… Feeling sorry for yourself is not good. It is a negative reaction, it is a big drain on your time and energy. Anything that drains your energy encourages a low self-esteem. We cannot deny allowing a few moments of wallowing in self-pity, but keep them very short. This very practice of keeping them short will help remove the bad habit of expecting them to happen in the first place.
