Honestly one thing that helps me not feel lonely is keeping busy and not imagining what other people must doing right now. One thing that matters for me is my wellbeing; for example every morning I have 2 goals: 1. Make today the best day ever. 2 do things that makes you happy.
I have other goals too but those are primary because if I am not well mentally I can’t do the others which are :
- help someone today,
- make someone smile or laugh today,
- stay positive,
- have a good night sleep ( I sleep for 8-9 hours at night because I need 8 hours to function otherwise I’ll get cranky. I’m in bed by 9pm and fall asleep by 9:30 pm)
- learn something new today,
- read at least a chapter in a book today,
- write at least 2 pages in my novel,
- journaling,
- pray,
- prepare meetings,
- stretch,
- hug my cats (that’s more for me than it is for them Archie hates hugs and pixie just tolerate it)
- Get to work on time
Having goals in my life helps me to have something to look forward to and it helps me to only focus on me and not compare my life to anyone else. When I cross off things on my list I feel better and accomplished.
