"I make a conscious decision to stay away for as much as I can allow myself to and just put an end to that before it even begins," she said. "We are so much better able to navigate these feelings of isolation ... when we have the mental resources at our disposal, including a well rested mind."
This week we discuss loneliness, particularly around the holiday season. Why is it that we feel so lonely during that period between the holidays and the new year, whether we are surrounded by family or spending our time alone and what are some of the explanations for this feeling. We discuss the benefits and downsides of solitude, how to overcome loneliness and why the holiday season can be so difficult.
