A Positively Moving Experience
Moving Stress Reduction Tips
Moving can be a stressful experience, with the huge range of moving parts and variables, it always helps to leave your move in the hands of moving experts like the team here at Noah’s Ark Moving & Storage. In this blog entry, our expert moving technicians will provide some fantastic tips to help you stay stress-free during your residential or commercial move.
Bring Snacks
It’s a great idea to bring snacks to eat periodically during your move. Skipping meals, as it’s easy to do this during the stress and mental whirlwind of moving, can actually severly raise your cortisol and stress levels. Since you might not feel like dealing with preparing or finding a full meal, having snacks on hand is an absolute must.
Keep your Eyes on the Prize
Keep a mental image of how you will feel when your move is completed in your mind. Imagine how your new property will look when everything is unpacked and enjoying the new space with your friends and family.
Rely on Professional Moving Teams
By working with a professional moving team, like those here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage, you can reduce your anxiety associated with tackling all the affairs of your moving. Our team can handle all packing, loading, transportation, unpacking, and storage services!
Let your Movers Know any Issues
Tell your movers if you have any issues with how your belongings are being transported. They will work with you to tackle any concerns and ensure that your moving process will be pleasant. This assurance greatly reduces the stress associated with the unknowns of moving.
Holding Space for your Old Home
We recommend engaging in some type of ritual or activity to say goodbye to your old home to make the transition easier. Share memories from your old home, have a drink with family members, take some pictures, or simply bond and literally say goodbye verbally to the home – these tactics especially work with small children who need some sense of psychological closure and boundaries during periods of transition.
