Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation.

What Do You Tell yourself....

Hey guys.
Just wanted to ask that whenever you guys feel depressed and lonely what do you tell yourself?
What actually drives you to keep moving?

As for me i heard a saying from a movie that inspires me a lot
It says
"Yesterday is History,Tomorrow is a Mystery but today is gift that is why it is called a Present."

So we have to hang in there and make the best out of today.

What inspires you?

I tell myself (sometimes outloud- yeah I am crazy!) That it is a temporary condition and I will be fine soon. It has taken days to get through sometimes, but for me anyway- IT IS TEMPORARY,

Thats what I do besides making sure I am getting enough rest and exercise

What inspires me the most is reading a Joel Osteen book, it gives me hope and joy, his new book is (IT'S YOUR TIME). these is the best one so far.

I'm with Stone--I tell myself: This, too, shall pass. Life is all about change and if we refuse to go with the flow and develop ourselves and change, then we get stuck in stagnation and lose hope. I try to always be open to what is new about every day.

I'm with SamPlace -if I read anything by Joel Osteen or listen to him on tv, I am instantly inspired. Same goes for Joyce Meyer.

I know not everyone wants to hear about something religious on here though, so I don't mean to offend anyone....these are just two people that truly motivate me within minutes.

what i am doing has not yet worked. The volunteering works in the moment however Im still alone once I go home. I love to take care of people however that is a momentary fix. there does not seem to be a band aid big enough.

I think if older pains and remember that they all passed... Life is constant movement, bad things eventually go away. Always.

I tell myself, "Things could always be worse!" because no matter how awful or unbearable things seem, they really could always be worse.

"If not you, Then who? If not now, Then when?"

I guess I browbeat myself back on track =)

for all of january I have been uninspired. Today I feel better. forcing myself to get out and making a note on my calendar for next January that I must do something in January because it always sucks and drags the life right out of me. I try to learn froom the past.

I tell myself "things will get better". I will see a beautiful sunset, or my cats doing something funny, or a native bird will visit my garden and in a flash, my mood will improve.
