 Sick? Depressed? Holed up? You’re not alone... There are a million other "alone's" out there feeling the same way. I like to think of it as "alone together" when I'm in that spot. Whether in grief, ill health, sadness, or general feelings of isolation. Solidarity is a powerful thought that has really helped me get through some dark moment. Perhaps it can help you too. It also helps to acknowledge that when we humans feel entitled to things going well all the time, or always being happy/healthy/high energy, we are setting ourselves up for lots of letdowns. Suffering and hardship are inherently part of our human experience. That said, things DO get better (and there are even silver linings to be found in the darkest of places.) What to do? Stay connected any way you can. Find something you are grateful for. Call your homies and loved ones and while you’re at it it, order yourself a pizza for a personal party of one. Need some help? Working with a Life Coach is a life changing experience. First session on me! Image: Lukas Gangsterer Comments are closed.
