Mitigate the Stress of Moving
by Kevin Smith AuthorMoving is one of the most stressful events
in a person's life. It's been proven scientifically. Uprooting your life and
creating a whole new one can have devastating effects on your support system.
The good news is that you will be able to build a new support system wherever
you go. It'll just take some time. There are some things you can do to help
mitigate the stress of moving. Here are some tips.
Integrate Early
Depending on how far you are going, you may
be able to integrate into your new community before you make your move. Finding
a group that meets once a week or month can help you find friends more quickly.
If you are a member of a church, switch to a church in the area even before you
move your home goods. Author groups or other work-related opportunities also
exist. Kiwanis and Rotary often have local meetings that are great for making
friends and networking. If you can find a group that fits your interests and
show up every week, you can build a support network pretty quickly.
Be Organized
Some people will throw their things in a
box without labeling and with no particular order. This creates more stress
because you may worry about items being broken. Worse, chances are that you
will be too busy when you arrive at your new home to go through each box. You
won't be able to find the things you need immediately and may have to purchase
them or spend a lot of time hunting them down. Packing in an organized fashion
will make all of your items easier to find, and that will make your transition
easier.
Hire Someone
A good moving
company in Virginia Beach, VA, can
help take a lot of the pressure off your shoulders. They can pack your items,
put them in a vehicle that will hold them all, bring them to your new residence
and unpack your items! Because they do this for a living, they are efficient.
They also have the proper insurance in case one of them gets hurt on the job.
They will get the job done quickly and safely. All you'll have to worry about
is making sure that you have a smooth transition to your new living space.
That'll make your move much easier, and help you develop good feelings
immediately about your choice.
