Most of us do not like change in our life of any kind, let alone a drastic one. Moving is a drastic change in our lives. It signals a new beginning and a brand-new chapter of our lives. While there is hope and promise, there is also some uncertainty and unknown. In this blog post, we will deep deeper into why moving is one of the most stressful things we do in our lives and how to combat the stress.
Attachments
When you live in a certain town or city for a certain amount of time you make attachments. You make attachments to the community, the stores, the restaurants, neighbors etc. You know exactly who you can go to for help and where to get certain food from. You develop relationships with the people and things around you. When you decide to move somewhere else, you can lose accessibility to these attachments, which can lead to stress. When you move somewhere new you have the familiarize yourself again with the community, stores and shops and that takes time. The best thing to do with old attachments when you know your moving is to stay in touch with people you have befriended and visit the area of your new home well before you move in. By Getting a feel for new stores, shop, and people in your new living environment, you will not feel as stressed out about new attachments.
The Packing
Unfortunately, your belongings are not going to move themselves. If only it were that easy. Packing is another major aspect as to why moving is so stressful. Whether you are moving on your own, or with a family, there are a lot of items involved in the moving process. The best way to mitigate the stress when it comes to packing during a move is to get out in front of it. Start packing about a month or two ahead of time. Do not wait for the final week or last few days to get started packing.
Not Asking For Help
Nobody should have to do an entire moving process on their own. That is why family, friends, & professional moving companies exist. Never be afraid to ask people for help during a moving process because moving is overwhelming. When you have people you trust helping you out, you can eliminate the stress.
