The psychology of moving is an emerging new science. Research has found that moving can be an emotional burden at times, and it may cause fatigue, short-term depression, and withdrawal from favorite activities. The following are a few tips that may help to reduce the stress and strain of moving.
- As you downsize, contact family and friends for cast off items, donate, or arrange for a profitable disposal of unwanted items
- Keep treasured items if possible
- Take pictures of items that are treasured but too big to take with you
- Arrange your new home using memory placement techniques, such as grouping familiar items in a familiar fashion
- Use way-finding lights in your new home until you are adjusted to your new surroundings
