Are you aware that home removals stress can be almost as stressful as getting a divorce? That is indeed the case, according to a study reported by the Daily Telegraph. One-third of Australians consider moving to be one of their biggest stressors, according to the paper.
A team of expert removalists at City Removalists, one of Sydney's best-known removal companies, says it doesn't have to be that way. Moving can be made easier with a few easy steps.
According to removalists, stress is caused by the way people approach the moving process. Moving house can be made into an adventure, not a dreaded chore, if you reframe the approach. Moving can be stressful, so here are some tips to help you cope.
1. Move as if it were a holiday
The beach or another favourite vacation spot is a highlight of every year for you. How many times have you fantasized about moving there? Rather than treating your upcoming move like a scary experience, think of it as a holiday, especially when it is a long distance interstate removal, imagine that far away land being your ultimate getaway.
If you are moving to a new area, research the area's attractions and plan to visit them. Rather than feeling dread, you'll feel anticipation.
2. It's not all up to her
One-half of the men surveyed considered moving to be stressful, compared to two-thirds of women. Men fail to share the burden of decluttering, packing, and choosing a removalist when they're married. Start sharing the load today we're not in the 20th century anymore.
Set a date to clear out your clutter and grab some takeaway. You can recall many memories when sorting through photos and mementos in your belongings.
When you've pared down your collection, have the removalists pack it for you. The time you save can be used to treat yourselves to a couples' spa day.
3. Make sure you hire movers who take special care of your valuables
Worry about damage to the most treasured possessions was cited as the top stressor by respondents. You won't have to worry about that if you hire a removalist with specialized services for delicate and valuable items.
4. Visit Your Former Neighbourhood Often
It is difficult to leave friends and loved ones behind when you move house. Return trips will help you stay in touch with these treasured friends even if you move away from them permanently.
5. Reducing the Stress of Moving House by Hiring a Removalist
Rather than look forward to moving day, Australians dread the preparations that precede it. Australians hire only one mover out of every twenty, according to a Telegraph study. There will be a cost associated with this. Hiring a professional will save you a lot more money than DIYing a move.
These five tips can help you make moving house a fun, exciting adventure. Get in touch with City Removalists today if you're searching for a removalist that will take the stress out of moving, especially if you are looking for a removalist in Penrith, please call us on 1300 441 331.
