means we’re caring for our illness and our pain, as we tend to feel pity for ourselves by wordlessly or softly saying—perhaps even whining. I don’t need to be in such pain.

<h3> Changing Your Environment </h3>

This is the foremost effective coping mechanism for me; sometimes I even have to force myself to form the initial move. Doing one thing, anything (non-harmful of course) will take a nasty day and help me see it from a brand new, brighter perspective. My “go to” modification of surroundings and I usually go for a drive. You may take a shower or sit outside for a little or ask a friend to come over.

Another way to alter your mental surroundings is to get yourself laughing. "Laughter is the best medicine” although it may be cliche sometimes there is some truth to these sayings. Generally, the simplest way to get through a foul day is to just…get through it…so you may, in addition, get through it with some laughter. Notice a funny picture show or an old comedy show and resolve to laugh at something that’s remotely funny. Don’t hold back!

<h3> These Feelings Are Not Permanent </h3>

If I’m having a foul day, generally I even have to force myself to alter my environment: unhealthy days will produce a stubborn resistance in me, an inclination I’m certain all of you are attentive to. On the other hand, I keep in mind that change, any change, may well be useful, and so I ask to go for a ride, or I put on a funny film, or I try to pick up and learn a new skill. Although these changes don’t magically flip a nasty day into a decent one, they’re a soothing balm that helps make the day manageable.

Emotions are impermanent. Moods are impermanent. And yes, even bad days are impermanent. This reflection is hugely useful to me. It permits me to recognise that I never grasp what tomorrow has got to bring. It'd be one thing quite welcome—a calmer spirit, a higher mood…even a decent day.
