A new city with your old habits is just your old life with different scenery.

Geography changes the backdrop and leaves the script intact. The routines you carry with you are the part that determines how the days feel, and they pack easily, which is why so many fresh starts turn out to be the same life in an unfamiliar room. The place was never the problem.

Before you pin your hopes on a move, pick one habit you would need to change wherever you lived, and change it where you are. If it holds for a month, the move becomes an addition instead of an escape.
