Introduction

Most people have to move at least one time in their lives. This is an event which takes a tremendous amount of planning, organizing, and decision-making. Many of us consider moving to be one of the most stressful life events we have to go through.

In fact, one poll found that many people think moving is more stressful than getting a divorce. It’s a major life change, and it goes along with a lot of small details you have to get right.

There are a number of reasons why moving is so anxiety-provoking.

How to Deal with Moving Anxiety

Why is Moving Stressful?

Moving has more than one aspect to it – there’s the day of the move itself, and then there’s all of the planning leading up to it.

This can involve picking out a new home, packing up your belongings, moving all the bills to your new home, changing addresses, and dealing with children and their feelings about moving, to give some examples.

Here are the main reasons moving is so difficult:

It’s a Major Change

Most moves entail a big change. You’re going to a new, unfamiliar home and perhaps a different neighborhood. Other changes go along with this like new schools for the kids, and leaving people you like seeing every day.

This type of uncertainty leads to a lot of stress which can even manifest physically with headaches, stomach aches, or other symptoms.

It Costs Money

Moving is an extremely expensive endeavor most of the time. There can be estate agent fees, fees for movers, and purchasing new furniture and/or appliances.

There may be unexpected payments that crop up, like for repairs. Moving often brings up a lot of financial stress.

It’s Time-Consuming

Starting from searching for a new home to packing up one home and unpacking at another, moving is very time-consuming.

It takes a lot of planning and there are money details. Most people find it very stressful to take time out of their lives to plan a move.

How to Cope with Your Moving Stress

If your stress level becomes too high you should talk to your doctor. However, if you simply need some tips for managing a moderate level of stress, here are some suggestions:

Make Arrangements Way in Advance

If you want to lower your stress level, make all of the important calls in advance. Transfer the hydro bill, send out a change of address email, fill out a card at the post office. Arrange the details with your mover in advance.

Get Rid of and Donate Things

Take moving as an opportunity to go through your things and get rid of or give away things you don’t need. It’s a wonderful feeling to lighten your load, and it means less to move to your new place.

Be Very Organized

If you’re organized this will save you a lot of anxiety. Number every single box and keep a list with you of what’s in each box. Both prior to and on moving day have a list of everything that needs to get done.

Remember the Positive Aspects

Instead of focusing on the stressful aspects of the move, look to the positive – a new home, a new future, new people to meet – there are so many exciting aspects of moving.

The Final Word

One of the best things you can do to make your move easier is to hire a good moving service like Ferguson Moving & Storage to take care of a lot of the time-consuming details.
