What kind of loneliness are you at risk of?

IF YOU SCORED MAINLY Situational

What kind of loneliness are you at risk of?

We can all be at risk of situational loneliness during times of transition. Despite strong relationships and social connections, we can find ourselves experiencing a sense of disconnection when something unexpected comes along and disrupts the status quo. Even planned life changes can generate feelings of loneliness if they leave you feeling out of step with people you care about. Historic feelings of vulnerability can be stirred up by times of transition even if on a cognitive level, you know that you have the deep connections you need in your life: it's your mind's way of warning you that you're wandering too far from your tribe and might be in danger. If the change you're making in your life is one you can't avoid, you might need to simply acknowledge and make space for the emotional uncertainty until you feel settled again. Although situational loneliness is transient and will pass, it can feel hard so be sure to prioritise self-soothing and being extra kind to yourself. It's also a time to resist overthinking, particularly ruminating about how people aren't showing up for you or haven't in the past. Instead, be proactive and think about who you need to connect with most right now, and how you can make that happen.

OTHER PEOPLE'S STRESS...isn't yours to carry

Whether you're at home or work, visiting with friends or catching up with family, the start of the year can stir up old emotions and leave us feeling a little off-kilter. Because New Year's stress doesn't just come from the dark, the weather or even the lack of cash - it's also from the people around us.

Don't fear the D-WORD

While most of us associate this month with fresh starts — new routines, dry spells, gym sign-ups — those who work in the relationship world call it something far more sobering: divorce month. And for good reason.

HARMONY at home

We spend weeks preparing our homes for Christmas...but does anyone prepare for when it's over? You know the feeling: the decorations have come down, the mince pies have been eaten, but your home doesn't feel like it's supporting you into the new year. I believe this is because our homes hold energetic residue.

MOVING FROM GUILT TO GRACE

How many times a day do you hear yourself saying sorry? ‘Sorry, could I just…?’ ‘Sorry, I can’t make it tonight.’ ‘Sorry, I’m not free.’ We apologise for taking up space, for saying no, for changing our minds, even for wanting something different. Sometimes it just slips out before you’ve even had time to check if it belongs there.
