#147 [Adjusting Well] Stop blaming China—battling negativity

How many times have you said or heard, “It’s so much easier back home!” It is? Really? Or are you living in a fantasy world where your former life in your home country was seemingly perfect, with no challenges, no tough days, no arguments, no disappointments and no setbacks. At least, NOTHING compared to what you’re experiencing in China! Make no qualms about it, it’s super easy to get caught in the negativity trap about your new host country. It's the classic blame game, where China is unfairly criticized for circumstances that aren’t actually its fault. In this episode of Adjusting Well to life in China, we’ll dive into negativity, find its root and learn a couple of easy ways to battle it in our day to day. As an aside, of course, there are challenges that are legitimately China specific that get us down and we’ll talk about those, too.
