One of the best ways to get out of the self-pity trap is to do some "instant bookkeeping." For every entry of misery on the debit side of our ledger, we can surely find a blessing to mark on the credit side: the health we enjoy, the illnesses we don't have, the friends who love us and who allow us to love them, the gift of another 24 hours, a good day's work. If we but try, we can easily list a whole string of credits that will far outweigh the debit entries which cause self-pity.
Is my emotional balance on the credit side today?

Now thats a clever way to look at things. And a useful way to use self-pity time which would otherwise be wasted.
I like it.
