Home Alone: Celebrating the Holidays without Family and Friends
?
For most people, the holidays?symbolize happiness, love, and memories?being created and shared amongst?family and friends. However, for some, the?feeling of holiday cheer simply?does not exist. The travel distance for family or remembering the loss of a loved one can play a huge part in this. Fortunately, there are alternatives to change your mood and put you into the holiday spirit. Here are a few to get you started.
Plan a special event. If family and loved ones won?t be around, give yourself something to look forward to. Treat yourself to a nice dinner or even host a holiday gathering and invite close friends. This will spark your excitement when asked ?what are your plans for the holidays??
Surround yourself with others. It is important that you stay away from isolation, and sitting around in the house?can be draining.? There are tons of charities and soup kitchens needing holiday volunteers, so take the time to get involved. Helping others can?relieve that lonely feeling and build appreciation for the holidays.
?
Change your mental scenery. Though you?re currently in a funk, remember this, it could be worse. The recession has caused many families to lose everything they have, including?cars and home. Therefore, as you sit in your home feeling down, take a minute to appreciate how good you have it.
Though these tips aren?t a permanent cure for loneliness, it?s a great start. With that being said, get out there and enjoy the holiday season. Merry Christmas!!!
