Transcript

There's an emptiness here.

I don't feel comfortable.

I don't feel good in my skin.

I don't feel secure.

I feel lonely.

I've got this emptiness inside that I want filled.

There's an aching and a longing for something that's not here right now.

And in this moment,

I'm not going to shit on myself because I have so many reasons not to feel lonely.

Instead,

I'm going to face and own my feelings.

These lonely feelings are here for a reason.

If I give this loneliness a voice,

What would it say right now?

What is this loneliness trying to tell me?

How is this loneliness trying to make me aware of a shift or a change that I need to make in my life?

This loneliness could be me adapting to a transition,

To a new chapter in my life that's maybe not even that obvious,

But it's there because I'm growing.

It's there because I'm taking on new challenges.

It's there because I've stepped up my courage.

I know how I've taken care of myself in the past when I felt lonely.

And I remember the things that worked well.

I remember the things that fell short.

And right now,

I put in play ways I can take care of myself and ways I can manage my loneliness,

Knowing that everyone feels lonely at certain times.

I know what I could say to myself to help myself.

I know that I can write things down,

Get the feelings out.

I know I can reach out to someone who is trustworthy and respectful.

I know that I can feel lonely and not sink into a hole of loneliness.

I can acknowledge it and I attend to it.

And as I feel less emptiness,

As my aching and yearning subsides,

I look at the road ahead.

Where may I be feeling lonely again?

And what can I do in those times?

How can I apply strategies that help me and don't hurt me?

What I know is when I feel lonely,

I keep loving myself.

I keep plugging into self-care.

And I keep going to the safe and sacred places in my life where I get grounded,

Where I get fulfilled,

And where all my emotions come to a place of ease.

I'm not afraid of feeling lonely.

When lonely feelings come up,

I know how to manage them.

As I practice self-love and self-care in all areas of my life,

I add that to the times when I'm feeling lonely as well.

I will keep loving me.

I will keep being good to me.

And I will keep taking care of me.

Reviews

I really appreciated the reminders and affirmations of things I can do to help myself versus feeling powerless. I feel like everyone is lonely in life at one point or another, but no one is really talking about it because it somehow feels shameful.

This was short but effective and redirected me towards one of the best things for me- making sure I am spending my time doing what I love and not numbing myself. Thanks Josie.

Thank you for this! It was uplifting and I needed these reminders tonight.
