"...Read on to learn everything you need to know about adjusting to a new city by getting used to your surroundings, making a house into a home, finding activities you love, and more!"
Dear Friend,
If you're moving or you've already relocated, then you've probably spent a lot of time packing, taking care of all the logistics of leases, bank accounts, etc. All of this is a normal place to focus, and tends to be where all our attention goes, especially during the final stages of a move.
The problem is, after you move, and finish unpacking, you're faced with the mundane reality of your every day life. Without preparing for this, you could end up feeling lonely, frustrated, and unhappy enough to pack your bags right back up and return home.
Even if you are repatriating, or moving someplace that is seemingly the same as where you're moving from, you will inevitably experience culture shock and frustration if you don't prepare.
Don't Underestimate the Impact of the Little Changes You'll Experience!
It's often the least expected changes that have the biggest impact on us when we move. The mere fact that a place looks differently - from the architecture to the streets - can be enough to bring about culture shock and depression. When there is nothing around you that feels familiar, the overall result can be a feeling of alienation, and craving everything you left behind.
Just the mere difference of paved and cobblestoned streets can be enough to make you start missing home...
Here's How to Prepare for the Personal Needs You'll Have After Relocating!
My name is Heather Markel. Over the past 25 years, I've experienced life in 4 different countries and 2 states in the US. I've also spent years working alongside expatriates, and people who've moved domestically for work. I've experienced first-hand the issues that come up after relocating, and the strategies you need to navigate the rough times so that you can enjoy the new life you're in the process of creating.
I've gathered these concepts and strategies into an eBook, along with actions and an Action Guide for you to follow to make sure you don't fall victim to homesickness or depression after a personal, family, or business relocation.
Learn the Ten Steps to Personal Relocating Success!
Here's what this eBook will help you learn and manage:
 Is this move right for you? Learn how to ask the right questions to determine whether or not to move. Or, use the same question strategy to help you get out of any resentment you might encounter after moving.
Your expectations. Understand what underlying needs and expectations you have that may sabotage your moving experience and how to use them to help you understand how to create the structures you need in your new life.
Finding a place to live. And I don't mean the obvious tips you already know! Learn the key considerations you need to take into account and how to choose a place that you'll be happy with.
Making a new place feel like home. Whether moving to a place you choose, or into a pre-selected, pre-furnished home, learn how to make it a place you enjoy returning to - one of the worst feelings after moving can be hating your home, or coming back to a place that seems "foreign" - learn how to avoid these feelings!
How to find activities you enjoy. Whether you're moving on your own, or with your family, figuring out what resources your city has to offer, and navigating when and where they're available is another essential piece of your experience. I'll show you key factors to consider, and how to go about finding activities you enjoy, and the importance of learning what your new environment will, and will not, allow you to do.
The importance of learning a new language . Hint - this applies to you even if you're moving to another place that speaks the same language! Learn why it's so important that you learn to speak the same lingo and language as those around you, how to figure out your best learning style, and a bunch of excellent resources to get started!
...And More!
Bridge the Cross-Cultural Training Gaps
If you're moving overseas, then you may have been fortunate enough to have participated in cross-cultural training. I'm a huge advocate of these programs! However, they tend to overlook the topics in my eBook. Traditionally, they'll prepare you for some of the cultural differences to expect, which is a great thing to know.
However, they don't usually cover the more "mundane" and "small" issues you'll experience, and it's often these smaller issues that cause the biggest challenges! This eBook is one in a series that will pick up where Cross Cultural Training leaves off - you'll get the tools and resources you need to ensure that your everyday life will be enjoyable, and you won't have the urge to run right back home.
Listen to What Other's Have Said about The Personal Success Method and about working with Heather
The material helped me grow personally and professionally, and leave low self esteem behind! |
"I found the mp3 interview included with The Personal Success Method system very interesting. The way you communicate your professional advice in parallel with your personal experience is impressive. My heart was deeply touched by the interview because I felt like I identified with you.
Moreover, the bonus in the action guide was an extremely useful tool for me - and still is as I re-read it again and again. Your "Positive List" excerise allowed me to see that on my list of positive aspects are the strengths that have helped me, and continue to help me, facilitate the process of adapting to new cultures. Focusing on these strengths has allowed me to grow personally and professionally, and I consider them key factors in my spiritual growth as well. When I re-read the positive list I made and focus on it, I am finding that low self-esteem gets left behind. Very inspiring.
Thank you for your interesting material!"

Heather helped me see fresh viewpoints and consider new ideas |
"The biggest value I got from coaching with Heather was repeatedly going to mining depths I never knew existed. It always surprised me that though Heather has a very practical/goal-oriented side, she has an enormous spiritual side as well. She always helped me see fresh viewpoints and consider new ideas I hadn't thought of."
Steve Rozengauz, International Entrepreneur |
Heather helped me to create techniques to help me move forward |
"Heather is a wonderful coach. Every session she was completely focused on me and so responsive to my needs and where I was ready to go. While we certainly dealt with serious emotional issues, we also had fun and were able to develop a wonderful rapport. Heather helped me to create techniques to help me move forward with issues that I still use today. Working with her was invaluable. "
