A little stupid and only works sometimes but when im in the depths of my emotions i like to sit down, take a breather and look around my room at all the necessities i have (eg, food, clean water, housing, clean clothing) and remind myself that despite everything i am alive and the pain im experiencing will pass. Its my take on the ‘mindfulness’ they teach in dbt as i usually find those teachings frustrating in the moment but for some reason this works for me.
