The good thing about “right here and right now” is that you have the power to change the direction of your life in a positive way. No matter where you find yourself in life, it is never too late to change what you don’t like and make this life yours. Moving house isn’t just about changing scenes. It can also mean putting the past behind you and directing yourself into a bright new future.
Out with the Old
There is no sense in moving items you never intend on using. Those items will just weigh you and the moving truck down. Just like putting the past behind you, actively decide which items you are going to do without in the new place. This would be a good time to have a yard sale or host a “going away” party with all your friends, neighbors and loved ones. You can give your old things as sentimental gifts to the people you love. If you need extra money, having a sale is a good idea. It’s cleansing and refreshing to let go of old things and make way for the new.
Planning Ahead
Your life needs to be organised as you desire. Now is a good time to organise your things for the move. Before you begin packing up, take time to organise your current home. It can seem counterintuitive because you’re going to move anyway. However, organising each room will put the right items in the right places for when you pack. This method of packing automatically sets up the new home for your organised lifestyle. You want to start off in the new home with the right attitude and not being frustrated about where you’re going to put everything.
The Essentials
At the very least, you will need boxes, tape and a marker. If you have enough curtains, table cloths, towels and linens available, you might get by without other forms of padding; however, if you are moving a long distance, it is well worth it to look into different padding options. Cylindrical tubes are excellent for keeping posters in tip-top shape. Don’t be shy in asking for help with packing. Packing is an art form, and it can take some dedication to packing things in a way that will keep them intact.
Gearing Up
Allow the moving company to load up your possessions, and take some time for yourself. Conroy Removals will carefully and efficiently load up your belongings so that you can take care of other matters. One of the beautiful things about moving is dreaming of a new life. Take time to go visit your new neighborhood. Stroll down the street. Visit the nearby delis, post office, supermarkets and other places of interest. Begin planning your schedule to include the places you love to frequent.
Realisation
Unpack all of your items in your new place. Decide where to put things based upon what will make you relaxed and happy. For instance, if you particularly love coffee in the morning, now is a good time to carve out a favorite place to have your coffee. You could design shelves of books surrounding a comfy chair or enjoy the outside world in a padded bay window. Have fun with this.
Live Well
Now that you’re in your new place and have things laid out as you desire, it’s time to live out what you have always dreamed of doing. After you have realised what you want, include the things you love in day to day life. Thank yourself for daring to dream and taking a chance on that dream. Remember that life is what you make it.
Don’t Stress
Moving can require a lot of strategic planning in order to guarantee success. Utilities have to be turned off on-time at the old residence to avoid being overcharged. Utilities at the new place have to be turned on at the right time, which means someone has to be in the new home to have them turned on. This also requires planning. Apartment inspections need to be done before moving out and after everything has been packed and cleaned. With everything that needs to be performed efficiently, it’s important that items arrive on-time, as well, to guarantee a smooth transition from the old home to the new one. This is what makes a moving company such an invaluable resource.
Choosing to move can be rewarding. Even if you “have to” move, don’t be afraid to take advantage of this change. Rely on Conroy Removals for all your packing, moving, loading and unloading needs. The Conroy team is ready to answer all of your questions and address your concerns.
