Preparing a for Less Stressful Move

Let unconquerable gladness dwell.” -Max & Churchill

AFTER WEEKS OF APARTMENT HUNTING, and finding a charming new abode for Bronson’s mom in West Hollywood proper, we’ve started de-cluttering and packing in preparation for Move #1, which will occur in 27 days.  (Bronson’s blogged about the foreclosure and what it means for us).

Moving is the third most stressful life event after death and divorce. As a trainer who knows first hard the deleterious effects of stress on hard-earned lean body mass, I’m all about keeping stress to a minimum when it’s time to change your address.  We’re working with a lady to arrange a rummage sale, playing with the dogs more, and trying to keep a sense of humor about it all.

I’ve used this moving company a few times. The best part are the reusable blue plastic boxes they drop off (with a $300 deposit) and pick up when you’re all done. Another company is doing something similar. How’s that for a green move?

P.S. — If you need to do a little spring cleaning, I can’t recommend Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui Preparing a for Less Stressful Move highly enough. Practical, not mystical, the easy read has helped me really “let go” of possessions and things that were no longer serving me. I’ve probably bought a dozen copies, and invariably always end up giving it away to someone who tells me that it also changed his/her life.

    I read that book “Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui.” Loved it!! The first night after i cleared out the center of my apartment–which in my place is a giant walk in closet–i slept better than i had in months.

    Good luck with the move!

      Thanks Howard – I think the book is one of the rarest/best finds I’ve ever made. It actually makes me EXCITED about clearing clutter.

    Hey Sam,
    I haven’t been getting your newsletters so I went into your website today and saw your article on moving. I’m so sorry you guys have to leave your house that you’ve loved so much but it sounds like you both have the right attitude about leaving and finding someplace that works and feels better for you.

    This economy is so stressful for many people and I know most of us are having to make lifestyle changes in order to get by. Hang in there and know that you’re both in my thoughts.

    PS Steve is doing really well after his surgery and just announced his retirement to the County effective 3-31-09.

    Please keep in touch, love you.
