Regardless of how far a person may be moving, there is a laundry list of tasks and chores to complete before and after the move. Stress is a part of the moving process, in fact, studies have proven that moving can be one of the most stressful (even traumatic) events in someone's life. Those who have uprooted and rebuilt their lives in a new and unfamiliar place will testify to the mental and emotional shock that they experience in the process. Emotions will run high when you leave friends and family behind to establish a new beginning somewhere else. 

Whether the move is across the street or across the country, Prescott Moving Company has helped thousands of people finish their move with as little stress as possible. Here are some tips for establishing a positive mindset and maintaining your sanity during your last days before the move. 

Stay Busy
Stagnant water gathers muck, so is the same for an idle mind. Luckily, there will be plenty of work to do before moving day so be sure to keep yourself busy with tasks to avoid overthinking or deconstructive analysis. Spend time thinking about smaller things you usually do not think about like switching billing addresses, insurance changes, and so forth. 
Pro tip: Keep your home and thoughts organized to make moving that much easier and painless.

Happy Mind, Happy Time
Wherever your thoughts go, your emotions tend to follow. Maintain a positive mental attitude about moving rather than dreading it as the end of the world as you know it. If one can view moving through lens of being able to start new and purge unused items, it can shed a positive rather than a negative light on moving. People who apply positive mental thoughts to a negative situation almost always have a better outcome in their situation. 

Find Reasons to be Excited About Where You are Moving
Leaving friends and familiar places can be the single most haunting thought that people deal with on moving day. Stepping into the unknown to learn a new city with new streets, people, and places may seem daunting. You can take steps to avoid the shock and awe of a new place by doing your research ahead of time. Find out more about the place you are going and find interesting places to visit. Search for the best food in town, the best views, hikes, weather or attractions. Use your research to create an exciting, optimistic outlook about the location where you will be heading. 

Have a Goodbye Party 
Saying goodbye properly will make the sendoff easier as it gives the mind a sense of closure. Have a modest or extravagant goodbye party where you can invite your closest friends and family to celebrate the next chapter in your life. Make plans to come back and visit, if possible. Then, enjoy the time with those you value the most. 

Minimize Unpacking Time
Once you are in the new location, unpack the home as quick as possible. Delaying the sorting and unpacking phase of moving will deter the feeling of normalcy from setting in. If your home is ready for your new life, your mind will follow and you will be able to establish a routine situation. 

Hire a Mover if Needed
Having a team of friends and family to help move your house is great. You can pay them by providing food and drinks and make it a sentimental experience for everyone. However, if you do not have access to a free volunteer team of movers, you may want to consider hiring a crew of men to help expedite the relocation. This will cost money but can be well worth the price if it allows you to keep your sanity. Professional movers will come with all of the necessary equipment to do the job safely and quickly which will save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in wraps, blankets, dollies, and moving truck rental fees.
