DEALING WITH LONELINESS.

Loneliness is a mental and emotional struggle that can be very dangerous. In fact, it's a reaction to feeling disconnected from others either physically, emotionally, or both. It is not an easy emotion to live with.

However, loneliness is different from when a person decides to be alone. Wanting to be all by yourself can mean you need sometime alone to reflect, think or you want to rest.

Loneliness most times could come as a result of heart break, when there is no body to share your pains with, when you feel like the world is against you and when you feel rejected by someone.

Learning how to deal with loneliness as an occasional feature is an important skill that can greatly improve the quality of one’s life. But what can we do if we experience an intense bout of loneliness?

There are ways you can mitigate your feelings of loneliness and begin to feel a deeper sense of wholeness and connection. In order to get out of loneliness there is a need to know what led to the lonely state.

Once you are able to figure out the cause, you can try out the five points below.

BE POSITIVE
No matter what you must have experienced stay positive. There is strength in positivity. Being positive can help you deal with your painful situation fast.

ENGAGE IN EXERCISE.
Exercise to me have proven to be one perfect way of getting rid of loneliness. Exercise set your mind right and help you see a bright day every morning.

LOOK FOR PEOPLE OR PLACES
Visiting friends and family whenever you are feeling loneliness helps alot. If you don't have anyone to visit, go out for sight seeing or window shop. It really does help in times of loneliness.

LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC
Music is a source of inspiration. It heals the soul. Good songs always pass on a message to us and gives sense of existence.

LISTEN TO GOOD SPEAKERS.
Words are powerful as we know. Words can build and at the same time destroy. If you engage yourself with good messages, you will find healing before you could even realize anything. "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." Ralph Waldo Emerson
