MOVING Out of NYC? 5 Tips For Creating a Stress-Free Home Environment

Whether you’re moving cross-country, overseas, or down the block, moving can be an incredibly stressful experience when not executed correctly. To help unburden your stress, we’ve got two major pieces of advice for you:

(1) Execute your move correctly by choosing Shleppers Moving & Storage for all of your moving needs.

(2) As you unpack, organize, and set up each room, follow the advice below to create a stress-free home environment

Every time you walk in the door, your new home should bring you peace, your items should bring you inspiration and joy, and your atmosphere should promote calm energy. Feng Shui is the age-old art and science of promoting balance and harmony in your life through positive management of your environment. The basic principle behind feng shui is that our environments are reflections of our lives—whether they are positive or negative.

How Do I Feng Shui My Space?

Clutter Should Make You Shudder: Whether you’re unpacking in your new home, or packing up the old, assess each and every object you own. Consider if the object reflects both you and the energy of the environment you seek to create. Ask yourself the following to help with this process: Do I really love this object? Does this object enhance my life? How frequently do I use it, and do I have other just like it that I prefer more? Is it time to let go?

For objects that you’d like to free yourself from, consider giving them away to family or friends, donating them to your local homeless shelter, or selling them either in a yard sale or through a sales channel like eBay!

(2) Color Me Stress-Free: Select colors for each room that promote your intended goal for that space. For instance, choose cool colors like purple, green, blue, or gray for your bedroom. For an at-home workout space, choose red accents to promote physical strength and power. Orange color schemes work great in kitchens, as orange stimulates the physical and the emotional and represents food, warmth, and abundance. You can learn more about the psychology behind color here.

(3) Turn Down the Volume: Decorate your space with heavy curtains, thick area rugs, and hanging wall displays to help insulate your space from outside noise.

(4) Turn Up the Music: Listening to music increases optimism, lowers blood pressure and relaxes muscle tension. Set up some playlists that promote various moods and mindsets that you’ll need to harness throughout your day.

(5) What’s That Smell? Smell is one of the most powerful influencers of mood and memory. Purchase some Jasmine oil to sprinkle on your bed before your nightly slumber. Light those crisp apple scented candles in the kitchen. Choose citrus scents and relaxing lavender to promote mental clarity in your home office. It’s as simple as sticking a scented plugin in the electrical outlet next to your desk!
