The festive season is a time for celebration, parties, fun, expectation, Santa's arrival, gifts, family and friends, holiday and time to recharge. It can also make you feel incredibly lonely particularly if your lifestyle is such that you live alone, your friends are married or in relationships, you don't have children or family close by. You imagine that everyone else is out there enjoying themselves and that you are alone, despite being surrounded by people.
To overcome loneliness takes courage. It can be quite debilitating when you get into a downward spiral of negative thoughts and start to believe that no one wants to be with you. Loneliness means that you need to connect with other people. So pick up the phone and call a friend. Go out for a walk and say 'Good Morning' to people you meet. Volunteer for a local charity. It's a great way to make new friends and make a contribution to the world.
There is always someone out there who would appreciate a connection from you,
Best wishes,
