Making the Move Fun

Beltmann Blog

When it comes to moving, “fun” probably isn’t the first word that comes to mind. Maybe “stressful” or “anxiety-ridden,” but usually not “fun.” But we can learn a few lessons from “The Office” and Michael Scott. A little F-U-N can go a long way on moving day, and it breaks up the stress that comes along with most moves. So don’t let the moving blues get you down. Use a few of these fun-inducing strategies when moving to Ft. Lauderdale.

Rock the tunes. A little Stevie Wonder can make your move-in day more like a dance party. Even if you don’t like Stevie, just pick something upbeat and peppy. It helps to keep everyone energetic and in a better mood. Ask the movers or your friends and family what they’d like to hear, and pump up the volume.

Surprise everyone with some good food or snacks. Buying everyone some ice cream or even the usual pizza can lift spirits of anyone who’s worn out from a long day of moving. Even a bowl of candy on the table can be a little pick-me-up.

Reward yourself for a job well done. Moving is hard, and afterward you (and your family or friends) deserve a reward. So try and plan an evening where you can relax and give the unboxing a break for a few hours. Do something goofy like going bowling, or a grab a bottle of wine with your sweetheart and take the night off. Give yourself something to look forward to after a long day of moving.
