Staying away from home for a career has become common in today's time. In such a situation, it is important that if you stay out of the house, then choose a completely safe environment.
Dhara had two options - either she could choose her loved ones or her dreams. In this situation, she was logical and decided to live in another city away from her loved ones to fulfill her dream and become a successful interior designer. Like Dhara, today many women are living alone in other cities or countries for studies, jobs, and careers. But no doubt living away from home has faced many challenges. In such a situation, you have to take care of yourself.
Peep hole or video doorbell
Installing a peephole or video doorbell on the door for your safety in an unknown city is an important step from the security point of view. Apart from this, you can also use security cameras, motion sensors, and alarms. This will make you feel safe even while living alone.
Pet
If you live alone, you can keep a pet with you. Animals help keep humans stress-free. They reduce the level of your stress hormones and increase the hormones of happiness. If you keep a dog as a pet, it also proves to be a protector for you.
Know the neighborhood
Knowing the neighborhood can prove to be very helpful from the security point of view, so make friends with your neighbors and take time to meet them. This increases trust in each other and also creates a sense of community security, but do not share your personal information with anyone.
Sharing is caring
Adopt the sharing is a caring formula to build a good relationship with your roommate. Start a friendship with your roommate by helping with small tasks. If you like, you can also share dresses and footwear with your roommate. This will strengthen the friendship between the two of you.
Dialogue will make things work
Dialogue is an effective medium of friendship, through which you can establish a good relationship with your roommate and become each other's helping hand in the new city. You can also share the good and bad experiences and feelings of the day with your roommate.
Day-out plan
When you live away from family, home, or city, you need to adjust to other people. In such a situation, plan a day out with your roommate. Eat, drink, and talk together. This will help both of you to know each other and you will be able to make a 'home' away from home.
Make new friends
Life coach Nidhi Gupta says, that nowadays it has become common to live alone in a PG or hostel for a career. But in all this, it is important to take care of your safety and health. When you live in the city away from home, you feel lonely. Many times it also hurts the mind. Therefore, you mustn't let yourself feel lonely. Make friends, meet them.
If you don't have time to meet, then make a video call. By doing this, we feel that everyone is with us. You can join the community of the society where you are living and make new friends. By doing this, you will feel a change in yourself internally. But in all this, it is important to exercise daily and keep the body and mind healthy.
