Stop your pity party. To leave that bummer bash, don’t mull over your troubles. That only causes you to feel like you’re overwhelmed with sorrow.

Instead, take a brief respite. Then think of someone who is so bad off they would give almost anything to be you right now.

After you have done that, reflect on the joys in your life and what you can do for others today and/or this weekend. Then you can leave your pity party and join a pleasure party.
