Loneliness Is NOT a Joke. Here Are 9 Ways to Deal With It w/John R. Miles EP 181

Published: Aug. 26, 2022, 4:02 a.m.

Over the past few months, the growing chronic loneliness epidemic has come up repeatedly in my interviews on the Passion Struck podcast. Given its prevalence, I decided to devote this episode to addressing its significance.\nLoneliness is a human sentiment that is complicated and unique to every person. Because there isn't a known common cause, the consequences of loneliness and its prevention can vary dramatically. \nAnne Hathaway did a great job articulating her feelings about loneliness in the following quote, "Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me." \nHer quote brings to life how differently we each experience loneliness. For example, a lonely elderly person who struggles to have people to talk to has different needs than a college student leaving home for the first time. \nIn today's Momentum Friday Passion Struck podcast episode, I dive into what it means to be "lonely," as well as the causes and consequences of loneliness, and provide ten different ways to deal with loneliness.\n\xa0\n--\u25ba Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/loneliness-is-not-a-joke-here-are-10-ways-to-deal-with-it/\xa0\n--\u25ba Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles\n--\u25ba Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283\n*Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.\nPassion Struck Podcast Starter Packs\nNew to the show?
