10 Great Ways to Beat Loneliness

 

Author: Jodie Foster

Are you one of the millions of people who experience loneliness?

Is it because you live alone or work at a home business all day? Over 4 million people worked from home according to the 2000 census, and the numbers have steadily risen since then. With commuter costs rising as well, even more people will turn to home offices as an economical option. Unfortunately, working from home can present other challenges. One of the most common complaints among people who work at home is the loneliness.

Working in the public and being with co-workers all day brings a sense of comradery and companionship that is missing once you work at home. While it's nice to work in your pj's at times, the loneliness can become a challenge for many.

How do you cope? What steps can you take to overcome it?

Here are some simple steps you can take:

  • Find a local coffee shop to hang out once or twice a week, bring your laptop, have a cup of coffee, knit, etc. It helps you feel like you are spending time with others.
  • Join a local group for networking, knitting, book club, etc.
  • Take up a new hobby, fly fishing, knitting, quilting, boxing, etc. and then join others in the endeavor. Remember, to be interesting, you need to be interested.
  • Call friends and invite them to lunch out with you- set a regular schedule for once or twice a month - don't wait for them to call you.
  • Volunteer at the local library, hospital or school. Participating and helping others is a great way to beat loneliness.
  • Join an online discussion group or forum- chatting with others can relieve that sense of aloneness too.
  • Get a gym membership- working out with others is fun.
  • Take a class- learn something new and meet new people.
  • Check the local paper for free concerts, events, etc, to participate in or attend.
  • Get out of your routine by going for a walk in the middle of the day when the loneliness is apt to set in. Exercise will increase the oxygen you take into your body, helping you feel more energized and better about yourself
  • Get a pet.

    It's important to have something to look forward to each day that is not just part of your to-do list. Above all else, make it a priority to get out of the house at least once every day. Write it in your day planner or appointment book. You'll find yourself coming back to the office feeling refreshed and invigorated, ready to go on with your day because you know you're not alone.

  • Author Bio:

    Jodie Foster

    I am an intuitive counselor and consultant working with clients for more than 15 years. I hold a degree in Psychology, and have had advanced training in breathwork, meditation, vibrational therapy and hydrochromotherapy. I am also a flower essence practitioner.

    As a child, my earliest memory is being 3 years old and telling my mother things that I could not have possibly known. At the age of 17, I began studying the fields of intuition, meditation, counseling, etc. I took training courses, went on retreats and attended workshops. I gathered tools, tips, techniques and methods to develop my own intuition and I began to teach others.

    I produce a monthly ezine/newsletter called Illuminations. Each month there are articles about spiritual growth, energetic awareness and emotional empowerment.

    How I work:

    My abilities fall under several categories, clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient.

    My work with clients is within the realm of emotion and energy, assisting them to open to deeper levels within themselves, uncovering their inherent potential and authentic self. This uncovering opens the way to enhanced communication, creativity, passion and purpose in their lives.

    During the coaching / intuitive counseling process, we begin sorting through the emotions, mental chatter and confusion. Collectively we analyze their current situation, the echoes of the past that are influencing the current situation and then develop an active approach to move forward and transform their lives.

    My own intuitive energies come forth, guiding them and directing their inner quest. As intuitive messages come forward, I deliver them and help the client to surface the emotional / mental / physical / spiritual pieces involved to catalyze a transformation. The working plan of action may include various assignments and tasks for them to complete along with goals to work towards.
