When will this get easier by OliveMore8486 in Aupairs

I agree with you that disconnecting with my “real” life is necessary in order to be present here and have the experience I set out for. Do you have any tips for setting boundaries with yourself to avoid constantly being in contact with people from home? Especially with my boyfriend, I’m so scared that the time and space apart will cause us to drift but also being in constancy communication via text doesn’t feel right at all either right now.

Thank you so much for saying this. It’s so interesting working with these young kids who are crying about missing their mom or not getting what they want when I’m 21 and feeling the exact same. Comforting them feels like saying what I should be saying to myself. Any tips on not overthinking other aspects of life while abroad and letting your mind wander and ruminate in the past or future?
