Sit down with me as I share my personal life update while settling in Taiwan and reflecting on the insights I’ve gained during this transition. I talk about the grounding and restorative activities and circuit breakers that are helping me adjust, and why connecting with your roots can be so powerful. Join me as I open up about this journey and the lessons I’m learning along the way while I’m living in Taiwan.
DARING LIVING PODCAST SHOWNOTES
Key Points:
- I just turned 30 and moved from Vancouver to Taiwan. This time in my life (my Saturn Return) is all about growing up and taking on more responsibility.
- Being back in Taiwan feels different – I feel like I truly belong here. When I hear people speaking Mandarin and see others who look like me, I feel completely at home in a way I never did in Vancouver.
- Even with the huge time difference between Taiwan and Vancouver, I made sure to keep doing my important daily habits like jogging and stretching. This helped me feel normal during a big change.
- I used to rush around trying to do everything – eat at all the famous places, see everyone, buy everything. Now I find just as much joy in simple things like walking in the park or eating at a local shop.
- I learned that I don’t need to chase after things to feel good. I can create my own joy and energy from within, no matter where I am.
Actionable Takeaways:
- Take small breaks during your day – go for a quick walk or do some stretching between tasks to feel refreshed.
- Pick 1-2 simple things that help you feel good and do them every day, especially when life gets busy.
- Find ways to connect with your culture and background – whether that’s visiting your home country or joining local community events.
- Try to enjoy the little moments in your day instead of always looking for the next big thing.
- Look at what you’re already doing each day and ask yourself: “How can I enjoy this more?” instead of thinking you need to change everything to be happy.
