Alone

“You're only lonely if you're not there for you.” – Phil C. McGraw

The lonely times in life are when you don’t love yourself. Relying solely on others for self worth will create loneliness. If you are lonely reach out to yourself first – do something for yourself that brings a smile to your face. Loneliness is a world you create for yourselves and only you can undo the loneliness. First desire it and then act upon it.

Affirmation – Say: “I will choose to leave loneliness behind me. I will find love within myself.”

Payoff in wallowing?

What benefit do you get in wallowing in self pity?  Attention?  Comfort in the familiar?  Company from others who wallow, too?  Excuse to not change?  Excuse to not do the work you need to do to feel better?  You are strong and can do whatever it is that you need to do!  You can also ask for help.  You don't have to be alone.  Family and friends can and will help!
