Loneliness.
You may have felt it at some point; it’s normal. It’s only a
problem when you get the feeling of being trapped in loneliness; suffocated by
it. No one can fill that void for you. It becomes a matter of you embracing the
solitude and accepting yourself – give yourself time to navigate and learn from
the experience and begin to love yourself.
A few tips:
1. Loneliness is a feeling
Your feeling may have become an emotional habit, but chances are
this feeling has been triggered by an event that is happening currently or
previously. Recognize it, accept it and awaken your power to change how you
feel.
2. Be kind.
Be kind to yourself by expressing your wants and desires and
choose a way to be kind to others. This action will create a sense of
self-worth as you make a positive difference.
3. Identify your faulty thought patterns.
Pay attention to harmful thoughts and replace any negative
self-talk with realistic thoughts or affirming messages. Mindfulness,
meditation and exercise can also help you center yourself and tune in with your
thoughts and feelings.
8. Accept yourself.
You may not love yourself or be ready to love yourself – so accept
yourself. You are the only one who is capable of filling the void. Only you are
capable of developing yourself. Accept and love yourself first so you do not
become dependent on others to fill the void.
