Remind yourself that you don’t know how long any particular symptom or other concern will last. It won’t last indefinitely, and it might change sooner than you think. (See chapter 15) ▸ If a thought about the uncertainty of the future persists, acknowledge the thought and then. . .just drop it, bringing awareness to the present moment. Try Byron Katie’s practice of stating what you’re doing physically right now: “Man lying on bed, resting.”
