Poison Oak

I have recently had an encounter with poison oak.  At first, it was a small patch, but it spread out over a lot of places.  The itching has at some points been intense.  For some period I was really in resistance to it, itching, wishing it would go away, projecting how long it would last; it seemed like it would last forever.As I became aware that I was suffering and that there would probably be a long course of suffering, I decided to change my mind and totally accept it.  I decided to stop suffering.The itching has not decreased (actually it seems like it has), it will still run its course, but I have decided to stop suffering.  It's like a new superpower.  I am looking to see where else I can apply it.Where could you decide to stop suffering?
