We all know that moving house is a time-consuming and stressful task, but we are here to make it easier. From how to pack, how to load and unload your belongings, all the way up to how to register your change of address and utility services, we’ll be providing you with everything you need regarding moving into a new home.
The colder months have started to slowly trickle all around the United States. During this time, some of us may find ourselves in a seasonal slump. The temperatures drop and the lack of sunlight can really do a number on our mental health and not just ourselves but the rest of our family as well. To help you take care of yourself, and your family members, there are a few self-care tips for the months that many of us might need. Below are a few tips to not only help you through it but also keep you safe in the process.
- Having A Routine In Place: One of the biggest challenges many of us face is having a routine when the weather gets cold. With days off from school for our kids, parties to attend and various errands to run many of us find ourselves waking up and going to sleep at different times every day. This can really ruin your sleep pattern and make you feel your worst instead of your best. Having a lack of routine can also increase your stress and anxiety during the cold months. If you have a set and established routine, this can help you thrive and also regulate an effective sleep pattern to feel your optimal alertness throughout the day. The same goes for your children as well who might still be in school e-learning during this time.
Have A Routine In Place - Leave The House Every Day If Possible: I know many of us don’t feel safe during our global pandemic but leaving the house doesn’t mean you need to go shopping or running errands. A simple walk with your family can be a great adjustment for you and everyone. You can also bring your child with you to the grocery store for a chance of scenery for both of you. If you stay inside in your pajamas all day, you might feel worse than you would if you got yourself dresses, walked around your neighborhood with a friend, or went to a local park with your kids depending on the weather.
- Take Mindful Breaks: If getting outside might be too much for you, especially if you live in a location when the temperature can be under 0 it doesn’t mean you still shouldn’t take a few minutes to refocus. Take a few minutes to breathe deeply while you look out the window. Be mindful of the nature that you see and focus on details such as the leaves, the sizes of the snowfall, the texture of the clouds, or counting the colors you see. Give yourself a moment to be mindful of nature to help reduce your stress. This is also a great exercise that your children can do as well. You could even have them try a scavenger hunt of what they see from the window to write down and share with you at a later time.
Hire Experts - When Moving- Hire Professionals: If you need to move to a new home during the cooler months, do yourself a favor and save your sanity by attempting to do it yourself and call in the professionals. Of course, it can be overwhelming to find the right one but I’d suggest calling Big Deahl Movers. They are one of the friendliest and trustworthy experts who are there to help you move across the stress, town, or state. Some of their services include packing, labor only or even assisting with those heavy safes in Rancho Cucamonga area. You wouldn’t want to hurt yourself by attempting to lift heavy items such as that plus scuff your home up even more moving couches, bed frames, or pool tables.
Big Deahl’s Movers - Expose Yourself To More Light: One of the biggest struggles for self-care is exposing yourself to light. Perhaps think of purchasing a lightbox to install which can expose yourself to bright light in the morning or in the evening. This can help reduce depressions and keeping your shades and blinds open can also add more natural light in the rooms.
Are there any other safety or self-care tips you have for you and your family members when the weather turns colder? There are several other ideas but I think these are the top 5 that many people should consider.
