Helpful encouraging statements like "you can do it" and "everything will be OK" remind you to put life's events into perspective, while "you look wonderful today" gives you the confidence to push on ahead. Compassionate cartoon faces assure you when it's needed and Instant Comfort Pocket Boxes reveal unfortunate images that make all else cheerful by comparison.
