I went hiking yesterday.<\/p>\n
Exercise is very good for the mind, and definitely the best way for me to refresh right now.<\/p>\n
I also try to go to the gym at least five times a week.<\/p>\n
I always look forward to exercise that day .<\/p>\n
To be honest, I used to hate exercising.<\/p>\n
When I was in Japan, I was working so much that I had no time for exercise at all.<\/p>\n
And my days were filled with girls and alcohol.<\/p>\n
I didn’t have time to spend on myself, I was just looking for pleasure and enjoyment but it was kind of addiction.<\/p>\n
Now that I am spending more time on myself, I can see myself in a completely different light from my life in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Life in Tokyo was very exciting for me coming from the countryside, and there were so many temptations that I didn’t even think about spending time on myself. I think it was partly because I was young.<\/p>\n
There were so many things happening every day that time flew by.<\/p>\n
I thought that Life was not fun unless you were doing something.<\/p>\n
I felt bored if I didn’t have friends, I felt lame if I didn’t have a girlfriend, and so on.<\/p>\n
Maybe I was looking too much for what is called “rear satisfaction”.<\/p>\n
Since I came to the U.S., My family is in Japan, not here, and even if I have friends, they went back home country eventually.<\/p>\n
In the beginning living U.S, I felt alone and I was lonely and difficult.<\/p>\n
But fortunately, I never got homesick.<\/p>\n
Thanks to my parents’ education, I am allowed to do what I want to do, and I am living a very happy life now.<\/p>\n
Some people get homesick living abroad.<\/p>\n
There are many people who get homesick when living in a different country, or who feel lonely and are wondering if they should return home.<\/p>\n
But there are also many people who don’t want to leave and want to accomplish something here.<\/p>\n
It’s quite hard, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
You have to think about your friends, your family, and what you would have done differently if you had stayed in Japan.<\/p>\n
There are many things to think about.<\/p>\n
However, The reason I don’t get homesick is probably because<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These are the four things that keep my spirit alive.<\/p>\n
It is really important to live in a place that you like.<\/p>\n
First of all, I enjoy waking up everyday. Even if I have a little difficult situation or something painful, as long as I can enjoy today, my life will be worth it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Exercise creates space in your brain and makes feel better.<\/p>\n
When your brain is tired, exercising and sweating will help you release stress and refresh your body, so everything will be fine. Also, strength training is a way to make you like yourself.<\/p>\n
As for sleep, you can tell when your body and brain are not in good shape when you realize that you often don’t sleep well. I try to sleep when I can and take it easy on myself.<\/p>\n
Eating well is a good idea.<\/p>\n
When you start to eat well, you will notice how well you are feeling.<\/p>\n
And a good food-balanced will definitely helps you.<\/p>\n
I think a lot of people over thinking, over working, it when they live in a foreign country.<\/p>\n
It’s not just about money.<\/p>\n
There is also Visa and language issues.<\/p>\n
It’s hard to make friends, and there’s not much time.<\/p>\n
However, it is also true that there are many people who are trying their best.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of things that don’t work out, like not being able to adjust to life in a foreign country.<\/p>\n
But I like myself now very much.<\/p>\n
I would like to share my feelings with those who are struggling like me so that they can have a good life in different countries.<\/p>\n
Eventually,<\/p>\n
I’m sure that one day “living foreign country” will change to “living now”.<\/p>\n
