Simple and Effective Tips for Relieving Stress When Preparing for a Move

Simple and Effective Tips for Relieving Stress When Preparing for a Move

Submitted by admin on Monday, 12 July 2021 - 18:38 Posted in Moving Tips & Tricks

Moving to a new city or a new home in the same town can be bittersweet. It means getting exciting about living in a new home or new surroundings, but it can also mean stress. This stress is often associated with change, financial challenges, and the time-consuming tasks of packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking.

These simple yet effective tips will help you prepare for your next move, so you can continue being excited without all the stress.

Recognizing Your Stress

Relieving stress involves understanding what is causing it. For example, moving stress is often associated with three factors; change, time, and money. That’s because moving always involves all three.

Moving may mean that you’ll be living in a new town or starting a new job. These changes can be exciting, but they’re inherently stressful too. So it’s understandable to feel nervous about significant life changes.

Time management is a significant cause of stress for people of all lifestyles. The numerous processes of moving, from packing to unpacking, take time. As a result, you may feel like there’s not enough time in the day to work or handle other obligations while preparing for your move.

Moving is never free. Even if you’re able to cram all of your possessions into the back of your vehicle, you’ll still be dealing with the cost of fuel, purchases needed for your new home, and more. Larger moves typically require assistance from a quality moving company. Financial difficulties can be a significant source of stress.

Relieving Stress Associated With Moving

Stress can have adverse effects on physical and mental health. Too much stress can lead to sickness, depression, aches and pains, and more. Relieving the stress associated with moving can make your move more enjoyable and more productive.

Start Now

Start preparing for your move as soon as you find out it’s going to happen. This is not a process you want to save until the last minute. Instead, start by decluttering and donating or selling items you don’t need. You can also pack unessential items slowly over several weeks. Starting early will prevent the stress associated with procrastination.

Make Lists

Lists help you stay organized, and organization can reduce your stress. First, start a list of the tasks you need to accomplish before your move. Include picking up packing supplies, ensuring essential documents are stored safely, and list items you don’t want to forget. The goal is to break your move into several smaller and less intimidating steps.

Make It Fun

You don’t have to dread the tedious moving process of organizing, packing, and unpacking. Instead, you can make them fun for yourself and your kids by ordering your favorite take-out and dancing to your favorite tunes while you accomplish tasks.

You can even encourage kids to pack some of their own items by making challenges and offering prizes. Creating a fun environment will keep you and your family from getting bored, procrastinating, and eventually increasing stress.

Ask For Professional Help

Trying to undertake a move on your own can lead to far more stress than necessary. However, leaving space in your budget to hire a moving company can help with every element of your move — planning, logistics, packing, loading, unloading, and more.
