Do you know of any particular ways to keep score on your ability to manage suffering? Particularly if you don't have recurring or frequent sources of negative feelings?
It sounds like you're doing it right already..
Heh. Well, I still do feel pretty bad about some things -- they just don't pop up often. I was wondering because I don't want to start fights in order to have things to worry about.
You can imagine what you'd do and actually get some useful information. If you don't like the way you react in your imagination, fix it, and it can actually apply in real life too.
You could simply have a file where, for each day, you mark off whether you've gone the whole day without suffering or not.
Note that suffering doesn't have to be anything extreme. Suppose you have to carry some heavy, uncomfortable bags, or you feel mild annoyance about somebody saying something inappropriate. Those are still sources of suffering, if only mild ones.
