7 tips for dealing with loneliness.

1). Realise that loneliness is an illusion of the mind.

Loneliness is an illusion off the mind and confuses us into thinking that we are on our own. The thought of loneliness happens often when we believe then there is no one we can relate to or get on with. However there are billions of beings on this planet and we all connected with each other. In the end, we all want one thing. Happiness. 😊

2). We are all connected.

As mentioned above, we are all beings are connected to each other. All of life is dependant on one another. Our plants provide us with oxygen. Our parents provide us with basic knowledge, wisdom and love. Water provides us with hydration. Nature provides us with unconditional love.

3). Live in the moment.

If you are feeling lonely, it could be because you are despairing from the past or worrying about the future. In both cases, you have lost touch with the present moment. When we are in the present moment, when we are in the NOW of life, we realise that we can be happy right NOW. Learn to live in this moment. The past was what it was and the the future will be whatever it will be.

4).You do not need other people or things to make you happy.

We live in a very materialistic world and it creates an illusion the the more we have, the happier we will be. This however is a dangerous psychological trap. We start to accumulate things that we actually don't need. More to the point of this blog, some of us believe that we that we have to be popular to be happy. This is a lie that society likes to tell us and believing it leads to a lot of stress, pressure and for many of us, a lot of misery. Remember, you can be happy on your own and you do not need to depend on anyone for happiness. It is better to go on the right path on your own that go on the wrong path with everyone else.

5). Realise that there are 2 versions of the self.

I have realised recently in my own spiritual journey that there are 2 versions of the self. The inner-self and the outer-self. The inner-self is your internal world. The inner body and your honest thoughts and feelings. The outer-self is your outer body and the way your present yourself to others. Try to have a relationship with yourself and see if there is a connection between the inner-self and the outer-self.

6). Remember that you are NOT what other people think of you.

One of the causes of loneliness is believing everything that other people say to you without questioning the validity of what was said by the other person. remember that other people's opinions, comments, and statements are more of a reflection of the other person than it is about you. To put all of this in another way; don't try to please everybody.

7). Learn to love yourself.

Remember that you ARE worthy of love. There isn't a single person that is not worthy of love. Everyone has value. Everyone has something to give and gain. Practice self-love, self-appreciation, self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. Learn how to be your own best friend by understanding your inner world and how it affects your outer-self and the outer-world and inner peace will come naturally.
