How To Cope With Being Alone

If you are alone this holiday, you can Facetime or Zoom with your friends and family. Set up some activities, eat dinner together, or watch a movie together on Netflix with their new feature.
3) Make Plans For The Future
4) Be Productive
5) Get Outdoors
Going outside and spending some time in the fresh air is a great way to pass the time this holiday. Go for a walk, visit a beautiful park, and see something gorgeous! If you live near a place where you can hike, do so! It’s a lovely and meditative experience.
