For a self-induced perspective change that may not work for everyone: buy a war-time photography book, the ones with the really nasty gore, and have a two minute look at some of the pictures in the pages.
It's likely you'll physically want to throw up from just looking at the images, and this bodily reaction is for me one of the "deepest" ways of my body physically understanding how good I have it. I haven't had to do this in the last 5 years, and only did this 3 times total.
This can seem like it's wrong, and maybe it is, but it worked for me so maybe it'll work for you.
There's a side benefit to this, I've become more anti-war, which I think is a good quality to have.
