Sometimes shortly into our move abroad (could be related to all the difficulties of the shock phase), sometimes a few years in, we start asking ourselves the question 'should I stay or should I go'. ⁠
⁠
Whether you live in your home country and were pondering on moving abroad for a while, or you've been living abroad and started thinking 'what's now' - here's a useful exercise you can do to help structure your thinking around the options. Let's start moving you forward on that decision making process 😉⁠

Kind reminder: you are human, humans have emotions, emotions can be more or less comfortable but all are sources of information ☺️

And here we are!! Here’s the overview of what cultural adaptation process may look like - characteristics and how to get the best out of each stage.

There’s no set timeline for this process and you can jump between stages as well - it’s not linear. But - knowing about each one can help you feel more at ease with what you experience and learn throughout your stay abroad☺️

Which stage would you say you are now?

These feelings can be particularly prevalent when you enter the 'shock' phase of the adaptation process. Sometimes they come more often than usual, often unexpectedly triggered.⁠
⁠
Remember though that there's no set timeline for this ☝️- different people may experience these phases in a different order and of varying length. It's also possible that we jump between phases every now and then depending on the context. ⁠
⁠
Although these emotions are not the most comfortable ones usually, I encourage you to look at the information they provide - all emotions are providers of information!

What needs are unmet for you when you feel these? Did some boundaries get crossed? What are you missing? ⁠🧐
⁠
You can then use this insight to create the environment for yourself where you can get these needs met at least to some extent, and likely in ways different from the default you've been going for before. ⁠

Shock phase is a necessary one for adaptation - it helps us grow and understand the new culture (if we allow ourselves the space to do so!). If you’re stuck in this phase and want to get out - comment ‘Yes’ below and I will reach out to chat. Perhaps coaching with me could be of help! ☺️

Honeymoon phase is a nice one, let's be honest! 😊⁠
⁠
Experiencing these positive feelings may show you that your needs of novelty and new experiences are met, that you have chosen well, excitement about learning new thing that you've been waiting for. ⁠
⁠
To make the best out of this phase, it's worth noting these feelings, living in the moment, appreciating these, and capture as much of this excitement and fascination as possible during this time.⁠
⁠
Thanks to this, you can refer to these later when some tougher times inevitably come (because: life!) 💪 ⁠ ⁠

Did I manage to catch you in this phase of your move abroad journey? 😊

If you’re further down the line - how was your experience?

For me in the honeymoon phases the most important and valuable thing was to journal, meaning document the nice things I saw, what I like, what I feel excited about in the new place. This helped me immensely when the shock inevitably hit me, providing me with a) some nice memories to hold on to and b) a reminder of all the reasons I’ve made the move for in the first place 💪💪💪

Fancy some support in your adaptation journey? You know where to find me - I’m just a DM away 😊
