When moving to a new home, for some people, this is an emotional experience that they look forward to. They are looking forward to a new neighborhood, finding a new favorite restaurant, meeting new people, and the like. For other people, it is these exact things that make them worry over this move. They worry about losing their current friends, they worry about not enjoying the new neighborhood, and the list goes on. What this shows is that there are tons of emotions involved with a move.

Whether you are happy about this move, angry that you are having to move, or just sad...having these emotions is something that is completely normal. Adults and children, both experience emotions involved with a move. The key to helping you through this is learning how to deal with all the emotions that you may be having!

5 Tips for Dealing with Emotions Involved with a Move

1. As parents, be sure that you are preparing your kids for this move.

You can do this in a variety of ways. But, the main point is to remember that you must talk with your kids about this move. And if you are having a difficult time, you will find that there are tons of books written for kids all about moving that can be great to have on hand.

2. Hire professionals to handle your move.

This is just one way that you can get a handle on the emotions that you are feeling. When you hire the professionals at American Moving you will find that this can take away one emotion that you may be feeling...the dreaded stress that is often associated with moving! There is a reason that moving is one of the top three events in a person’s life that causes stress and we can help to mitigate these feelings.

3. Take some time to enter into a calm peace of mind.

How can you do this? Take some “me” time, relax, and practice some of the mindfulness tips out there that are well known for helping you to deal with anxiety, depression, stress, and much more.

4. Remember why you are moving.

This is probably one of the biggest ways in which you can deal with the emotions involved with a move. You need to remember why are moving in the first place. This is something that you can keep in mind since it can motivate you to dig through the moving experience and get to where you need to be.

5. Planning is essential with a move.

While we often talk about how planning a move is essential, you need to not only make sure that you are planning this early for your own peace of mind but to also help deal with the emotions of this move. The more you plan, the less stress that you have, which gives you time to deal with the other emotions associated with this move. And you will find that when everything is planned to run smoothly, this can help lessen anxiety.

For those who know they will be moving, it is never too early to start planning. And a big part of the planning process is to find the right professional movers to handle your move. The professionals to choose are American Moving!

Top 10 Methods To Make Your Move Less Stressful

1. Get professional help.

This is the best tip to help you lower your stress level when it comes time to move. Here at American Moving, not only can we handle the physical moving of your items to your new home, but we have full-service professional packers that can also come into your home and pack this up, ready to go. We take away all the hard work that is associated with moving, which greatly lowers your stress!

2. Have an organized moving plan.

Having a moving plan that outlines what you need to do, what needs to be packed, items to be donated, and other items ensures that you are more organized. No one wants to feel like they are running from here to there and not getting anything done...a moving plan ensures you have a plan of attack.

3. Design room-by-room checklists for moving.

Once you have your moving plan, take this plan and create checklists for each room. This will give you something tangible to check off and keep you on target for your moving date.

4. Don’t forget to take some downtime.

There is nothing worse than feeling as though you have to be packing on the hours that you are not working or doing something else. This can lead to burnout that is going to lead to even more stress. Factor in some downtime, even if this is nothing more than ordering dinner on nights that you are packing!

5. Make sure that you are getting plenty of sleep.

It can be tempting to work until the early hours of the morning, sleep for a few hours, and get back to it. But, this increases your stress level and can lead to tons of accidents and injuries. Sleep is not something that you need to sacrifice when you are moving.

6. Consider moving on an unpopular day.

How will this help your stress? Unpopular moving days are often going to give you more affordable rates and let’s face it, part of the stress of moving is the expense that comes with doing this.

7. Create a labeling system for your goods.

Labeling properly takes more time when packing, but it is a must-do for your move! Take the extra time to label these boxes so that when you unpack, your stress levels are not going to skyrocket.

8. Use packing hacks out there to make things easier.

If you google packing hacks, you are going to find tons of things to consider. These are hacks meant to make it easier to pack your items and lower your stress. And if you don’t want to take the time to search these hacks yourself, then be sure to follow us on social media for tips and hacks that you can use!

9. Be prepared for what moving entails.

One of the best ways to make your move less stressful, you are going to find that if you are prepared for what moving will entail, you will handle it better. You need to accept that weather could be an issue, that without proper planning, the move is going to be less than great. Basically, have a sit down with yourself, and get your mind in the right position.

10. Start small.

When you are packing up your home for a move and have opted to do this on your own, then start small. This is a great tip that is going to help you keep your patience and help to manage your expectations.

When you think of moving, the term “fun” often doesn’t come to mind. However, there are tons of facts about moving that often surprise people. So, for a little entertainment, be sure to check out these fun facts about moving!

1. How long does a move take? The average move takes over 6 hours! This makes sense as it takes time to pack your belongings, and then time for your professional movers to move these items onto the moving truck and take this to your new home.

2. Moving is considered one of the most stressful events in a person’s life. It is even ranked higher than the death of a loved one or getting fired from your employment. This means that moving is super stressful!

3. The number one reason for moving is to relocate for family reasons. This may mean the addition of a new family member or even being closer to certain family members.

4. What is the most popular day to move? Friday! This day is often the end of the workweek, giving you the entire weekend to get your new home in order, so it makes sense that Friday is the most popular day to move.

5. Fun fact, a lot of moves, around 46% of these, are going to be those who are staying in the same county as they are in, just moving into a larger home or a new neighborhood.

6. The average American is going to move around 11 times in their lifetime! Do you fit into this category?

While these are some great fun facts about moving, when it comes to the actual move, it is normal to feel some trepidation, anxiety, and stress from this move. After all, it is one of the top stressors that a person can deal with. The key to managing this is to work with the right professionals. American Moving are those professionals to work with! Whether you decide to move on a Friday or a Monday, during the busy season or not, 25 miles down the road or across the state, we can get it done for you!

It is that time of year again, and many people are moving in the Fall! Leaves are starting to turn yellow, red, and orange. Shops are serving Pumpkin Spice everything! We see people walking around with light jackets on, and in the mornings sometimes we can feel the crispness in the air. Fall is right around the corner. Many people view September 1^st as the start of Fall, while others use the astronomical start of Fall as September 22^nd. Either way, if you have a move planned in the upcoming couple of months, these tips are for you!

3 Tips for Moving in the Fall

1. Make it safer for the professional movers and yourself by ensuring that leaves are not scattered everywhere. You will find that wet leaves on walkways can be a recipe for disaster! They become slick and often when moving can cause falls. Plus, do you want wet leaves tracked throughout your home? No! Instead, be sure that these are raked up and off of the walkway.
2. Be prepared with weather-related items on hand. For example, have a broom ready to go if the wind kicks up and all those leaves start to come into your home or pile up on the walkways. Keep old towels or plastic ready to put onto the floor in case it starts to rain, the same can be said for keeping an umbrella close as well!
3. Dress appropriately. When Fall strikes, the weather can be anything from a mild summer day to a wet and cold day. You need to dress in a way that will allow for it all. Light layers are a great option so you can always remove a layer if you get too warm, then add the layer back when you get cold. When moving in the Fall, light layers are the key to comfort!
