Self Pity
Self pity is a comforting behavior that fills a
need for obsessive thinking. Therefore, the key
to beating it is to recognize it when it creeps
into your thoughts and eliminate it immediately.
Because feeling sorry for oneself becomes a
pattern over time, you need to retrain your brain
not to think so negatively.

1. Zero Tolerance for Yourself
This is what got me on the road to recovery
when it came to my self pity. I simply made a
pact with myself that I would not allow myself to
indulge in it any more. This was a re-training of
my brain a new way of thinking for me. In most
cases, this mental policy worked out really
well for me. However, when self-pity persisted, I
had to seek other means.

2. Move Your Body
Physical exercise is critical for arresting this
type of depression. If you force yourself to be
physically active and really get your heart rate
going, this will have a profound effect on your
emotional well being. If you move your body your
mind will follow. Physical energy and motivation
can empower your whole life. Getting in shape can
be a springboard to better emotional health. This
can be a huge piece of the puzzle that many
people will overlook or simply discount. Get
active and youll be happier for it!

3. Choose Gratitude
This is a direct attack on self pity you cannot
feel both grateful and sorry for yourself at the
same time. The two feelings are completely
incompatible. Gratitude is the ticket out of
misery and self-absorption. If you have to, sit
down and force yourself to write a list of
everything you are grateful for. My sponsor tells
me to list at least 50 things. Seems a bit
simplistic, but getting it all down in writing
can work wonders for you.
