How To Increase Your Happiness as a Migrant to Australia

This week, I had the absolute pleasure to speak with Smirna Romero, Counsellor at Always Mind about how we can secure happiness after moving to Australia. Smirna took some time to discuss the psychological effects of migration and how to add more strategies to your life to increase your comfort and confidence in Australia.

Migration provides us with a rich chance to build our skills, character and knowledge of ourselves but with that can come some true tests on our well being. While homesickness and culture shock are common terms that most people know about, Migratory Grief is a condition that is not generally talked about.

All migrants will experience forms of migratory grief that can have a massive impact on mental health and wellbeing. This podcast talks you through symptoms of migratory grief to watch for and will help you separate the natural impact of migratory grief on you so that you can understand your comfort in Australia is not all about your strength and skills. Tough times will arise and it's normal for grief to kick in for all migrants in some very surprising ways. Once you know this, you can prepare yourself to build supports and strategies to protect your well being, mental health and ultimately increase your happiness, confidence and comfort.

Migratory Grief, is also referred to as Ulysses Syndrome. While Ulysses Syndrome isn't a mental health disorder per se it will shake your wellbeing around and it's important to acknowledge its unique presence in your life as an expatriate so you can put some strategies in place.⁠
