6 Tips On How Celebs Can Deal With Loneliness By: Stan Popovich

6 Tips On How Celebs Can Deal With Loneliness
By: Stan Popovich
Some celebrities  and other people deal with loneliness when they are not in the spotlight. Here is a short list of techniques that a celebrity can use so that the fear of being alone doesn’t become a major issue in their lives.
1.Find An Activity
Find an activity that you enjoy and where you can meet a lot of people. Doing something that you like to do will make you happy and will increase your chances of making friends.
2.Spend Time With Animals
Spending time with an animal or pet can help us to feel better. Animals can be of good company to all of us whether we are alone or not. There are many local shelters that could use your time and talents.
3. Helping Others
There are many people out there who could benefit from your time and skill sets. Helping others can give you a source of pride and accomplishment and also can lead to friendships.
4. It Could Be Worse
It isn’t fun being alone, but sometimes there are worse things. For instance, imagine that you are married or stuck in a relationship that you can’t get out of and also makes you miserable. As a result you are stuck living with someone that you can’t stand and makes you depressed. With this viewpoint, being alone doesn’t sound that bad.
5. Be Constructive
Sitting around and doing nothing will not make things any better whether it is dealing with the fear of being alone or something else. Take it one day at a time and stay committed in trying to solve your problem.
6.  Things Can Change
Nothing remains the same forever. No one can predict the future with one hundred percent accuracy. Events change all of the time. Even if the thing that you feared does happen there are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your advantage. You never know when the help and answers you are looking for will come to you.
 
Remember that everyone deals with loneliness sometime in their life. Focus on your life and don’t compare yourself to others.   If being alone bothers you then seeing a counselor can help you with these issues.

Rio De Janeiro Carnival's Samba Finale Provides Spectacular Close To 2014 Fiesta (PHOTOS)

Rio de Janeiro's whirlwind Carnival season comes to a close Tuesday, with the five-day fiesta culminating in spectacular samba parades and partying throughout the streets of Brazil's second-largest city.
With the World Cup in Brazil just 100 days away, one samba school dressed dancers as soccer balls at Monday night's parade, while another float celebrated Brazil's Grand Prix.
Although lavish parades stole most of the 900,000 tourists' attention, since Friday nearly 500 street parties have pulsed through Rio.
With anti-government demonstrations simmering in the lead-up to the World Cup, a few Brazilians even used mock parades to protest government corruption, AFP reported.
But Carnival, a tradition which dates back to the early 18th century, is mainly a moment of ecstatic national pride. "Yes, it's a party. But it's also us honoring our history and ensuring that samba will never die," one samba dancer told the AP.
Here are a number of spectacular images from the raucous finale in Rio.
