1: Why Do People Get Moving Stress?

The simple answer is “the unknown.” We all have a little apprehension about letting go of the control we have over our daily routines. Moving represents a significant break. Once it’s over, you will wake up in a new space. If this gives you pause, keep in mind that you’ll establish new routines quickly.

2: Knowledge Can Help Overcome Moving Anxiety

Knowledge tends to be a powerful elixir when everyday people are worried about the unknown. If you are new to Flagstaff or the neighborhood, conducting an online search of things to do and great eateries may prove helpful. The area offers plenty of outdoor attractions, shopping, history, and culture. By discovering things you enjoy doing locally, you’ll have a go-to list that allows you to plan. Knowledge isn’t just power. It’s also peace of mind.

3: Get Rid of Excess Stuff

Moving a ton of items that you hardly use can be cumbersome and unnecessary. Consider getting rid of some of them to lighten the load. Make a little cash by selling old junk. Turn cool items you’re willing to part with into gifts. Valuable heirlooms may be welcome by family members and loved ones. And if you have bulky furniture you aren't going to use but are not ready to part with — just yet — self-storage tends to be a reasonable way to house items.

4: Moving Day Organization Helps Ease Stress

By boxing and labeling your belongings in advance, transitioning can be more seamless. For example, labeling where each item goes in your great new space minimizes unpacking times. One mental health trick some people leverage has to do with morning-after items. Have that coffee pot or breakfast ready to go and you can start your first day feeling more comfortable.
