some serious organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many years ago I had a job that involved moving every 4 or 5 months to various parts of the country, from Newcastle in the north down to Plymouth in the south, from London across to Newport in Wales, and various points in between over 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You soon get to learn some serious packing and moving hacks when moving so frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it takes a certain type of person to be a frequent mover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst some people crave stability, having familiar things around them, a tight-knit social circle, or being near family, others need change, to be stimulated by new experiences and surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people are frequent movers by choice, others because their own, their partners or their parents&#8217; jobs require them to move often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout history, humans have been nomadic, and many still are, it is natural to move from place to place in search of a better life, but does moving home frequently in this day and age lead to a better you, a better life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even for those who crave new experiences, and a new place to live, there always seems to be a financial reason not to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is a saying that goes along the lines: You always know how much money you have but you don\u2019t know how much time you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this week\u2019s home moving blog, we will share some invaluable tips for people who move home a lot. We will discover why people move home frequently, how that affects you and your family psychologically and physically, and finally, we will share ways to make moving home frequently easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why\">Why Do People Move Home Frequently?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, moving home is a huge upheaval that they only do when they absolutely have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Constantly moving from place to place is not most people\u2019s idea of fun, so why do people move home a lot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Primarily people move home a lot due to their careers, for better job prospects, or as they get new roles within a company<\/li><li>People in further education may need to move out at the end of each term<\/li><li>Military personnel often move frequently<\/li><li>You may want to experience living in various areas of a city before committing to buy a home or sign a long lease in a specific area for example<\/li><li>Then there are serial movers, those who love the thrill of moving home and discovering new places, new cultures, and having new experiences<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"\/move\/culture-shock-when-moving-home\/\">How to Avoid Culture Shock When Moving Home<\/a>.

There is always that craving to see what adventures your next home move will present to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a serial home mover, there is also that safety net in the belief that nothing is permanent, there is always somewhere else to move to, another place to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making changes can be empowering, it gives you a certain level of control over your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mistakes are only temporary, the next move will be better, the next area more invigorating, or the next home will give you that feeling of calm or mental comfort that you seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you may be someone who loves to organise and plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful home move requires exceptional planning and organisational skills and the sense of satisfaction at the end of a stress-free moving day can be exhilarating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there is the satisfaction of organising and setting up the new home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is then after a couple of years that the novelty of a new home wears off and you crave a new home moving project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you could also be someone like me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not necessarily the process of moving home or to a new area that you find so exciting, but it is that you have the opportunity to renovate or improve a property that stimulates you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visualising how to make changes to the property, planning those changes, and then making them a reality. I find that whole process addictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I used the word \u2018addictive\u2019 there on purpose. Most people would think of an addiction as something that you are unable to resist no matter what the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as I have finished renovating a home I am instantly bored, I need a new challenge and am off looking for the next project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether that is a sound financial decision is often questionable, but the adrenalin rush, the sense of satisfaction when making those changes is worth the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, yes, whether it is new cultures, self-improvement, or staving off that feeling of stagnation, moving home can be an addictive, life-changing event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"\/move\/leaving-a-home-you-love\/\">How to Move Out of a Home You Love<\/a>.

Different places will naturally lead you to an easier way to meet those goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, living in the countryside may make it easier for you to lose weight because there are fewer shops or takeaways, and local food may be fresher or even grown in your own garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living by the sea or a river may open you up to getting fitter by taking up rowing or surfing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may choose to learn a new language and move to China Town for example so that you can immerse yourself in the language and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will learn to cope with change, and adapt to, and accept different cultures and environments. To become more tolerant of others, and see the world through lots of different perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each home move will teach you something new and will help you discover the things, places, or people that improve your quality of life and those that you know to steer clear of in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every home move is the opportunity to learn, to share your experiences and skills, and to help and be helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new place, a new you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"\/move\/bright-side-of-moving-home\/\">The Bright Side of Moving Home<\/a>.

To take a new route to work that bypasses this temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may move from a flat with no garden to a flat with a balcony. Even what would appear to be a small change like this can have a positive physical effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can have some window boxes, maybe a few pot plants, and even a table or chairs on the balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an extra opportunity to do something physical at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving closer to work may mean you can ditch the car and cycle to work, or moving out of the city may allow you to get a place with a garden which is great physical exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving from a small town to a big city may give you access to a gym or better fitness classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every home move, no matter how insignificant it may appear, can allow you to improve your physical fitness, we just need to look for the opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"\/move\/the-health-benefits-of-moving-home\/\">What are the Health Benefits of Moving Home?<\/a> There is growing scientific evidence that moving home has a positive impact on your health.
