There are so many practical things to consider when you are moving to a new country or state. Here are just a few:

Housing: Selling a home, renting out a home, finding a home to buy or rent.

Schooling: Finding a new school for children

Packing: Packing up the home

Travel: Arranging flights or other modes of travel

Bills: Contacting companies to organise electricity, phone, gas, water etc.

All of these practical things can cause a strain on your emotional wellbeing if you feel that they are stressful or overwhelming. One way to avoid this emotional stress is too give some of these jobs to others. Can you find a property agent who can help you find a home before you move? Can you afford to have someone to pack up you home for you? Can you hire someone for a couple of hours to make some of your phone calls, write letters and organize travel? Can a family member help you research schools in the area you will be moving to?
