Geographic Move Adjustment Worksheet
Six months minimum
Moves — cities, countries, in or out of a shared home — reset almost every daily anchor. The adjustment is real and often minimized. Six months is the usual re-stabilizing window.
What I've lost by moving
People, places, routines, community, sense of ease
Anchors I'm rebuilding first
- A regular walking route
- A coffee / meal place I go weekly
- One community touchpoint (class, group, worship, gym)
- One person I speak to weekly, back home
- A local person I could ask for a small favor
Loneliness plan
The first 90 days will be lonely — how I'm meeting that without collapsing
Six months minimum
Big moves usually don't feel like home until month 6–12. That's not you struggling — it's the timeline.
