Loneliness got you down?  Do you find yourself looking for ways to add fulfillment to your days when you’re lacking entertainment? There are several healthy ways to spend time with yourself that can help you savor the solitude that can sometimes feel like loneliness. Exploring healthy activities and practices are great ways to keep alone time from feeling too alone.

Move Your Body

Exercise is an effective way to improve the health of your mind and body. There are so many different types to choose from, such as weightlifting, cardio, yoga, swimming, dancing, boxing, running, jumping rope, sports and pilates. Play around with different activities until you find what works for you.

Having something to focus on will help alleviate loneliness, but you might find an even better approach.  Exercising can help you meet new friends that have the same goals of being healthy. Finding an enjoyable way to get your blood flowing can relieve stress, improve mood, act as an energy booster and it can even allow you to sleep better at night. Healthy alternatives do not have to be boring.  They can be just as enjoyable as they are healthy! Infuse your workouts with our ENERGY patch to maximize your workout efforts.

Sleep Deep

After a good sweat, a good night’s sleep should follow. You have the power to set the tone for a serene getaway as you drift off into your dreams. You can improve your sleep by building a relaxing ritual before resting. Some healthy options to consider are dozing off to some soothing music, maybe sounds of the rain or healing binaural beats. You can try unwinding to the smell of essential oils or even use an aromatherapy patch like our SLEEP patch to take relaxation to the next level. 

There are various ways to find peace in moments that feel lonely, especially if you seize this opportunity to get to know yourself better. Sometimes it takes some experimenting to find the right thing to soothe the gloom, but you have options! 

The next time you are feeling lonely and need a boost or some excitement, turn on a rocking playlist and get into your favorite exercise. Becoming inspired by natural remedies and keeping an open mind to new hobbies are sure ways to enhance your alone time. 

Pick Up The Phone

Sometimes that phone weighs 2,000 pounds. But pick it up and call a friend and ask how THEY are doing. Loneliness can feel self-focused and exhausting. You can get out of your own head when you find out what is new with someone else (other than yourself!). It is hard to reach out, but easy to reap the benefits of a simple push of a button to call on a friend.

When you are working on getting out of a loneliness slump, one way to enhance the beauty of solitude is with aromatherapy. Our pure essential oil blend in our HAPPINESS patch was designed to provide comfort in trying times and features only these pure essential oils: lemon eucalyptus, grapefruit, ylang ylang and lemon.
