5 Opportunities When Moving to a New Home

Moving homes can be a hectic endeavor where the cons seem to outweigh the pros. We anticipate challenges from the time we start planning to the time we move. Moving costs, time, item breakages and damages, loss of items, the uncertainty of starting a new life, the adjustment of our children and pets...these are all valid reasons to delay a move. 

But moving to a new home doesn't have to have negative implications. Here are some opportunities to make the most of your transition. 

1.   Purge Useless Stuff and Clutter

Over the years, we are prone to collect and keep many things in our homes, some of which are no longer useful. A move forces us to take a close look as we pack each item. Purging and downsizing can be easily sorted into 4 categories: keep, sell, donate, or trash.

2.   Meet New People

Meeting and interacting with new people can be an exciting feat. From new neighbors to new coworkers to new playmates for the kids, these fresh connections can introduce experiencing life from a different perspective.

3.   Discover Adventures

The excitement of moving to a new home, town, or city brings the opportunity to cheer and channel your adventurous spirit. While the change can be difficult at first, it is exciting to explore parks, museums, and outdoor activities seasonal to your new hometown. 

4.   Embrace New Opportunities

There are a variety of reasons why people move. From a career change to more affordable housing, new surroundings bring new opportunities. Acclimating to a different workplace, school, or place of worship is an exciting - albeit intimidating - experience!

5.   Leave Your Comfort Zone

Moving homes gives you time to reflect on what's important to you as you leave your comfort zone away from your friends, neighbors, and family. Life is full of changes and moving homes is one of the biggies. Each time we deviate from our norm, we grow to accept change more easily.
