Suck it up
“Suck it up” may seem like an unsympathetic order if someone is barking it at you when you are complaining or crying. But if you use it as a form of self-discipline imagery, imagining your entire ventral surface gently being sucked up into the body (with your dorsal surface expanding to accomodate), it is quite a healthy exercise. Give it a try and see what you learn and how it makes you feel.
