Happy Beds conducted a survey of 2,000 people and found out that the average person moves five times in their life and 71% of people have lost a night's sleep over the stress of moving. I personally haven't moved house as an adult but I can imagine that it is an extremely stressful event so hopefully these tips will help anyone who has a stressful event coming up.
Cleaning & DeclutteringI find organising and decluttering to be extremely calming and it helps to take my mind off anything. I definitely agree with the saying about having a clear space leads to a clear mind as when my home office is messier, I tend to be less productive. Cleaning and decluttering is an essential task before moving home anyway so if you find it calming and depressing, as I do, then it's an ideal task before the move.
PamperingPampering is something everyone enjoys, from using a fun Lush bath bomb to watching Netflix with a face mask on. Pampering might also be a great way of using up some of your pampering products and bath bombs so you don't have to move them all to your new home or apartment. For me, pampering is one of the easiest ways to destress and it means that I can try new products I've been sent or it gives me an excuse to use my heavenly bath bombs and candles.
ReadingReading is something I started to get back into in 2017 and since then I've become more and more obsessed. I think my time during college and university when I had to read so many journal articles temporarily ruined my love of reading but now I rarely go a day without reading. Whether it's a fantasy, non-fiction or YA or anything in-between, reading is a fantastic way of escaping real life for a short period of time. Also you could sell some of your books after reading them and put the money towards new homeware or essentials. If you want to know what I'm reading and my ratings, follow me on GoodReads.
Have you moved house? If so, do you have any moving tips or tips to destress?

A good pamper always does me the world of good - can't beat a bath with some aromatherapy oils! xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the final two! You can't go wrong with pampering and reading a good book! I love curling up with a book and listening to relaxing soundtracks! Never tried a bath bomb so maybe that's my next pamper step! Haha!

I always have to have a good soak before an event!
ReplyDeleteI haven'd moved properly, but when I lived in a studio flat during my final year of uni and moving my stuff out of there was like a mini move. It was quite stressful. You're always worried you've missed something! x
