Be in the present. Do not dwell on the past. Do not fear the future. Enjoy every minute of every day. Wake up and take several really deep breaths and feel how good that feels. Lay in bed a few minutes and just focus on how nice the sheets and pillow feels. Look around your room. Put things that you like in your room. A painting you enjoy looking at. Photos of the kids.....Same thing in the shower. Enjoy how the water feels on your body. Find nice wash clothes that you enjoy looking at. Find shampoo that smells nice to you. Massage your head and enjoy how that feels. I enjoy the moment all day long...It makes ME happy.
As far as the loneliness, I enjoy everyone one I come in contact with. I visit the local star bucks on my way to work. I know every one of the employees by name and personal details about them. They reciprocate. I talk to people in line. I nurture other relationships. I am happy by myself. I go out and exercise as well as enjoy my hobbies. I initiate conversations with complete strangers.
Smiling and flirting: Fake it till you make it.
