Approaching the Challenges of Change
If you’re moving to your new Gold Coast Apartment for the exciting transition of a seachange in retirement, it’s great to know that almost everyone shares the same anxieties, concerns and holdbacks as you do.
When it comes down to making the most out of your new lifestyle as an over 55, the key to managing it with finesse and fun has to come down to managing the emotional and physical aspects that best suit your style. We’ve compiled some handy tips to help you get through.
Before you decide to take on our new postcode with abandon, it’s important to know how to link yourself in. One of the best tips we’ve heard is for the social butterflies among us, or those who have goals to get out and meet people in their new arena as soon as possible.
In the months and weeks before your move, be sure to ask your friends and family about their connections and people they know in the area you’re moving to.
Though reaching out to people you’ve never met maybe a little daunting, it’s actually a great way to integrate into your new community and helps you to learn about your new home, along with everything your city has to offer- including the hidden gems!
When we think of self-care, it’s likely we consider eating well and brushing our teeth morning and night- but have you contemplated how important it is to nourish ourselves with the occasional treats that make life enjoyable.?
Be ten steps ahead of yourself and book in for a special treatment like a massage or an evening out to see a show. Do something that is exciting and forms a positive recollection of your first few days on arrival to your new home. We promise it makes all the difference!
Even with a world of suggestions out there that aim at making the moving in and getting settled period seem like a must-do, it’s extremely important to remember that your pace should always set the standard.
You shouldn’t rush if you’re tired, and you should not feel forced to empty boxes or face unpacking if you don’t feel like it. If your style is to go slow, then take it easy! Better yet, employ a fantastic unpacking team and let someone else do the hard work for you!
