Here are a few tips you can use to reduce the stress and anxiety that comes with moving:
Realize that moving is an opportunity - to experience new things, meet new people, and see other parts of the world. If you are moving to a different country, you may end up learning all about a new and exciting culture and language. Moving to a completely different place - from a small town to a large city, or vice-versa, allows us to taste a different lifestyle. New is exciting.You are starting with a blank slate - all the errors you've made and bad reputations you may have are gone. Moving is the start of a new chapter in your life, one which you can write at your will. You may be worried because you don't know anyone, but this actually will prove to be an advantage, which brings me to the next point:People will notice you - whether at school, at work, or in the neighborhood, the newcomer will always get everyone's interest. This may allow you to do a variety of things, including making many new friends attracting the opposite sex, or getting away with things simply by feigning ignorance.Your true friends will not disappear - keeping in touch today has never been easier. With Voice Over IP (Skype, Vonage, etc), video chatting, and social media networks, it is easy to communicate and stay up today with your friends, whether they live in China or Sweden. Despite having lost touch for over 6 years, I reconnected and still keep in touch with a very good friend I haven't seen since 5th grade! Moving back is often an option - Such a big life change may seem intimidating because we don't know how things may turn out. Moving, unlike many life changes, is often reversible. If after much time and thinking you realize that you would rather live where you did before, you can always trace back your steps.
