4. Create a word or visual picture of your ideal living space, focusing on what it would like to actually BE there. The actual physical dwelling may not be exactly what you visualized, but individual attributes can still be present: for example, my new home is in a beautifully treed setting with ample light and a view of mountains, several of characteristics that were most important to me.
5. Continue to care for your physical body: get enough rest, take your vitamins and be sure to remain hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
6. Schedule loosely. Create a week by week schedule of moving-related tasks, and be flexible about completing them. Try to tackle large projects early: getting some of “big” things out of way early clears your energies to focus on handling details.
7. Enlist support of friends, relatives and co-workers. Almost everyone knows what it’s like to move; whether it’s upstairs to a different apartment or across country, moving entails extra work and time. Don’t be afraid to ask others for help!
8. Recharge yourself: meditate, sing, dance, walk outside – do whatever it requires to keep you from feeling burned out. Know that investing time in yourself will reap huge rewards in stress-reduction and patience on big day.
9. Focus on big picture: don’t become overwhelmed by detail. It WILL all get packed, moved, and unpacked eventually, so use humor to lighten things up as often as possible.
10. Remember that you are ultimately a beloved, protected, celebrated child of Universe, bestowed with twin powers of free will and deliberately conscious creation. A move can signal momentous changes in your life, so focus your attention and appreciation on your most positive outcome.
Happy Moving!
