Alone During the Holidays?

This can be particularly hard to overcome as some of the root causes of these issues may require therapeutic intervention or more than just simple tips. However, if you’re struggling with loneliness and dreading the holidays by yourself, here are some tips that can help you make the most of your time and enjoy it to its fullest:

• If you are unable to be with loved ones, technology can help. Schedule virtual get-togethers or other activities you can do over video calls or teleconferencing services
• Volunteering for charities or nonprofits that need your help can be a great way to be around people and feel helpful while making a difference.
• If you can’t travel or can’t be with family, consider inviting friends or neighbors to be together who might also be struggling to get together with their loved ones
• Focus on self-care. Take this time to set and work on personal goals like reading, working on a small business or hobby, or otherwise being productive.
