A Fresh Start
Starting over in a new city is challenging, especially if we don’t know anyone already living there. There are a few ways that can make us feel like we are right at home. For example, we can find the local spots where everyone hangs out; this is one way to make us feel right at home.
Another way is saying yes to work outings even when we don’t yet know our co-workers. Amanda was looking for a new job, and mingling with her new workmates would help her discover new spots that she wouldn’t have otherwise known. Our instincts might go against this, but this strategy is much better.
