I hear over and over again that my clients are able to have fun with their friends; however, when they go home, those same sad & depressed feelings return. It is the exception when individuals feel sad getting togelther with friends. Laughing, sharing memories, letting loose. Then, coming home after an enjoyable activity, and those jumbled thoughts come into play which result in landing in a bad place. Doing something enjoyable makes us feel good. What we have to be on the lookout for is sameness, boredom, ennui.
Savor your experiences with friends, but also 'mix-up' the time you are home alone. Take notice of your alone time and appreciate the ability to do the things you have wanted to do. Try something new or add something different [burn incense, write, play music, DANCE (even if alone)]. Don't make it all about your 'to-do' list.
The important thing is: don't get in a rut. Appreciate what you have, and think about how to enhance it. Make the most of all of your experiences.
