Step
Out-
It may take a little time, energy, and valor, but integrating yourself into your
new community is a step that will be rewarded in the long run. Going for a
walk, drive, or bike ride to learn your away around the neighborhood and meet
your new neighbors is a great way to do this. Assimilating into your new
environment is a gradual process, but the sooner you begin to do it, the more
settled you will begin to feel in your home.
Join
in- A
great way to meet friends and to get involved is to join clubs that match your
interests. Book clubs, gyms, sewing… The possibilities of organizations that
can help you to meet people in your new community are endless. Check out
the local library or coffee shop for bulletin boards where notices of meetings
and community events are posted and join in! And remember, all of the sports leagues, churches, and
other parts of your life in your old community will still be available in your
new community.
Keep
Smiling- In addition to being a very busy time, moving can be
quite emotional for many people. Therefore, it is important that you take time
every day for yourself to do something that you enjoy and that will make you feel
positive. Try not to sweat the small stuff, and remember that there is always
tomorrow to get to that next box that needs unpacking. It’s natural to miss the
way that things were at your old home, but try to take time to appreciate the
new things in your life as well. Having an optimistic attitude and staying
positive will help you to adjust to your new home more quickly.
