Moving is enough to make even the most level-headed people feel overwhelmed. As one of the most stressful events in a person’s life, it only makes sense people feel extra anxious. To help make it all a little less anxiety-inducing, we’re sharing our best advice for how to ease anxiety from moving. Follow these tips for a calmer, less-panicky moving process.
Set a Game Plan
The best way to set yourself up for moving success is to get a solid game plan in place. Figure out what you’re bringing, what you’re getting rid of, how you’ll pack, how you’ll transport everything, and the timeframe you plan to make the move. Get crucial details locked in place so you’ll avoid any day-of surprises. By doing this, you’ll feel ready to conquer when the day of the move rolls around.
Try an App
There are loads of apps available to streamline the moving process. One of our favorites is the Sortly app, which allows users to organize their belongings by room. It’s great for keeping track of everything if you’d rather not write out all of your lists.
It Takes a Village
No matter how much you plan or how many apps you use, moving takes hard work. You shouldn’t have to do it alone. To calm your anxiety from moving, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Friends and family members may be able to step in, but if no one is available, you’re not out of luck. With a few quick clicks, you can find someone on TaskRabbit to assist with your move. The pressure of solo moving will probably only lead to more anxiety, so don’t be afraid to seek help when you need it.
