Pain free pockets

When our mood is low, we believe our pain is persistent (it’ll go on forever), personal (it’s my fault) and pervasive (it’s all around me in everything I do). But, remember this: nothing goes on forever; it’s never only your fault, and there are always pain free pockets. Relief is to be found in these pockets, so look for them and notice when they present themselves. Nurture them. When the pain feels almost intolerable, reminding yourself just of the possibility of their existence -might be enough.
