4. Practice Gratitude

When you live with a chronic condition it is easy to become isolated or feel sorry for yourself. Acknowledge your feelings and move on.

Pay attention to the moments in your life. Listen to the sound of a bird or watch the sun rise. Consider volunteering for a cause that is important to you.

By looking outside of yourself and helping other people, animals or the earth, you will gain an appreciation for your life and your pain may diminish.
