How to Choose Where to Live

by Benay | Nov 26, 2012 | Coaching Skills |

People are really good at knowing what they don’t want about a place. But, because your unconscious mind does not hear the ‘don’t’ and only hears what comes next i.e. the thing you don’t want – you end up manifesting what you don’t want!

So, for heaven’s sake when you are choosing a new country to live in – focus on what you want! You do this by defining things exactly as you want them to be.

Let me give you a few examples so I can be sure that you totally get this.

Bad - Good

I don’t want to live in a polluted environment. - I want to live in an environment with clean, fresh air.

I don’t want to live in a place where it is grey and rains all the time. - I want to live in a place where it rains a few times a week so that everything is green and is otherwise sunny.

I don’t want to live in a dangerous country. - I want to live in a country that is peaceful and safe.

Need More Help With Question 38?

If it was hard for you answer question 38, then it might mean that you need to get yourself educated on your options. It’s time to do some research.

Now that you know, more or less, what you are looking for, make some time to do some window-shopping. The world is a big place where most things are possible somewhere. All you need to get started is the Internet.

Although I have been through the process of choosing a country to move to a few times myself, I am no expert when it comes to knowing countries inside and out. So, here are a few fun websites to help you get started.

Website - Description

International Living - All about retiring overseas. However you can learn heaps about different countries – just type in the country you are interested in into the search box. They also have cool lists of world rankings for countries. The ranking are based on other people’s criteria so they may be a bit distracting but they are fun if you need to get your creative juices flowing.

Dollar Vigilante /Resources - Extreme political views but resourceful and creative when it comes to getting second passports, and residency. Subscribers can get access to special reports by country.

The Professional Hobo - Tips on traveling full time in a financially sustainable way. Some good out of the box ideas that can help people who want to move but are on a limited budget.

 

I’m Building a Library

  • I’m putting together a list of websites that profile specific countries or regions within a country.

  • If you’ve come across any websites about a specific country or region and you think it’s worth sharing with other people, please let me know about it by posting a link to the site in the comments section below.

  • Thanks in advance for your help!

Hear From Our Clients

Anne Shaw

Thank you Jenny for providing the safe, trusted space I needed to explore memories of events that have had an impact on me.

Whilst I am familliar with EFT, I have not experienced it combined with Matrix Reimprinting. This combination was a powerful experience. It de-escalated the emotional charge by the tapping and even more than that I felt a deeper sense of peace as if what I am now feeling has always been there. I can still remember the incidents but there's no charge or negative thoughts rather a sense that all is well in my world. I'm the grown up taking care of me.

Thank you for the sense of relief and the feeling that i can move on where before this session I felt stuck.

I look forward to my next session.

Thank you so much Jenny.
