Distress Tolerance
See Also Calendar
“Half-smile when you first wake up in the morning Hang a branch, any other sign, or even the word “smile” on the ceiling or wall so that you see it right away when you open your eyes. This sign will serve as your reminder. Use these seconds before you get out of bed to take hold of your breath. Inhale and exhale three breaths gently while maintaining the half smile. Follow your breaths.” ― Thích Nhất Hạnh, The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
Distress Tolerance means the coping skills necessary to tolerate unsolved problems, without making them worse.
"There are two main rules of crisis survival. The first rule is, if you are in a crisis and you can solve the problem now, solve it. Ok. Rule 1: Solve the problem if you can solve it. Alright. The second rule of crisis survival is if you can't solve the problem, survive it. Got that? What are they? The first rule: solve it. The second rule: survive it. "
