Why Moving Is So Emotional

Careful, Fast & Courteous

Moving is an unavoidable fact of life, yet it can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences one can go through. While the excitement of a new home or a new city can bring with it the promise of adventure, it can also be heavily laden with sadness, anxiety, and even a bit of fear.

Starting a new chapter isn’t exactly easy

For many, moving represents the breaking of ties and the end of a chapter, whether it be in a relationship, at a job or simply leaving the home where one grew up. It can bring up a whole host of emotions – both good and not-so-great. Of course, it can be a reminder of all that has been and all that is yet to come.

The moving process alone can be a wellspring of emotion

Moving is often filled with decisions and paperwork, making it difficult to process the full weight of the emotions that come with it. Really, it’s hard to have time to sit with the feelings of leaving and saying goodbye to the people and places that one has known and been comfortable with when there is so much to do.

Saying goodbye to belongings can be difficult

The struggle of moving is often exacerbated by the fact that one cannot take everything with them. Regardless of whether the move is voluntary or not, the process of deciding what to leave behind and what to take can be overwhelming. Even for those who don’t consider themselves sentimental, there’s likely to be a bit of nostalgia attached to these items which might be hard to contend with.

How to navigate when moving is emotional

The emotions of moving can be difficult to navigate, and it is important to give yourself the space and time to process them. Taking a moment to appreciate the present, and to remember all of the good things that the move can bring, can help to ease some of the stress.

Ultimately, the emotional roller coaster of moving is just part of the process. One can look upon it as an opportunity to start anew and embrace the adventure of a new beginning.
