For years new communication mediums have permit to travel more easily and to bring cultures together. Like this people had the opportunity to discover new destination. On the other hand discover doesn't mean understand ! That's why we can meet some problems when we arrive in a new country with a different culture like a culture shock. In this small article I will particularly describe this phenomenon and give a piece of advice to have a better adaptation.
What is Culture Shock?
Culture shock is the term used to describe the feeling of anxiety that a person can experience after they have moved into an entirely new environment.
How can I minimize Culture Shock?
Your experience of Culture Shock will vary depending on many factors, such as whether you are single or migrating as a family or if you know of friends, religion or culture groups in your new homeland. The stress that results from Culture Shock can be counteracted or reduced. Activities such as developing a hobby, incorporating daily exercise into your routine such as walking or jogging in a park, swimming in a public pool, joining a local library, taking time to appreciate the good things in your life, relaxation and/or meditation, making contact with your ethnic group, making contact with your new culture by learning the language or volunteering for a community activity can be beneficial.
Of course you must allow yourself to grieve occasionally for all the loved ones you have left behind but never let that grief become the main focus in your life. If you are struggling to find employment then volunteer for work experience, not only is this a fantastic way to learn new skills but is also a great way to network and meet new people.
