Moving - whether it is changing an apartment within the same city or immigration to another country - is not easy. The lack of familiarity, the changing routes you are used to using are all anxiety-provoking, and instead of enjoying your new home, you might feel unhappy. Try to prepare for the move.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a piece of paper and write on it the reasons that prompted you to move. Perhaps in a new place you will live with your loved one, you will have more chances to find a good and highly paid job, or, having been on an excursion once, you simply fell in love with the architecture of the city. Hang the list in a prominent place so that it catches your eye as often as possible, so that you, despite the excitement, do not forget why you are traveling.
Step 2
Find out as much as possible about your new place of residence. If you move to another country, start learning the language, read books about culture or simply fiction in which the locals appear. Take in pictures of the city's views, and mark the sights worth visiting. In the first days in a new place, you will not have to be sad, because you will want to see so many things.
Step 3
Read about the area where you plan to live. Find out what shopping centers, stadiums, fitness clubs, cafes are there. Choose which kindergarten you send your child to, where you go to yoga, which restaurant you will have dinner in, and where to walk your dog. Of course, having arrived, you can change your mind, but you will already have some idea of the infrastructure in the district, and it will no longer seem so alien to you.
Step 4
If you plan to move within the same city, drive to your new place of residence and explore everything around. Explore the shops located near the house, admire the flower garden laid out under the window of your future apartment, find the most convenient way to the bus stop. On your next visit, the area will already be familiar to you.
Step 5
Probably, along with your old place of residence, you will have to leave some people: parents or friends. Make it so that, even when you are in different cities, you can always be in touch with each other. Buy modern smartphones for your parents and, if necessary, teach them how to use them, give your close friends your Skype username. Distance will not be a problem for you, because you can always be in touch with your loved ones.
Step 6
When you move to another city and, moreover, a country, it is difficult to take a lot of things with you. Usually they take only the most necessary things, preferring to buy the missing items afterwards. Set aside some space in your bag for things that will remind you of home. It can be a favorite mug, a dear postcard for you, a statuette brought from a trip. Put it in your new home and you will feel calmer.
