If you’ve ever moved, you know it’s a huge job. Sorting, packing, organizing and dealing with a mover and other vendors takes large amounts of time and energy. But, what about the emotional challenge of moving? 

To help you make the most of your experience and lower your stress levels, check out some of our most valuable tips for coping with emotions associated with moving: 

1. Acknowledge your feelings and emotions – Allow yourself to feel your emotions, to avoid a breakdown. 
2. Ask for help – Moving is a big deal. Ask friends and family to help you pack and deal with the emotionality of moving. 
3. Be thoughtful as you go through your possessions – Take the time upfront to sort your items and determine whether to save, donate, or toss to avoid any frustrations later. 
4. Take time to really see your surroundings – Your home is full of memories. Take time from your organizing and moving to remember all the important things that happened there.  
5. Look ahead – Take a trip to your new neighborhood or community and visit local spots. Your move is a new opportunity for discovery and growth.  
6. Speak up – During a move, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and be swayed by others’ opinions. Remember to communicate your needs clearly.  
7. Reserve some time for yourself – Make sure that you schedule some down time. Breaks can keep your emotional and physical energy going through the moving process.
