Are you troubled by a feeling of loneliness?

I feel alone, I'm so lonely: How to cheer up my psyche?

Have you ever heard the phrase: “It’s okay to be alone. It’s not okay to be lonely.” ? There’s a fundamental difference between these feelings. Solitude is a state where we can naturally enjoy time with ourselves. We can immerse ourselves in work on an important project, create something beautiful, enjoy a refreshing walk in the mountains, or fully experience a sunny day with a stroller. Solitude is a gift – a moment when we learn to know ourselves, draw energy, reflect on the past and the future, but in the best sense of the word. We are inspired by our own inner self and find harmony in it. But then there’s the other side of the coin…

And that is loneliness . That unpleasant, stinging and crushing state when we don't know what to do with time , when we are lost in our own thoughts – whether after the loss of a loved one or after another painful experience. It may even consume us in moments when we are in the middle of society , surrounded by people. But why? Why do we feel lonely when all we have to do is dial a number and call a friend? Why does solitude no longer bring us peace , but on the contrary weighs us down and suffocates us?

The explanation is simple. We have lost connection with ourselves , with our deeply rooted true SELF . We ignored it for a long time, until we finally ran away from it completely . We no longer hear it. And that is why we do not feel good either in solitude or among people . We do not know what is wrong with ourselves , what truly fulfills us, what we are missing. The only solution is to find a way back to ourselves . And today we will tell you how to do it.

What to do if I feel lonely?

As soon as that unpleasant, constricting feeling of loneliness hits you , when you feel like the walls of your apartment are suffocating and squeezing you , the first step is to immediately do a breathing exercise . It will help you calm your mind and regain control over your emotions. It is ideal to have SOS Bach Crisis Drops on hand , which can quickly relieve the feeling of hopelessness and return you to inner balance.

Another great helper is a short meditation that will bring you back to the present moment and help you break free from the spiral of negative thoughts. And if the sun is shining outside ( or even if it's not ), exercise is always the right choice . It's no news that physical activity releases endorphins that make us feel better. So let's summarize a simple ritual against loneliness that will help you feel better!

Start with a breathing exercise : Sit in your favorite place, close your eyes and take a moment to relax . If you have headphones at hand, play soothing music . Even just 5 minutes is enough . Breathe in slowly - count to 4 , hold your breath for another 4 counts , exhale for 4 counts and hold it again for 4 counts . This way you will almost immediately get rid of painful thoughts . For even deeper relaxation , Roll on - Relaxing is perfect , which you rub on your wrist and inhale its soothing aroma.
Incorporate herbal therapy : Drop Bach Crisis SOS drops into your mouth according to the instructions and let them work. The feeling of oppressive loneliness will quickly subside , giving you the necessary distance and peace to think about what is troubling you.
Start meditating : Regular breathing exercises (see point above) or guided meditations, which are easy to find online, are a great way to start and end your day . Thoughts of solitude will gradually fade , and each day will find it easier to maintain a calm and balanced mind.
Movement, sun, nature : It is not for nothing that they say that nature and movement are healing . Our great-grandmothers already knew this. Even if you don't feel like it, try to force yourself to go outside - get on your bike, go for a walk with a stroller , go for a run or take a trip to a cafe . Being among people statistically reduces the feeling of loneliness and who knows - maybe you will meet someone you know and have an inspiring conversation that will bring new ideas and energy to your life .

Loneliness can be a temporary state that will go away over time. It often comes after a breakup , during the long winter months when nothing is happening, or during a period of life change. But how do you know when it's not just a temporary feeling, but long-term loneliness that can lead to more serious problems, such as depression or a state of complete disconnection from yourself ?

If the following sentences apply to you, you may have been trapped in loneliness for a long time. And today we will give you advice on how to get out of it. Do you recognize yourself?

Loneliness in marriage, in relationships and among people

Loneliness doesn't just mean being alone. You may have plenty of people around you, but you still feel empty inside . Friends you go out for coffee with may be just a temporary fix - but you still go to bed at night feeling like something is missing .

Loneliness often creeps into relationships and marriages . You may feel like no one is really listening to you , that your needs are not being met. But let’s face it – who should be listening to them first? You. If you ignore them, you lose touch with your deep inner desires and needs. You may lack the self-love and self-awareness that are the foundation of contentment.

If you feel that this is the root of your problem, treat yourself to gentle support in the form of herbal therapy . Bach Flower Remedies for Self-Love can be a great choice , helping you find your way back to yourself and give yourself the care you deserve.

How to get back to yourself?

The following lines may be a little harsher, but they are important . If you want real change , if you want to get back to yourself , you need to stop making excuses and ask yourself a few fundamental questions:

When was the last time you said a sincere NO to someone and endured their negative reaction?
Are you able to defend your boundaries , or are you still adapting to others?
When was the last time you bought something just for fun, without feeling guilty?
Do you find at least 15 minutes during the day just for yourself , for peace, relaxation and quieting your mind?
Do you even know what you want from life? Or are you just looking for excuses why it's not possible?
Do you surround yourself with people who inspire you, or rather drain you?
When was the last time you were truly happy? Aren't you living someone else's life?

These are questions that you may be avoiding, but they are the key to your satisfaction . Try to answer them honestly - on paper , without self-censorship. You may be surprised at what emerges. The path back to yourself is not always easy , it often leads through the dark corners of your mind , but believe me, at the end of it a beautiful view awaits you - and most importantly, true inner freedom .
