5 Ways To Keep Your Sense Of Humor When Moving
Even if you're moving to a new city or country, you don't have to lose your sense of humor. Here are five ways to keep it with you during your move.
Every Move Needs A Jester. It May As Well Be You.
Your neighbors are giving you dirty looks, your kids think you're the worst parent ever, and it's up to you to make everyone see that moving can be fun! This is an adventure! "Lucky you!" I'd yell after my kids, ignoring the daggers coming from their eyes.
When the going gets tough and your kids are teetering on the edge of a breakdown, being able to laugh is key. If you can set the example and find humor in things like lost shoe boxes and conditioner explosions, your whole family will be better off.
Hang With The Happy People
A positive attitude and a good sense of humor are key when going through a move. Be careful who you surround yourself with during this time. Stay away from people with negative attitudes, neighbors who get emotional every time you talk about your moving date, and anyone without a sense of humor.
Make sure farewells and going-away parties are positive events, and if anyone starts to dwell on all the things you’ll miss, burst his or her bubble.
The Law Of Opposites: Because If You Don’t Laugh, You’ll Cry
I experienced several unmanageable moves in my life, so I created the Law of Opposites. According to this completely made-up rule, whenever a move became more stressful, I would intentionally become goofier. So, when Comcast told me they needed a 72-hour window to get us nine channels (I mean seriously?), instead of flipping out, I forced myself to laugh. If you can laugh during your most difficult moments, you'll make it through unscathed and eventually be able to watch your favorite sitcom again.
Mantras And Maxims
Those who need a jolt of inspiration during a move should take tips from athletes by finding cartoons, funny YouTube videos, quotes, and anything else that will lift their spirits and improve their mood. Keep a reminder on your desktop or put a sign on your nightstand or headboard to remind yourself that “this too shall pass” and “we'll laugh about this someday.”
The Old Standby: Picture Everyone Naked
This tip works for public speaking anxiety and it could work for stress related to moving too.
