Moving Stress

Moving is one of life’s big stressors, the pressure starts to mount from the moment you decide to make a move. There are so many things to plan for. Throw in a significant life change like a new job, divorce, death or economic crisis and you have got a substantial in-box to wade through, not to mention the emotional impact on your day to day life.

When looking for professionals to assist with any part of the process rely on credible friend recommendations or use your local Better Business Bureau listings. There are also great resources on line like moving checklist to guide you from what to do 8 weeks before you move right up to moving day.

Most of all, be mindful of taking care of yourself and being organized enough to ease the stress.

 

 

Clutter and Karma

I am reminded about the “Don’t Mess With Karma” commercials for Encorp Return-It depots as I write this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLBZHrWdQB0

Do you leave a trail of clutter wherever you go? Be considerate of the person that may follow your path; break down your cardboard boxes in the recycle bin, return your shopping cart instead of leaving it in the middle of a parking stall, replace the toilet paper, flush…..you get the idea.

Moving Your Dog

Dog experts say depression in dogs is common after a move. Walk your dog through his already accomplished training in and outside your new home; this will give him renewed confidence.
