Combating Loneliness

Loneliness has social consequences 

such as cognitive decline,

depression, and heart disease.

Dr. Cacioppo from the National Institute n Aging (NIA)
 suggest focusing on reflections, 
connections and interactions.
There are few actionable ideas:
a. Volunteering for causes.
b. Start a gratitude journal.
c. Help for the homebound.
Ultimately, just being proactive about trying to
overcome loneliness can lift the spirits
and help on the path to feeling more
connected to others to bit the loneliness.
