ListIt: Things to do when you feel lonely

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.
