Moving can be a difficult, stressful transition that requires lots of planning and coordination. Whether it's a move to another city or another country, it can be tough to stay positive during such a big life change. South Africans understand the upheaval that comes with moving and can take assurance that they are not alone. Here’s five ways to stay positive while transitioning during a move.
When it is becoming overwhelming, take a second to pause and remember why you moved in the first place. Appreciating the why can help with the how. Your move might be work or education related, or maybe to be closer to family or for a change of scenery. Taking the time to recognize this can be the fuel to help you stay positive in what might seem to be a difficult transition.
Moving can be both physically and mentally taxing. It is important to take breaks throughout the process and schedule time to care for yourself. Take a yoga class, go to the ocean, cook your favourite meal and get enough sleep. Make sure you are taking the time to do the things that make you feel well and be sure to give yourself grace as you make this big life move.
Remember that South Africa is your home and that the people closest to you are going to be your greatest source of love and emotional support no matter where you move. Connecting with them regularly by phone calls or video chats is one of the best ways to stay positive during your move. Friends and family will be some of your biggest encouragers, and it is essential to not forget the people from your hometown.
Once you are all settled in, get involved with the local community. Join meet-up groups, go to nearby events, volunteer for local organizations and explore your new surroundings. This is a good way to make new friends who are also transitioning and to explore different cultures.
Throughout the process no matter how difficult it is, it is important to stay positive and keep your chin up. No one said this would be easy, if it were, but it is important to remember that it ultimately will be worth it in the end. Even if it is hard to stay positive in the difficult moments, take a look at the bigger picture – you decided to make a big life change for a reason and it was for a greater purpose.
