Don\u2019t think about re-entry as an illness and don\u2019t be afraid of it. Think of it as an opportunity. You have a chance to step back, think about what matters to you and then you can create a new, global life that is right for you. You can work with a professional to go through these things or with friends and family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Allow yourself to feel what you feel:<\/strong> You will feel a huge mix of feelings when you go home. Don\u2019t try to cover up those feelings and don\u2019t think that anything is wrong with you if you feel sad or a little depressed when you first get home. It\u2019s ok to have mixed feelings about your experience abroad. You might be happy to be back, but you might miss your life abroad at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Create a new global life at home: <\/strong>Think about what you loved about your life abroad. Was it the challenge? Was it the constant traveling and visiting new places? Was it meeting new people every day?
