Mistake #1 - Putting off moving because you think now is not the best time.


For example, people feel mentally unprepared, fearing change. For some reason, we tend to deceive ourselves that the situation will change by itself after some time. But since our war has been going on for more than one month ... This is not so. If you are not ready now, you will not be ready in five years. If you have a dream, start moving towards it now with the support of friends or professionals.

Mistake No. 2 - Thinking that leaving with children and settling in a new place is more difficult than alone

Of course, if you are alone, without children, then leaving for you should not be any problem at all. An adult person will be able to provide for himself everywhere if he does not fall into the state of a victim.
Having children, some believe that it will be easier to leave first alone and then move the family. But such a procedure is much more complicated and problematic than moving all together. Not to mention the moral component - having a family nearby, you will also have support, which plays a very important role in adaptation.
If you have children, then it is not at all a fact that it will be more difficult to leave with them.

Mistake #3 - Hesitating because of older parents
It happens that people want to move, but, having elderly parents, they are afraid to leave them alone, especially if there are no other relatives who are ready to help them.

This, of course, is extremely important - not to leave your parents without support, but think that by leaving and improving your standard of living, you can help them much more than by staying physically close, but having no prospects for your own development.
Later, if you wish, you can carry your parents with you. Some countries have sponsorship and family reunification programs. But even if this option does not suit you, you can still help your parents more financially by having a higher income level in a new country.

You should not feel selfish when leaving your parents in order to realize yourself and improve the quality of life for yourself and your family. A normal adequate parent will be happy if his child manages to create better living conditions for himself.

Mistake #4 - Focusing on a specific destination

on the one hand, it is undoubtedly important - to have a dream and strive for it, it will give you motivation and energy for action. But, on the other hand, such a narrow focus can limit your chances.

Here it is important for yourself to decide what is your true desire: moving or the desire to live in a particular place, the desire to change something in life or getting a Wishlist.
Even if you have a very specific dream, I recommend looking at other options that are as similar as possible.
Mistake #5 - Thinking everything will go according to plan
It never happens, or almost never, that everything goes according to plan. Even with the best strategy, there is a high probability of encountering situations that could not have been foreseen. A vivid example of this: coronavirus and quarantine.

It is not necessary to try to anticipate all sorts of overlays and problems. When planning a move, and indeed any changes in life, always be open and ready for possible changes. Look at the obstacles that have arisen more broadly and be ready to be flexible, in this case, even if you hit a dead end on the path to implementing one plan, you can easily switch to another path or just change something.

Of course, when drawing up a strategy, it is important to take into account all the conditions and resources, both available to you and expected when you move. Each such strategy is purely individual and should be tailored specifically to your case.
I hope this blog will help you make important decisions for yourself.
Have a nice day
