Distress Tolerance

Improving the moment is replacing immediate negative events with more

positive. ones. Some strategies for improving the moment are cognitive

techniques having to do with changing appraisals of oneself

(ENCOURAGEMENT) or the situation (POSITIVE THINKING,

MEANING, IMAGINING). Some involve changing body responses to

events (RELAXING). Prayer and focusing on one thing in the moment

have to do with acceptance and letting go. A way to remember these skills is the word HIMPROVE".



Distress Tolerance and using"IMPROVE" the moment.... !

I = imaging; using your thoughts to find a calmer setting and thought.

M = meaning; using your knowledge to find purpose or experience.

P = prayer; letting God take over and give you wisdom.

R = relaxing; finding ways to relieve stress or distract yourself with something healthy until you can refocus.

O = one thing in the moment; we can cause ourselves more distress by lumping our difficulties together. Deal with only what is in this moment.

v = vacation; learn how to take vacations by enjoying something you love. give yourself time to practice getting away even in the mist of stress.

E = encouragement; cheerlead yourself! Let your inner thoughts talk to you as if you were talking to someone you love. Talk to yourself how you would like someone to talk to you. Focus on everything positive. Claim God's promises, claim favorite scriptures. Claim your worth.
