There is no doubt about it, moving is stressful. In fact, it has been deemed one of the most stressful things that people can do. If you aren’t careful, you can find yourself completely overwhelmed with the moving process. Luckily, there are some things that you can do to make sure you aren’t falling victim to the stress that is caused by moving. Good Time Moving & Storage is here to share our best tips to help reduce moving stress and make this process an exciting one.
It is Never Too Soon to Start Packing & Planning for Move
If you know that you are going to moving far in advance, start making plans for it far in advance. You don’t want to save this planning process for the last few weeks of your move. Contact the moving company that you would like to work with and get on the books early. It is recommended that you book that at least 8 weeks before your moving day. You can also start to go through your things and purge the items that you are ready to move on from as well. These small things can help you feel prepared and less stressed.
What to Leave Out when Packing to Move
It is important to take care of yourself even if you are in the middle of moving. You will want to make sure your self-care items are left out of the boxes and are accessible. This could include your favorite hobby, things like face masks to rejuvenate your skin, your favorite book or other things you can do to unwind.
Ask for Help when Packing & Moving
If you have friends and family that live close by, don’t be afraid to ask them for help. They are more than likely going to be willing to lend a hand here and there to try and ease your burden. Even if you are asking for help getting your kids to and from certain activities, think of ways that others could possibly help make this move a bit easier on you, and don’t be afraid to ask. If they haven’t offered, it may only be because they don’t know how.
Keep Important Documents Out when Moving
There are more than likely some documents that you are going to need access to. The last thing you want to find yourself doing is digging through boxes for documents that you need during the moving process. Make sure you keep them out and accessible.
Study Your New Neighborhood
Sometimes the unknown can be scary. If you know where you are moving, start to look into your new neighborhood and get a feel for it. You can start to look at places to eat, things to go and do as well as fun outdoor activities that you can enjoy. The more you know about your new place, the less stressed you will be about the move.
