Things to do When You’re Feeling Lonely <3 <3 <3

  • Force yourself to go to class/work/the park/sports practice/whatever you have going on. Sometimes it’s easier to dwell in our loneliness, but it doesn’t feel better. 
  • Take yourself on a date. No arguments about which restaurant this time!
  • Try to journal and identify why you’re lonely - it might help lessen the feeling if you can figure out when it’s coming from. 
  • Meet new people by attending meet-ups (see meetups.com for meetups in a city near you!) 
  • Volunteer somewhere. Taking care of others is self-care too! 
  • Watch a movie/read a fiction novel. Let yourself get caught up in a story sometimes, it’s okay. 
  • Meditate to connect with yourself more. 
  • Take a bath. 
  • Take a random bus/train to anywhere - don’t have a destination in mind, just go and enjoy the journey! 
  • Dance naked around your room…if you’re truly alone, do that crazy shit that you can never do in front of others. 
  • Adopt a cute pet. Big eyes, furry back, cute paws…helps a lot of people with loneliness. 
  • Reach out to a loved one who you don’t talk to enough. Reconnect with people. Force yourself to have conversations. Eventually, it will be more natural. 
  • Go for a walk/run somewhere. 
  • Go to a coffee shop, have small talk with people you’ll never see again. 
  • Disconnect from social media for some time. 
  • Make your bed, clean your room, cook yourself something…etc. 
  • Get a camera and take pictures of beautiful things you see outside. Create an album of beautiful sights you see around you (a dog barking, a child laughing, a balloon on a front step…etc.) 
  • Attend classes in your community like yoga, pole dancing, trampoline dancing, painting…etc. 
  • Start a 5 minute gratitude journal and record things that you’re thankful for, however small. 
  • Watch inspiring TED talks. 
  • Plan an imaginary (or a future) holiday - even put it down on paper! 
  • Create something new - a song, a story, a poem, a drawing, a painting…just create something channeling whatever you feel. 
  • Do something crazy. Don’t live your life in fear. Just dive into life head-first. Put yourself out there. Be uncomfortable sometimes. The loneliness will cease when you find yourself amongst all the craziness. :)

Bask in your enough-ness

Because everything you are seeking is inside of you. You give to yourself everything that you have and everything you will have- it’s all about YOUR energy and what YOU choose to focus on. So be enough for yourself and don’t stop until you ARE. You can grant yourself the epic feeling of being enough, always being more than enough of what you need, whether you are seeking love, guidance, ease, clarity… you are the source of that for yourself. If you are missing anything you can get it from you- in fact that is the only person you COULD POSSIBLY GET IT FROM.  Celebrate you, be enough for you, be enough for the world. Grant yourself that ease. You deserve it.
