Moving Day is probably one of the most important days of your life, and like all such times a lot of stress is sure to be involved. By being prepared, the level of incidental anxiety can be minimized and a smoother moving process assured. Unfortunately, logic will not trump emotion when it comes to all the many psychological aspects of a move! Indeed, just thinking about all the details associated with moving will prove debilitating for many, creating a sense of disarray.
An important part of the problem is due to the fact that moving usually involves money, as in spending it. Even the least expensive movers will cost a couple of hundred, and only for the most basic of moving jobs, such as those involving no stairs. Even using friends and families to help you will cost at least gasoline and refreshments! Also, let’s face it: we don’t always move up, but sometimes down, and down and out, especially in these hard economic times. So a move will involve much more than the seemingly simple and logical task of physically relocating objects from one place to another.
There are two things of the utmost practical consideration to keep in mind if you should find yourself procrastinating badly when it comes to a move. First of all, never allow yourself to get stuck in the past, lost in revelries over when some item or other was acquired. Of course, a move often represents a new life, and it is natural to want to pay the old one its due respects. Closure is certainly necessary, but the very first rule of a successful move is to avoid memory lane and getting bogged down in sentimentality. Do not simply sit around and daydream, or, even worse, mope and wax yourself melancholy. Save your energy, physical and psychological, for the new life ahead!
The other important thing to keep in mind is never forget to take care of business. This means setting cut-off dates for your utilities, and then remembering to inform your utility companies about them ahead of time! Do not wait until the last minute, lest you miss some kind of billing cycle deadline and wind up paying for service you never even get to use. Also be sure to remember your local post office and provide them with your new address so that they will forward you your mail for a period of time.
Take care of those two considerations and you will have resolved about half of any psychologically debilitating issues involved with your upcoming move. Good luck!
