How to Make a Fresh Start in a New City
“I am single and the job will be demanding, but I want to make social connections. I am overwhelmed.”
By Heather Gray
Hey, Heather
There’s nothing glaringly wrong with my life, but I have less energy and investment than I used to. What can I do to enjoy life more again? I just accepted a new job in a new city, halfway across the country. I am single and the job will likely be very demanding and take up a lot of time and energy, but I also want to make social connections and get to know the city. I am overwhelmed and wondering where to start. –Brian.
Brian,
I am sure it’s hard to feel excited about your new job when it’s going to be coming with so many changes all at once. Congratulations on getting it, though. Also, I think what you’re doing is incredibly brave and is a bold action to take in your life.
You started your question by saying that you have less energy and investment than you used to but committing to moving for a job requires a lot of energy and investment on your part. Have you recognized yourself for making a bold leap that many would be scared to do? What’s your story about someone who picks up and moves for a job?
