I love it! And I’m so glad! As we’re unpacking now, I’m questioning half of the things I thought were worth moving and tempted to just drop the still-packed boxes off at Goodwill, so I could have been even more brutal about letting things go! 🙂

We are getting ready to downsize. Your steps under “When in doubt throw it out” have become our new mantra.

It’s nice to know that others have these same issues when moving or going through other major life changes – I’m not the only one. I also find going for a walk helps to clear the mind too.
Can’t wait to see your new place 🙂

You do have to be careful to have all the trash emptied or they will pack that as well. If that is not an option, I pack one room at a time, label each box with what it contains and what room it needs to end up in. Just don’t pack the wine, bottle opener and a single wine glass 🙂 You can take care of that before the move or take it with you in the car!!

Aw, thank you so much, Jo! I’m right there with you – wondering how in the world everyone else deals with these off-the-chart levels of stress and then realizing that anxiety makes everything a totally different experience! Wishing you nothing but the best in your decision making and possible move!

Thanks Emily! 🙂
I’m SO GLAD moving is finally over! And yes, getting rid of crap is amazingly mind-freeing!

Ahhh! The “Screaming Howler Monkey” – such a stress-busting classic! 😀

Of course! I never miss a chance to let loose my inner Tina Belcher! 😀
Things are definitely much, much less stressful. I’m totally enjoying it right now!
