Many people report feeling loneliness during the holiday season. We might be far from friends or family or see many more people socializing and connecting this time of year. You can manage loneliness by practicing techniques like mindfulness, connecting with others, spending time in nature, re-frame loneliness as self-growth, and practicing self-kindness. You can also ask a psychologist for support if you need it. 🌐 https://lnkd.in/gwcvNutH
