I compare whatever ****ty thing just happened to me to the worst thing that's ever happened to me and I use the reminder that it's not that bad to get over it. And it's hard for me to feel all that bad for myself to begin with when I think about the fact that I live in the US, I can basically do and say whatever I want no matter who it offends, I have plenty of food, clean water, and enough money left over to take care of 5 animals. I don't have it even half as bad as people in the world that are starving, or who have to work 16 hour days every day just to get by.
