Walk:
The best
medicine when you feel lonely or in anger or in frustration is to go for a long
walk. Walking will divert your thoughts and it is healthy too. While walking
you can calm down yourself, think and evaluate the situation, analyze it and
you may find solution to the problem itself. People who walk regularly are
smarter than the ones who don’t walk regularly. In fact you need to have a
daily walk of 20 mins which will give you much relaxation.
An early
morning walk is the best one, the fresh air in the morning and the sunrise will
energize you.
Music:
Music has the
power of healing. Always have a collection of songs with you like dance or
devotional or meditation or inspirational songs. It is psychologically proven
fact that music has the capability of changing our moods. Again it all depends
on the type of music you are listening to. Hearing music will take us through
different emotional states. If you are confused to select which types of songs
to listen just go to YouTube and search for meditation/relaxation music there
are number of tracks available which you can play for hours.
Book:
A book is a
good friend you must have. Books will never leave you alone, every book you
read, will have something to learn or experience. The more books you read the
more knowledge you will gain. It should be daily routine to read at least few
pages in a book. I always keep a book with me in my home and at my office,
whenever I get free time I will start reading. Next time when you feel lonely
read any
of these books and I am sure it will help you.
Travel:
Travelling is
another great thing. It is said “A person who never travels, never learns
anything new”. When you travel you will get to know about new places, you can
meet new people, you can learn about new cultures and customs. Travel alone,
try to explore the places on your own, watch the sunrise in beaches, spend time
early morning in hill stations, go for trekking and there are many more
options. The world is big and all you need is willingness to explore it. Make a
list of places you want visit and keep exploring them.
Service:
The ultimate
satisfaction of any person will be while helping needy people. At this moment
there are many people who are about to die in next couple of minutes, people
who are counting days of their life due to incurable illnesses, who are
starving due to lack of food, water. If you can bring hope in one person’s life
by your actions it is worth you have lived your life. Go feed the poor, help
the needy, spend time with old people in Old-Age homes, teach to poor kids,
show love to animals. It won’t be too much to say majority of the people die
not due to lack of money but due to lack of people to share with. You don’t
need to spend money always to help someone, talk with them friendly, listen to
their problems, console them or just spend time with them happily.
Hobby:
Have a hobby
be it photography, playing music, playing a sport, collection of items,
designing something new, write, cook, sing, dance or anything else. Hobby is
the best way to divert the idle brain into something useful and productive.
Let me know
useful things to do during lonely time.
Thanks VV!!
