10 Things You Can Do When You Start Feeling Lonely
There's a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. You can
be alone even when you're in a crowd. But you can never be alone when
you're with yourself. Think about it...
Don't fight loneliness. Accept it. It's not a disease; it's actually a cure for broken souls.
We couldn’t agree more when a stoic Sherlock tells Watson, “Work is the best antidote to sorrow, my dear Watson.” Getting busy with your work is a productive way to avoid this feeling.
Go for a quick run to clear out the fog of thoughts from your mind.
Explore new places alone. Try out the local food and understand how your culture differs from that of the locals.
We can't stress on this enough! Dance like nobody's watching. Lose your inhibitions by dancing to the tunes you love.
Books teach us the importance of solitude. If you’re a reader, then a good book is the only company you need.
Start jotting down your thoughts on a blog. Write about your interests, narrate an incident or simply put pictures and quotes which inspire you. You'll be amazed at how much you discover about yourself.
Learning a new language is quite challenging. Speaking a foreign language, other than your first language will always make you feel good.
Always remember Oscar Wilde's beautiful quote - “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
