Mindset / 02
Barcelonely

Tipps for you
01. Keep in touch with your family and friends
Set up regular calls with them, send some messages when thinking of them or feeling very lonely. Touching base on a regular basis will keep your homesickness-level to a minimum and if things get really bad, just talk with them about your next trip back home or maybe you simply invite them over to show them your new home away from home.
02. Find your new favourite places
Find your places. Your favourite café. Your favourite book store. Your happy place. A place where you feel safe, empowered, maybe even see and meet likeminded people. Get yourself out of your lonely bubble and discover your new surroundings.
03. Take important pieces with you
Take important things with you. Things with emotional value. With tradition. Something which immediately grounds you, comforts you, puts you in a good place.

Tipps for two
04. Dating your partner
The chances are great you’ll rediscover yourselves and what attracted you to each other, carve out the time and get to know each other all over again. New places also affect our identities, there is a big chance you and your partner might discover new interests, reawaken dormant projects. Simply ask, be curious and open for change.
05. Start some projects together
Maybe you both always dreamed of this one venture you never got the time or support for, but now might be just the right moment to try it out, because nobody back home is watching you. Just go for it, what’s the worst that could possibly happen except of some personal pride being in your own way? And be assured, your partner will be your biggest ally.
06. Celebrate your new phase with each other
Never forget to celebrate where you’re at, even if you’re having a tough time, you’re not alone in this. You and your partner are both in the same situation and trying to figure things out along the way, so take the time here and then to celebrate the small and big wins, starting with having dared to leave your comfort zones and exploring new ways of living and working. Cheers to you!
