Managing the Festive Season - Part 3: Loneliness

Live the 8Wise™️ Way

15-12-2022 • 31 mins

We’re approaching the holiday season once again, and though ‘tis the season to be merry, many of us often feel this time of year brings other feelings such as stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression.

Throughout this special mini-series I am going to help you manage your festive season better, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, something else or nothing at all.

In this episode we are focussing on loneliness, because as many people gather with their families over the holidays, there are also many individuals who feel increasingly isolated and alone at this time of year.

I know that feeling well. I’ve been there. However, it doesn’t have to be this way, and I am going to talk you through some of the things you can do to get more social, feel more connected and improve your wellbeing over the festive period.

Here are the highlights:

(01:35) The self-isolation creeps up on you

(04:01) Humans are naturally social animals

(09:02) Make a plan of activitie

(13:02) Get involved by giving back

(15:07) People do care about you

(19:07) Loneliness can impact our stress levels

(22:07) Being in the same room is not the same as feeling connected to people

(25:50) Man’s best friend
