Moving to a new place, starting a new job, joining a new community... it can all feel really exciting and a little overwhelming, right? I totally get it.
From my own experience, and from listening to my students, I've learned that adjusting to a new environment isn't about changing who you are. It's about "staying open". Open to new people, new habits, and sometimes even new versions of yourself.
Here’s what really helps:
- Give yourself time. It’s okay if you don’t feel “at home” right away.
- Stay curious. Ask questions, explore, try to understand the new culture around you.
- Find your small routines. Even a morning coffee at the same spot can make a huge difference.
- Talk to people! Don’t worry about mistakes (especially if you're using a new language!). Connection is the goal, not perfection.
If you’re going through a big change right now, remember,
you’re not alone. Growth always feels a little uncomfortable at first. But step by step, you’ll find your place, your people, and your rhythm.
And if you ever need someone to practice English with while you're adjusting... well, you know where to find me!
