2020 has taught me that nothing is permanent. Nothing bad is permanent, but then nothing good is permanent either.  Why did I go and have to say that? It may seem a little bit negative, but that’s just because we do tend to like things to stay the same especially if they are good. We have been programmed to crave comfort and predictability. We were put on this earth to have new experiences though. We are here to create and enjoy life. We are here to grow and learn and inspire and be inspired. The events of this year and the things we are dealing with will pass. It may not seem like it but they will.  But you know what? Sometimes a change up is good. It makes us either appreciate what we had or realize maybe we didn’t love that tradition so much anymore and so we are glad it changed. Maybe it makes us start a new tradition. If you dig deep, you can find something good that has come from the change up. Maybe your holiday is a little more intimate. maybe it REALLY makes you appreciate the traditions that you may have taken for granted.
Or maybe you’re lonely and you aren’t sure when that is going to end. Loneliness is an emotion that most people feel at one point or another, so if you are feeling lonely, you aren’t alone…. There have been times in my life when I have been in a group of people I enjoyed and still felt lonely. The reason? Because my thoughts were on something other than the present…something I was missing. Often it isn’t the lonely feeling that is so distressing, it is the thought that we are always going to be lonely that is the most distressing. But you know what? This too shall pass. You aren’t always going to have that emotion. And listen, if you are feeling loneliness that is devastating and feels like depression and you can’t kick it, ask for help. If you don’t feel comfortable talking with someone in person about your feelings, go online to www.betterhelp.com. They have been highly recommended by people for being an online option for mental health help and remember, this is a form of self love. There is no shame in needing a little help here and there. We all do and getting it is a sign of strength, not weakness. Another proven way to work through loneliness is to reach out and help someone less fortunate than you are, because more than likely there is someone who has it worse. Maybe an elderly neighbor…could you drop off fresh cookies or a plant? What about Fostering dog or cat that needs a home? Could you clean out your closet and drop clothes off at a homeless shelter? How about donating money to an abused women’s shelter? These are just a couple ideas… and another thing…It could also be a hormone imbalance, Ive been pretty open about my experience with hormone imbalance. I am so grateful to have realized that my feelings of unhappiness and loneliness were a hormone imbalance and now I don’t have that problem anymore because I regularly have bio-identical pellets to balance my hormones, if you think this may be a problem, listen to episode 63 with Dr. Richard Pearson. It feels really really good to know there are things you can do to make the emotion of loneliness or any negative emotion feel less powerful. Remember you control your thoughts, which control your emotions so becoming more aware of our thoughts is super helpful.
