MILITARY DITY MOVING TIPS – KEEP YOUR SANITY:
· Julia Cregar shared a great tip with me – “Moving brings out the worst in all of us.” If you and yoru spouse are yelling at each out over the stress, “Stop what you are doing and pray together and remind yourselves that your marriage is stronger than this move.”
· Don’t neglect caring for yourself. Moving is stressful whether you do it with military contracted movers or yourself. Plan some breaks for visiting with friends before you say goodbye. Get some encouragement from friends who you will know will lift you up. Spend some time in the Word of God to renew your mind and help keep your perspective grounded. Make sure to get sleep – moving exhaustion breeds marital fights and mommy “losing it” with the kids.
