Loneliness

Chuck Spezzano:
"Loneliness is one of the roots of all problems;we miscreate problems for attention, connection ,etc. not realizing that these problems separate us from others causing a vicious circle where we become even more lonely"

Janie Ticehurst > "One of the keys to unravelling loneliness is to examine where we feel that we are different from others.  These feelings of being different isolate us and encourage us to judge others, thereby blocking any chance of real connection.  

One way through loneliness is to give.  When you give it cuts through blocks to connection and shows that you are thinking of or feeling into the person and what they need.

Imagine that you could give a 'gift' energetically, then as you go through your day imagine that everyone that you come into contact with and everyone that comes into your mind needs a gift - and give it to them :)

Addressing negative thoughts most effective in fighting loneliness

September 7, 2010

Changing how a person perceives and thinks about others was the most effective intervention for loneliness, a sweeping analysis of previous research has determined. The findings may help physicians and psychologists develop better treatments for loneliness, a known risk factor for heart disease and other health problems.

Recently, researchers have characterized the negative influence of loneliness upon blood pressure, sleep quality, dementia, and other health measures. Those effects suggest that loneliness is a health risk factor, similar to obesity or smoking, which can be targeted to improve patients' health in several dimensions.

"People are becoming more isolated, and this health problem is likely to grow," said John Cacioppo, PhD, Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. "If we know that loneliness is involved in health problems, the next question is what we can do to mitigate it."
