“Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius

Are you moving this summer? Is it time for you to move on to your next assignment, go where the jobs are, or maybe return to your home country?

Even an eagerly anticipated move can turn your life upside down. You need to deal with the logistics of course, but much more importantly, you need to take care of yourself emotionally.

Boxes don’t have feelings. They’ll be OK. You, on the other hand, need to make sure that you get closure and leave well, so that you can thrive in your next location instead of living in the past.

This month, we look at the best strategies to help you ensure that you “go with all your heart” – serenely and looking forward to the future.
