You can preview the advantage principle even at this stage: in any unpleasant situation, ask what is the advantage in this. The question instantly shifts you to a more favourable film reel. It is not denial — it is a deliberate jump between sectors using a different interpretation. Finding a real advantage, even a small one, breaks the complaining frame that keeps you on the heavy line.
