Moving to a new house requires a considerable amount of effort and energy. The reward you get is a fresh start and a blank slate- you can design the new place however you want. After putting in all the boxes and preparing to settle in your new home at Faber Residence, here are 5 recommendations to de-stress.
Eat Your Favorite Food
A familiar meal can set the tone for your post-move. It can be comfort food or something you haven’t had for a long time. In addition, good food gives you the energy to finish the tasks before you turn in for the day.
Indulge in a Quick Rest
Take a 15-minute break to refocus and enjoy your new surroundings. You can sit or lie down and take deep breaths for a calming effect. Set a timer or alarm so you won’t accidentally sleep through the rest of the day or night.
Look Out and Admire the View
Views from condo buildings are often breathtaking, so you should take advantage of this. Look out the living room window and see the outdoors.
Listen to Your Favorite Playlist
Pop on your headphones or blast your favorite tracks from a Bluetooth speaker. Listening to music soothes the nerves. You can also play it as background music while unpacking.
Play a Game
It’s okay to play a quick round of an online game from your smartphone or computer. Just make sure that you get back to unpacking the essential items. If it’s an online game, set up your home network or wi-fi first, and don’t forget to put a password.
Watch a Streaming Show or Movie
Streaming shows and movies can be viewed on a smartphone or tablet and offer hours of relaxing entertainment. It’s a great way to relax or unwind after a stressful house move.
