Overcoming culture shock
Updated: 2014-05-21 08:04 (bbs.chinadaily.com.cn)6. Be prepared to fail.
The biggest threat in overcoming culture shock is missing your loved ones back home. It’s the hardest thing to deal with, especially is it’s your first time away from home. Even if you’re from an individualistic society, you will end up missing someone. Missing your wife and children is especially hard. The best way to deal with this is to focus on your goals and push yourself to achieve those goals. Read positive messages and books to keep your mind from going OFF. Keep your mind busy and be active with your body. Exercise regularly and wrap your mind around your sole purpose of being in your new place.
