Moving in: a chance to start over

23 Oct.

A house can be a family's place for many years. In their rooms and corridors we accumulate memories, charming stories. Under their roof we learned to feel safe. However, whatever the reason, sometimes the time comes to move: to find a new place to continue on our path.

Moving, from home or office, does good for the soul and the mind. It does not matter where we are expected, whether outside or in another development within the same city, the simple act of moving will cause profound changes. We must be prepared.

At first the idea of starting life over in a completely new environment may seem threatening, but it is also a way of opening up to new people, of meeting different world views, even of making them part of our daily lives.

So the best we can do is enjoy the change. We could take advantage of this moment to put our minds at ease, to review what we want, to think about those things that are no longer necessary and that we could not get rid of. Why carry that broken chair that we are not going to repair, that monitor that has been obsolete for 15 years, the clothes that we do not wear and we do not even remember where it came from?

You won't find a better time to renew and restart.

In the end, moving is also about preparing to travel new paths, accumulate experiences and get to know new environments and people. It is an opportunity to leave our comfort zone and explore hitherto unknown destinations.

Start again in the sense of taking on new routines and habits, like going to a gym now that we are close by, walking to a park every afternoon, or taking advantage of the fact that the spaces in the new house are not yet assigned and taking a room as a workshop or playroom.

In short, moving allows for a real restart, allows us to leave behind what did not work out and dream of a future, with hope, full of stories to live and memories to create.

Prepare yourself to get in touch with a new world, be open to new experiences and people who will enter your life, even those with whom you will barely have a friendly relationship.
