Stress, Anxiety Moving to A New City

We Can Help You Manage the Stress and Anxiety Around Moving

Here’s How to Ease Your Stress When Relocating

Moving can be an exciting life change, but it can also bring about unpleasant feelings of stress and anxiety. In addition, adjusting to a new place and people can be challenging. Denver, in particular, has become a popular destination for people to move to. With the mountains nearby and plenty of sunny days, it’s easy to see why. But, of course, moving, even to a beautiful place like Denver, comes with struggles.

Today, we will discuss managing stress and anxiety after moving to a new city and how we can help at SOL Mental Health.

Do Your Research

If you are in the planning phase, research the city you are moving to. This can help you determine which specific area may suit you, what types of activities your new city offers, which medical providers you may need, and learn other information that will make your move smoother. Even if you’ve already moved, researching your new city can aid in learning more about your new home and how you can more easily adjust to life there. You can even look into organized recreational groups, which tend to be a great way to meet new people and stay active.

Aim for Positivity

While it’s essential to process your emotions, even the unpleasant ones, try to have a positive outlook about your move. Frame this new life change with excitement and think about what you’re most looking forward to experiencing in your new home. A positive mindset has the potential to be incredibly powerful. You can start each morning by setting positive intentions for the day ahead.

Maintain Relationships

Moving away from close friends and family is difficult, but the distance doesn’t mean you have to neglect these relationships. The people you hold close should want to be there for you, as you will want to be there for them. Maintaining something that has provided a sense of stability and joy for you may make your move less overwhelming. You’ll likely be busy during and after a move, but finding time to text a friend can be very comforting.

Make Time for Self Care

Moving to a new city can create a hectic schedule at first, but it’s essential to make time for the things that make you happy. You can pamper yourself with a face mask, read a book, or go for a walk. Whatever it may be, when you show yourself love and treat yourself to an activity that brings you joy, it can help you cope with the stress around your move.

Seek Therapy

There are many reasons why people seek therapy, and the stresses associated with moving can be one of them. At SOL Mental Health, we provide various mental health services to the Denver community. Group therapy and virtual treatment options are just a few examples of our services in Denver.

Moving may bring mixed emotions, such as excitement and stress, and we want to help you to manage themmore easily. If you have recently moved to Denver and want to manage your anxiety better, contact us today. As always, we are happy to help you improve your mental health!
