It is estimated that up to 40 million Americans experience loneliness every year (https://mcc.gse.harvard.edu/reports/loneliness-in-america). 

33% of adults surveyed in 29 countries worldwide reported experiencing loneliness (socialself.com).

Loneliness is a common condition. Feeling lonely is emotionally, physically, and spiritually challenging. One way you can ease feelings of loneliness and cope with it better is to engage in activities you find fulfilling. 

Occupying yourself with activities you love to do is an excellent way to combat loneliness and cope with those difficult feelings. No matter what hobbies or activities you love to do, there is great potential within them to serve as healthy and productive means of handling loneliness.
