There is something slightly destablizing about "dismounting" your home while still living in it. I find myself mindlessly opening the cupboards where certain things usually were but that have migrated to a box in preparation for D-day, and then wondering how I could be so dumb not to remember.
This just goes to show how attached we get to our habits. Which is probably the best thing about moving. It forces you to reevaluate so much! Habits, ways of using your time, even the way you think about life! And that's always a good exercise.
So yes, changing homes may well be one of the top 5 most stressful things in life, but some of that stress is of the good kind. Because it forces you to shake out of it, to look at yourself and your life from a fresh perspective. And hopefully all this soul searching will help you reconnect with yourself: your hopes, desires, and priorities, but also to be able to examine your fears and inadequacies in a new light. All part of a very important learning process that should never stop.
So here's to finding oneself, adrift among a truckload's worth of memories and experience!
