Relocating is not just a move but It is a mental shift

Greeting Steemit Family

Wow, it’s been a while. Yeah, sometimes offline activities can take you off. It’s been a couple of busy days for me, not just busy, but stressful as well.

What is my impression about relocating? Whether alone or with your family?

Personally, there are many emotions involved when it comes to relocating. What do I mean by relocating? I’m talking about a complete move from one town or country to another. This is not just about visiting; it’s a full shift.

There are a lot of reasons that push people to relocate, and most of the time, they’re deeply personal. Relocating isn’t something I particularly cherish, mainly because of the challenges involved. While I have my reasons, I can still share why others feel relocating is a great adventure in life.

  • For some people, relocating pulls them out of their comfort zone, and that in turn, helps them grow. It cuts you off from your old circle and places you in a new environment. There’s this saying: “You only grow when you leave your family behind.”

  • Moving to a new environment can open the door to making new friends, in other words, networking. That can lead to new business opportunities and personal growth.

  • We all fall into routines. Relocating can shake that up and allow you to rebuild your lifestyle. Your habits, mindset, and interactions will change and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.

  • Like I said, it’s challenging. You might end up damaging some relationships or even some of your belongings. I can testify to that: one of my couches arrived with a broken stand. But still, many people say relocating is something worth experiencing at least once in life.

  • Relocating can help balance your life. A new environment might be the perfect setup for you to accomplish your goals both professionally and personally.

Finally, relocating comes with lessons, and I have picked up a few in the past few days. Before taking on such an adventure, be ready to learn something new. Sharpen your resilience, adaptability, and patience. These qualities are key to maintaining your mental health throughout the transition.
For me, it was a successful move with my family but honestly, it would take a lot for me to try it again.



Cheers
Thanks for dropping by

You have said it all Sir. Relocation as to do with emotions, I remember when I was about leaving my aunt whom have stayed with for twelve years I cried many times thinking about so many things which you have outline already;
How will I cope in my new environment,it was much difficult for me because I was actually leaving town to village contemplating with so many things, how I will cope in the village, starting life in the village was a bit difficult for me but now I have been able to adjust while developing and acquiring knowledge for business.

Thank you for always putting a impactful thought for us here. I love reading your post and I wish I could write like you do.😁😁

Lol, the last section made me smile. I’m still learning how to be a writer. Steemit has helped me with writing content for social media. If you say I’m doing well, I honestly say it is thanks to my time and growth on that platform.

You have to stay consistent and learn from your mistakes. I have made a lot of mistakes on this platform, and fortunately, I have used those mistakes to correct and improve myself.

Back to your comment, whenever you step out of your comfort zone, it is never easy. You have to let go of your familiar environment and adapt to a completely new location. Just thinking about the challenges can sometimes scare you into wanting to go back. LOL.

Thanks to @nsisong2022, you have been doing extremely well on the platform. I’m hoping to tap into your motivation.

Exactly Sir, when I left my aunt place I thought of going back because of the conducive environment I was enjoying like constant light and solar system installed at home,the first few months wasn't nice but overtime I realize I was actually living my whole life to pleased my aunt family and I have realize the part of my life that I need to develop to fit in and live well in the changing society.

Earnestly speaking, I didn't believe I can be these far, because when my mentor introduce the platform to me and talk about writing and markdown I see myself as incapable of the tasks that is while I couldn't utilize my first three months as a newcomer very well. But overtime, I can comfortably create three Post in a day without lacking words,all these can be attributed to all your support and encouragement from my boss @etette who constantly insist I should put something down that with often times I will get perfect which I did and now here I am,I greatly appreciate you all.

Lastly, your diary always inspire and spur me up to do more.
Thank you for always finding out time to engage with me here.

Hahahahaha, that’s the situation most of us went through. I knew about the platform back in 2016, but the fact that I had to write a post kept me from joining. I just did not feel ready. It was not until 2020 that I finally made up my mind to give it a try.

It’s been a learning process step by step, I have been improving. This platform has even helped me professionally. For example, it’s given me a better understanding of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, knowledge I would have had to pay for on other platforms.

I will keep saying this, this platform is not for fraudsters. If you want to stay here, you must be truthful with yourself first. During my time here, I have seen many people come and go. Most of them left because they did not want to develop themselves. They wanted to get rich quickly from the platform.

Yes, we all want to earn. Like one of my friends always says, Chop small small, chop for long.

Back to your comment. The moment you are on your own, you begin to learn how to take responsibility for your actions. Every choice from that point is yours. If it fails, you learn. If it succeeds, you knock your head and say, Well done.

That is when you know you are becoming independent, because no one needs to tell you what direction to take.

No matter what, I’m very positive about the growth that comes from stepping out of your comfort zone.

This is just nothing but the truth Sir, I have been independent ever since I left my aunt house I take full responsibility of my actions, I can remember when I lost my phone due to power outage while charging in someone's house and my phone was stolen, I had to buy a new one without waiting for anyone for help " that's me being responsible for my action".
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, I greatly valued your time.
