Another important quality that can help make transition
easier is to BE CLEAR. As you go
through the steps of becoming honest with yourself about what is needed, you
will gradually become more and more clear of what you want and need.
Of course want and need are often closely entwined, but you
can often have both fulfilled! Once you have come to the decision you want
change, continue contemplating. Perhaps you want to journal or make a list of
pros and cons for the different choices you have to make.
Change is often fueled by a need of some kind, or perhaps
you are aware enough to look ahead and plan for the future. No matter the
motivation for your change, you can manage to have both your needs and wants
fulfilled! Set in place your needs, then put in place your wants. They are
usually all possible.
Once you have really decided what is important to you, be
sure to be clear in your communication with others. This is of course important
first with your husband or wife or partner. You will come to a shared decision;
allow this to take as long as it needs to, if you are able. Many decisions are
ones that will affect you for years to come, so do allow each other to be on
the same page before making big changes.
Thereafter, be sure to be clear with others around you.
Family, children, sisters, brothers, etc. They will want to support you however
they can.
Then, be sure to be clear with whomever is involved with
making your move or change happen, be it marketing directors at a retirement
facility or the movers you will be working with.
Simply Change can help you with any part of the actual
process of movement or change. From the time you decide you are making a big
move, you can meet with us, even a year in advance. If you are ready immediately,
please get in touch right away. We offer our free one hour consultation
specifically to help people get a clear picture of what they’re moving process
can look like.
If you have decided you would like the assistance of Simply
Change for downsizing or organization, we have a three hour minimum, and you
can contact us to schedule anytime. We usually recommend having a couple of key
areas to really get set up during that time, and we can also briefly go over
another couple of areas during that time. Most areas of a home can be really
set up in form and function in just a couple of days. We tend to not work more
than about six hours in a day with one client because you will be making many
decisions—so get some rest the night before!
For whatever change it is you are about to make, the more
clear you can be the better—and we will start from wherever you are. We are
here to make it as easy as possible.
And if you are unclear
at this point, we can also start from there!! Like we said, we can help at any
point in the process. We can become
clear together on what will be most beneficial for you! It is a process,
and we are here for that.
