Feeling Lonely? Try This

Lonelyyyyyyyyyyy, I am so lonelyyyyyyyyyyy…
That’s the song I sing when my human ignores me.

Once upon a time, they used to leave for work every day. But now? It’s just me. And while I know I’m a hoot, even I can tell that sometimes, they get lonely too.

Here’s the thing - humans need human connection. And if you’re feeling lonely, chances are, the person you’re thinking of reaching out to feels the same way.

So, I took matters into my own paws and made a list to help my human (and you) feel a little less alone:

• Schedule a virtual coffee chat with a coworker. I know, it might feel weird, but just do it!

• Try a coworking space, you might meet someone new!

• Attend a local meetup for industry professionals.

• Join a LinkedIn or Facebook group.

• Text a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while and set a hangout date. Even if it’s months away, it gives you something to look forward to!

• Virtual coworking! Ask a remote friend to work together over video.

• Check in on a coworker. Ask them how life’s going—you might just make their day.

Speaking of good questions… here’s one to get started:

“What’s exciting in your life right now?”

A simple question, but it opens the door to real connection. Try it out this week, and let me know how it goes!
