When we’re feeling yucky, no good and ready to give up, it’s really helpful to be kind to our sad and tired parts. When we show ourselves compassion, we create a little bit of space inside to see what the real problem might be. 

Temperance Octopus offers us a helpful spread for times like this. When we think the sky is falling, Temperance Octopus asks if we’re making mountains out of molehills and the recommends we look closely at these three questions:

1. Where am I blowing things out of proportion?
   
   
2. How can I come back to the present moment?
   
   
3. What can I learn from this experience?
