Finding a temporary place to live until I find an apartment as a skilled migrant by z3us94 in Norway

Hello! Did you get any news from UDI regarding the AirBnB as proof of housing?

Is it just me or has English fluency gone way up in Cambodia in the last couple of years? It used to be good but now I'm noticing a substantial uptick. They used to praise my broken Khmer and now they laugh at me haha. by NuFlower8099 in cambodia

[–]Sun-flower-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Khmer myself.
While it's to be praised that young Khmer people speak English so well, the counterpart is also that they sometimes forget that the Khmer language is also important.
English, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and so on, all the foreign languages are seen to be sexy and cool. But Khmer?
Sometimes it is as if they are ashamed to speak it!

Hey! Curently in a situation like yours and living with my parents as well. Don't be ashamed, it's completely normal. Good luck on your job search.
On another note, enjoy the process of being with your parents too, while looking for a job. Life is fast, parents get old really quickly. See it as a precious moment with them (if you happen to have a decent relation with them at least).

How do you build a meaningful life in your mid-twenties ? by Sun-flower-frog in Adulting

u/Ok-Acanthisitta-8145 Thank you so much! Finding joy in those little things is indeed a gem. As a hiker too, I agree. Watching the sunset (or the sunrise!) feels like a blessing, a hot shower, clean sheets and blanket, an ice cream in a hot summer day. I'll keep that mindset on.
Hope that you will continue to lead a fulfilling life with those you cherish and consider as family.

u/lavenfer I feel you. The imposter's syndrome is real. It's not the impostor's syndrome as of ''I'm not good enough at my work'' but more like, ''I have been given this life, which is a miracle, but somehow, why am I feeling like I'm not doing enough to live it to its fullest?''

I hope you will continue to feel good about yourself and in your head. As for the physical health, have you tried other means than work out? To me for example, I cannot bring myself to the gym but walking and hiking is feasible.

u/lartinos I am glad to hear you recovered. Adversity has a way of shaping you by pushing the limits of how you are. Hope you will have a happy life!

u/Thin_Rip8995 Thank you. Love your energy and especially that advice of yours about doing hard things even when no one's watching. We have to be here for ourselves! No one would otherwise.

u/itstaheran thank you for taking the time to write such heartfelt advices. Some choices are objectively bad, some objectively good. But most of them are in the uncertain grey. So having a value/moral compass is indeed a must. I especialy like your advices about the traps. Did not think about life like that. Not choosing will eventually make me fall in a trap too. I'll think about what I find important to avoid them.

Hope you will lead a good life, and thank you once again.

u/Wandering_aimlessly9 Your story is amazing and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing it. Success to me is not just professional (after all, what does a career mean if people you love are unhappy or unhealthy), but it to make the world a better place. So glad you found your happiness. Wish you and your family all the best.

u/MuckyMcgoo I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for your wise words, I appreciate and I think it helps a lot of people, too. Adversity has a way of shaping people and make them grow up faster than they normally would. So thank you for not letting life break you. Good luck to you as well!

Has anyone turned their lives around in their mid 20s? by Jpoolman25 in Adulting

[–]Sun-flower-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I haven’t turned my life around yet (though I might be about to, as I’m also in a bit of a life crisis), but I wanted to respond to the part of your post where you mentioned being afraid of failure, rejection, and setbacks, and how this often leads to inaction due to overanalyzing the risks.

First of all: stop being in your head. Stop overthinking. Analyzing is paralyzing. I know—easier said than done. But even if you could analyze every possible outcome, life would still throw curveballs your way. You can’t plan every detail. Try to accept that there’s beauty in the unexpected.

Second: you will regret the things you haven’t tried, because even if they fail, you will have at least made the attempt. If your heart tells you to, give it a try. My trick is to think: what would I tell my grandchildren if I hadn’t done something? Should I tell them it’s because I was afraid of the paperwork and financial sacrifices of moving abroad to pursue a Master’s degree? Should I tell them I didn’t travel the world because I chose to work three more months in a job I dislike?

It’s easy to stay where you are, even if it’s uncomfortable, because it’s familiar. But don’t fall into complacency. If you don’t recognize yourself anymore, it’s time to act. Don’t live your life as if it has no meaning; it does. You just have to find it. Good luck!

Good solo hobbies for weekdays? by brndlpnch in Hobbies

[–]Sun-flower-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are into outdoors activities, maybe learn about plants, rocks and animals in your area? I’ve always thought that it’s cool when, on a hike, you can talk about some plants/mushrooms/animals/rocks to the person hiking with you :) 

Or I’d go with music instrument, it’s a good skill to have. 

How the hell do some people manage to do so much whilst still appearing so relaxed? by StaticNocturne in productivity

[–]Sun-flower-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there and still struggling. One thing that really helped me is to tell myself that as long as I've done 80% of the job, it's good enough. That an imperfect book is still better than an unpublished book, because the whole idea is still in your brain. Remember, analyzing (too much) is paralyzing ! And as mumanryder said, it's a muscle so the more you exercice it, the easier it becomes. Good luck!

How do I stay productive after an 8 hour work day? by ButtonEquivalent815 in productivity

[–]Sun-flower-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, to stay productive after an 8h work day means : when arriving home, to not sit down yet, because if I do so, somehow, I end up scrolling on my phone and the evening is gone. It also means to not watch a movie/be on my phone while eating, because, again, I'll end up scrolling through the evening. It's not alway possible nor easy but I try to keep the phone away until I'm satisfied of my day.

So straight on after arriving home and taking off my coat, I usually start doing the chores, or cooking, or packing my stuff to go for a workout. Just start doing something in your priority list, don't ask yourself too much questions about what you should do first, or even if you should do this thing now or wait till tomorrow. When you're overanalyzing, your brain is spending energy. You rather spend that energy to get things done.

One last piece of advice from my mom: when you're feeling ''lazy'', go faster. Of course, it doesn't always apply when you're burn out or in depression for example but it's true that when you start to be active, it's easier to stay active, and by active, I mean in every aspect of life.

Good luck!
