A technique I use to get around this problem is to think in terms of orders of magnitude. What you can do is ask yourself (for example) about being in ten corresponding situations, then ask yourself about that (i.e. the set of ten situations) happening ten times, then about that happening ten times. This is also, with a little practice, an effective way to develop a visceral (and accordingly mind-blowing) sense of cosmic/microscopic scales, long periods of time, and so forth—cf. the Powers of Ten video.
