Just thought of writing my mind, many may not agree, my purpose will be fulfilled even if one gets motivated
My visa journey spans from 2013 to 2017, but never I had worried for the long time it took, I gave priority to things which I considered were significant in my life. Although the idea of going to Australia happened in 2003 at the time I was selecting a college for the engineering program.
During school days, exams ended around 15th and results were declared on 30th, new session started thereafter, the period between 15-30 was the best days, no worries of anything, just enjoyment, I used to get up earlier than usual, just to explore the places around my house in the morning breeze, read comics and even newspaper which was not that exciting when school session started, I used to enjoy that every moment within those 15 days.
the period between visa application and grant letter is something like those 15 days, no worries of English test, arranging RNR letter, going for PCC etc, we are free to relax and do what we have been missing for many months/years, we are looking forward to enter a prospering country, a hopefully good future, but in this wait many don't realize the golden time we have in hand, we should enjoy life, we have invested a lot of time after visa, this is the time when we should invest in ourselves, our mind, our body. our skills. Visa will come eventually but we shouldn't miss the opportune moment
to develop ourselves.
The waiting time takes a toll and I have seen even seasoned person falling prey to it, but let us at least try to overcome that, we can invest time in
- read a book or whatever stuff we like
- develop fitness by yoga, walking/running, join a gym
- learning a different language - not English, something else, like we have so many languages in our own country which we can learn and practice, this activity is one which interests me, so far I have been able to speak Bengali & odiya, not fluently but to some extent, there was a time when I was conversant in Tamil but unfortunately I lost touch, I will try to gain grip again
- painting, gaming
- take a break, enjoy a holiday
- volunteer for an orphanage or an old age home
- work towards improving your technical skills which can help you in job search in the new country
- or anything which gives you peace
We are so much engulfed by elements of visa journey that we miss to realize the things beyond this, the sunshine we are not able to visualize. Remember, PTE/IELTS, Eoi, visa, Job etc are just part of a journey, we have a life larger than that. Meet new persons, make companions for life not just for small steps of visa journey, stay away from negative people, enjoy time with family members, visit your hometown, your ancestral place, and yeah do keep DIBP informed of your travels, let them know you have a life beyond visa journey, DIBP will be pleased to know that the applicant is a person who enjoys life.
Regarding how I spent my time after visa application, I kept myself busy with a significant project and I was able to convert it into reality before I got the visa, I am not at liberty to share this thing in the forum.
Good morning and Have a Great Life
