Choose life!<\/a><\/strong><\/em> <\/strong>That sounds dramatic, yet it\u2019s true. If you find yourself constantly aware of wanting to be alone and hibernate, to play the hermit, to sit home alone and feel sorry for yourself, you are pushing yourself down into a depression, illness, or worse. Be proactive, and you can make it through the holidays without the darkness claiming your happiness! Choosing to dwell on the more depressing aspects of your life can be dangerous.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t be a happiness<\/a><\/strong> cheerleader here, because I\u2019ve been there, and I know how the pep talks irritate when you feel like \u201chiding.\u201d If you\u2019ll hear me out, think about making the following choices during the holidays. Everywhere you look, they’re \u201cselling\u201d family and relationships on TV, in movies, on the radio… how can you avoid feeling lonely?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t automatically say no. When friends ask you out, or over, or to a party, don\u2019t say no immediately, and do not melodramatically claim that they are \u201conly\u201d doing it because they feel \u201csorry\u201d for you. No matter what, why, or how, this is an opportunity to enjoy the company of others, to find something funny and laugh, or to meet new people, or find new interests. If you stop that knee jerk reaction of \u201cNo, I just want to go home and be alone\u201d and say, \u201cThank you, I\u2019ll come for a while,\u201d you may end up having fun.<\/p>\n

Stay away from \u201cdowners\u201d – sad movies, morose \u201che dun me wrong\u201d music, people that are negative. If your family of origin is a downer\u2026 plan a trip to see friends or loved ones that you enjoy over the holidays instead! Or do something fun and invite a friend.<\/p>\n

If it winds up that you happen to spend one of those \u201cfamily days\u201d when you are \u201cfeeling\u201d alone, you can plan a special dinner and movie for yourself, dress up, make YOUR favorite food or just have dessert! To fill time, you can make calls to others that you haven\u2019t talked to in a while just to wish them \u201chappy holidays,\u201d and if all else fails, you can volunteer somewhere. Helping others is an amazing way to get your mind off your woes!<\/p>\n

In fact, that is one suggestion that I absolutely subscribe to. If you get to a place where you’re spending all your free time depressed or feeling sad about your situation, you can use my trick. If I\u2019m too much in my own head and life, too self centered, I go and volunteer<\/a><\/strong>. There are hundreds of groups, programs, homes and hospitals that can always use some help… and that, my friends, will bring you back to the world of living, and help you move your life forward again!<\/p>\n

What’s ahead for your <\/em>love life<\/strong>?<\/strong> Try a psychic reading. Call 1.800.573.4830<\/span> or choose your psychic now. <\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
