3 Ways to De-Stress During a Long Distance Move

Is your long distance move stressing you out? It’s time to de-stress with these 3 simple tips.

Long distance moves can be exhausting, overwhelming, and absolutely stressful. There are so many factors to consider, so many calls to make, and far too many boxes to pack. Instead of jumping to the next moving task, let’s take a moment to talk about self-care. Your move will not be as successful as it can be if you are one big ball of stress. Here are three ways you can de-stress during your move:

#1: Step Away from the Boxes

You simply can’t spend every available moment packing and planning for your packing. You will burn-out fast. Instead, step away from the boxes and take a walk or call up a friend for coffee. It can be a short time away, but even 30 minutes is going to help you to bring your stress level down and give you time away so you can refocus.

#2: Go to a Movie or Read a Book

The idea here is escapism: the art of distracting yourself. It can be done in a healthy way. By taking some time to watch a movie or read, you allow yourself the ability to escape into a different realm where boxes and packing tape and checklists aren’t on your brain.

#3: Let Someone Else Worry about the Long Distance Move
