1. Acknowledge that you feel as awful as you do (as it’s crucial that we validate our
negative emotions.)
2. Identify the source (which may not be obvious).
3. Practice self compassion, and be gentle with yourself.
4. Identify the thoughts that are making the pain worse
(like “I’ll never get over this”; or “I’m totally worthless.”)
4. Work on challenging your thinking so it’s more accurate.
5. Work on coming to
terms with your new reality (for example, if you’ve failed an exam or a
relationship has ended).
6. Try to find something meaningful (perhaps a lesson you
can learn).
7. Remember that tomorrow is a brand new day.
