  • I don’t know if you’ve been through something that makes you on edge, in which case I’d talk to a professional. But otherwise I’d start here: establish a baseline for each environment you find yourself in. That just means figuring out what’s normal and what’s not in any given scenario. That requires awareness and observation. If you’re talking about possibly dangerous people, you need to read body language, verbal and nonverbal cues. If it’s dangerous environments, talk to people who are regularly there. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a lot of information out there about figuring out how to know if a situation is dangerous to you or not. But mainly, listen to your intuition. If something feels off, take action (usually get out of there, if you can).













  • Have you ever moved from one country to another? I’ve done it five times in my life. Every time took a large amount of doing, and required money to both move and get started in the new place. Had to find jobs and an affordable place to live. Had to get through the immigration procedures (either have a well-paying job lined up when you move or have a local spouse). Had to learn new languages and adapt to the local cultures. Had to build new social connections. And more.

    With that in mind, how many people can we honestly say are able to just pick up and move? And the list of new places to go to, where the conditions are favorable, is quickly shrinking.
