How many times have you felt lonely in your life? I could guess simply too many times to count, right?

What thoughts kept on popping up in your head then?

“I’m no good.”

“Nobody supports me.”

“I just want someone to be next to me.”

“I miss [insert person dear to you] so much.”

Oh gosh, I’ve had those thousands of times in my life. And as you could imagine, I looked and felt miserable during such times.

Obviously, I just curled in a ball and binge watch videos or dive head straight into games. Not the most productive periods of my life I’ll be honest and clearly not ones I’m proud of.

Through learning to use my time more efficiently in order to improve myself, I have noticed such times can, as a matter of fact, turn into some of the most useful ones.

It’s not that easy, but here are a few steps which, combined properly, might help you to get the best out of those.

1. Interrupt your thoughts

First, let’s make things clear: timing is crucial to make use of that loneliness.
