The most essential thing to remember when moving is that stress comes from a few sources; not knowing what you are doing, spending money, and things being difficult or going wrong. You can reduce the likelihood of any of these things cropping up by simply planning better and keeping an eye out for when you are getting a little worked up. Having a way to assess how stressed you are is essential, as it will mean that you can remove yourself from situations that you are no longer being helpful in. Stress is seriously bad for you, and it makes people decide badly on things, which is only going to lead to more stress and panic as you attempt to rectify the things that you messed up in the first place!For a start, giving yourself enough time to get everything done is going to help you hugely! You will no doubt be able to get planning as soon as you know the date on which you will be moving, so why not get going as soon as possible? Planning early will mean that you can survey the amount of things that you need to get done before the move, and ensure that there is nothing that is going to be left out. In this situation, you will have preferably left yourself enough time that you can effectively plan out a time table that sees you doing only an hour or two of work on the move every day, which will reduce your stress considerably, and mean that you don’t have to miss any work days. If you leave it until later, then the power of the unknown quantity of work left to get done can be quite scary, and you will no doubt get a little worried as to whether you have enough time to do it all in. There is a great deal of help that can be had from simply planning well, giving yourself some time and a little room to breather in, and ensuring that nothing is missed out whatsoever. The planning stages can also be used to work out clever ways of reducing the time and costs of things. You may have ulterior ways of looking at certain things that need to be done, and in these ways can get things moving in a different respect, saving you cash or time. Both of these things will reduce how panicked you are by it all, and will have you feeling a lot calmer throughout the move. In fact, saving money is possibly the biggest reliever of stress that there is out there!Have a way of getting away from everything should it all get a bit much. Ensure that you have a technique for removing yourself from a situation should you feel overworked or panicked, so that you can relax a little. Taking five minutes or so to watch some TV, make a cup of tea, or stick your nose in to a book can help things massively when it comes to feeling a little highly strung by it all. You will be able to reduce your heart rate, blood pressure and general well being by simply extracting yourself from whatever it is that is making you feel this way. Being tired and cranky from stress can make you a difficult person to work with, so always remember yourself, and ensure that you are not jeopardizing the move, nor your relationships with people, simply because you are too involved in your removal!
