Moving house can be incredibly challenging, but there are things you can do to help to keep stress and anxiety to a minimum.
Life coach Sam Lister and property company Quick Move Now have teamed up to offer their top tips to help manage the stress of moving house.
1. Focus On Self-care & Remember
The Basics.
In stressful situations, when routine is often difficult to maintain, it can be easy to forget the simple steps that help to maintain physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Sleep is vitally important when it comes to managing stress, as is healthy eating. Ensuring your body is well-rested and well-fuelled will undeniably make a difference to how well you cope with the busyness and uncertainty of a house move.
2. Be Proactive & Plan What You Can.
Not only will checklists help to reduce stress by organising your thoughts, it will also give you a sense of satisfaction as you tick things off.
3. Keep Focused On The Task At Hand
& Remain Present.
It can be easy for anxiety to take hold and to get lost in an endless maze of ‘what ifs’.
When you feel your stress levels rising, a few sets of simple breathing exercises can help you to focus on the present and calm your nerves.
4. Talk It Through.
Talking helps in a couple of different ways. Firstly, for those who are external processors, it will help to clarify your thoughts.
Talking also helps by gaining others’ thoughts on the matter and helping you to see the situation in a more balanced manner.
5. Remember Why You’re Moving.
Moving house is a process with a finite end point, but when you’re in the middle of it, it can often feel never-ending.
Remaining focused on the reason for the move and what life will look like once the move is complete can help to keep the stress in perspective and limit its impact on other areas of your life.
Sam Lister says: "Moving house is a major life event that can be both intense and hugely stressful. When you move house there is a huge amount to do. Our simple tips will help to organise both your thoughts and tasks, helping to minimise stress and keep anxiety at bay."
