If you were to ask someone who has never moved, they would probably think that moving isn’t that big of a task. However, many people rank moving stress right there with doing their taxes, death of a family member and other dramatic events. Why is moving so stressful? There are several factors that make moving stressful. For example:

-  It could mean living the town that you grew up in and know everyone at

-  Many people experience anxiety as this is a new change in their life, especially if they do not deal well with change

-  There are times that a move is not really what the person wanted, but due to work or other circumstances they must move

-  It puts a strain on those relationships that you are leaving

The list goes on! While moving may be stressful, here are a few tips that can help you cope!

1.  Have the right attitude! While you may not want to move, do not approach this as though you are counting down to Doom Day. Try to have the right attitude and look at this as an adventure that you are taking.

2.  Be sure that you are researching your new area, this is going to give you more peace of mind about where you are moving to.

3.  Make plans to see those dear friends that you are leaving behind in the future. This way, you know that you are not going to lose touch with them. And remember, thanks to social media, it is easier than ever to keep in touch with old friends!

4.  Introduce yourself to those in the neighborhood so that you can start establishing new relationships at your new location.

5.  Be sure that you are planning your move! Tons of stress comes from the fact that many people wait until the last minute to plan their move, and numerous issues can arise when you do not take the time to plan properly.
