5 ways to not feel lonely
How to stop isolating yourself and becoming happy? how to get rid of loneliness and find yourself in life?
1. Help Others
Sit with your child's friends so that they can finally go to a romantic dinner. Join a charity trip to the orphanage, get a dog. To help others and feel that you need someone is a very healing feeling. To achieve happiness, it is important not only to receive support but also to provide it.
2. Communicate with people
It's obvious, right? Keep in touch with colleagues - go together for dinner, invite to coffee and do not refuse such invitations yourself, do not miss corporate parties. Sign up for group training, go to cognitive seminars and training. There, besides gaining useful skills and knowledge, you will be able to communicate with like-minded people.
3. Sleep enough
Sleep disorders are one of the first signs of loneliness. For a long time you can not fall asleep, often wake up at night, and in the daytime you can not get rid of sleepiness? Break out of this vicious circle. It's as obviously as if you need homework help ontario. Chronic lack of sleep is not enough that prevents you from going into contact with other people, so it is also the cause of a constant bad mood and greatly undermines immunity. What to do? Here are a few of my favorite tricks: 30 minutes before going to sleep, put aside the smartphone and laptop (blue light from their screens disturbs sleep), take a warm shower and spread on the body cream. Completely, including heels. I found that as soon as I spend an extra couple of minutes to apply the cream on my feet and massage them lightly, I completely relax. But most importantly - go to bed at the same time. Only this way the habit can form.
 
4. Remain open
Loneliness makes us secretive, suspicious and sullen. Lonely people are more difficult than usual to come into contact with a new person. If you notice such changes in yourself, and each new acquaintance perceive negatively in advance, then try to become more open. Get a habit of first talking, smiling at the barista at coffee shops and vendors in stores.
 
5. Ask yourself the right questions
Do not ask yourself: "What's wrong with me?" Or "When will it end?". The correct question to ask yourself is, "What exactly do I lack to stop being lonely?" Perhaps you just need a best friend. Or a romantic partner. Or you want to be part of a big and friendly group. Or maybe you just do not like living alone in an empty apartment?
There are many reasons and varieties of loneliness. Not all people want to have close friends if they have a husband or wife. Not all people like big companies, some prefer to spend time in the company of the closest. But as soon as you are honest with yourself and understand what you do not have enough for happiness, it will be very easy to overcome loneliness. With the help of these habits, for example. "
