Pause
Be aware of the sensations
of breathing in and breathing out
for the following three breaths

"You can have compassion for yourself-which is not self-pity.
You're simply recognizing that ‘this is tough, this hurts,'
and bringing the same warmhearted wish for suffering to lessen or end
that you would bring to any dear friend grappling with the same pain, upset, or challenges as you."
-Dr. Rick Hanson
(excerpt from book Just One Thing)
Wishing you kindness
