Do something to show yourself a little TLC. Don't dwell on the past. Remember that every year will be different, and you shouldn't let other holidays dictate how you're going to feel during this one. Focus on the present. Avoid drinking too much alcohol as alcohol is a depressant that can make you feel even worse.

If you feel lonely during the holidays because you're divorced or single, why not try doing something for others? Volunteer. Donate gifts to those who are less fortunate. Spend some time with an elderly neighbor or relative. Give up a few hours at the local soup kitchen. There are so many people who could use your help. And reaching out to others is a great way to lift your spirits. Also, be sure to exercise. Physical activity will raise those endorphins and get you feeling better. Even if It's just a brisk walk, get moving at least five times a week for 30 minutes a day.
