So, you need to move. The job is taking you to a new location and you have to uproot and relocate to a new state, a new town, and a new country. Making the transition can present its own problems, here are 4 challenges faced when relocating.
4 Challenges
1. Lack of routine - moving is a disruption of the normal, the normal pattern associated with everyday life - your life. Yet change is a good thing. Some routines are just that routines. Same old same thing. Moving should not be seen as a disruption of a routine, but an opportunity to break old (maybe bad) habits.
2. Loneliness - How do you view meeting new people? Are you challenged by the opportunity to make new friends, or do you hide from society? There is a bigger, new world beyond your door that is just waiting to be explored so take that first step into a new and exciting world. Look at meeting people from a unique perspective and ask yourself, "What do I bring to the conversation".
3. New foods and restaurants - Half the fun of moving is the opportunity to open your palette to the regional foods and restaurants in your new town. Whether you have moved across the state or across the ocean, new cuisines are yours for the tasting.
4. Exploring new areas - The fire department calls it "area familiarization". You can call it "boldly going where I have not gone before". Fill your gas tank. Get in your car and just follow the open road. There is a new adventure awaiting around the next bend in the road. Don't forget to stop along the way to take in the sights, sounds and experiences of the area.
Bottom Line: The move it what you make of it. It will either be exploration or isolation. The choice is yours. Carpe diem!
