Our brains like to wallow in self-pity. The problem with that is that it keeps us stuck and powerless. Learning the 7 tools to manage your pain and to move yourself out of self-pity will help you feel empowered and creative for any circumstance.

Regularly feeling sorry for yourself over a long period of time can also lead to depression. And it can even lead to physical health issues like coronary heart disease. Even more alarming; an article written in The Independent states that self-pity can be as bad for your heart as smoking 20 cigarettes a day!

Here are some questions that have helped me see how my current circumstances can actually be beneficial to me:

How can I make myself a priority so I have more to give others?
How can the future be better because of this?
What do I love about my life?
What am I grateful for?
How is this perfect?
How is this happening for me not against me?
How can I make choices that benefit me and everyone around me at the same time?
How can I make what is happening fun?
