4 Important Things to Do When You Move Into A New Home

4 Things To Do When You Move Into A New Home

Changing homes is always both an exciting and stressful time. Settling in and leaving your mark on a space is a wonderful way to redefine yourself and your place in the world. It always marks both the beginning and ending of a chapter in our life.

Personally, I absolutely love taking a blank canvas and making it my own, even if that also involves figuring out the special trick to open the front door or how to navigate your new neighbor’s TV viewing habits.

A fresh new space is a vibrant thing. It will rub off on you. And it will change your perspective (Who will I be while living here?).

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that your home isn’t big or nice enough for this sort of stuff to matter. It’s your space so it always matters. Having a fancy house won’t necessarily make this experience any more satisfying. As always, it’s the attitude that matters most.

(And we’re all working on that attitude of gratitude, right? πŸ™‚ )

So whether it’s a shiny new condo or a seen-better-days rental, it’s time to take a pause and really honor this special moment.


4 Things to Do When You Move Into A New Home

Here are a few things you need do to get your home truly ready for you:


1. Give It A Thorough Cleaning

It might go without saying but you don’t want to begin your new chapter in the remnants of someone else. If your place isn’t spic and span, get on it ASAP. Even if you don’t normally indulge in professional cleaners, booking a one-time-only deep clean will be totally worth it. Even if your place is brand-spanking-new, you might still have lots of drywall dust to contend with. (And I hate to break it to you but your tradespeople have all used your new toilet before you – maybe even as an ashtray.)


2. Set An Intention

Ok now that we’ve cleaned it’s time to do some reflecting. Take fifteen minutes or so to sit and get quietly focused. It’s best to do this in your new empty home but if that’s not possible just try to visualize it as best you can. Like a New Years or the start of a new school year, this is the time to assess where you are and where you are going. What do you want your new life to look like? Is there something you want to include more of? Is it time to shed some old habits or maybe even friends? If you can, come up with a word or two that best represents your visions for the future (you can use this word as a mantra).

Once you’ve reflected for a bit, close your eyes and do a five-minute visualization. Imagine yourself in your new space, being calm, healthy and happy and going about your daily routine.


3. Conduct An Energetic Cleansing

There is simply no way to know who has been in your new space let alone what might have happened there. And again, even if your new home is brand-new, many people have spent time there. So this is also the perfect time for a house clearing ritual. It’s time to remove any leftover energies from previous tenants and to create a nice blank slate for your new life phase.

You can read more about how to have an energetically cleansing ritual right over here.


4. Have A Housewarming

Don’t think you have to wait until everything is done before you have your housewarming! I once went to a housewarming party where we were literally standing around moving boxes and it was wonderful. The entire point of a housewarming is to bring the warm loving energy of your friends into your space. Have a party because this is a true moment to be commemorated not because you want to show off. It’s also a great reminder that all we really need in life is the right people. It ultimately doesn’t matter if you are serving nibbles off of paper plates; it’s the vibe that will be remembered not the decor. The whole point is to fill your new space with laughter and love–literally.




I hope you enjoyed these tips! Let me know how your next move goes.

And now for a quick message from your Higher Self: And now for a quick message from your Higher Self:Love yourself enough to LET IT GOBreathe deep & have a happy Sunday my beautiful babes!
You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.

What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yours What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yourself?πŸ’œTo not CRAVE that outside approval or validation?To forget about other people's opinions or what they say behind your back?To not motivate yourself to move TOWARDS something only because you cannot stand where you are?This just goes to show that as much as we all LOATHE to admit it, so much of what we do is based off of artificially leveraging ourselves UP.If so-and-so would only say "good job"If that person would LOVE meIf I finally did [ insert arbitrary goal here ]THEN I could finally feel good and actually TRULY love myself.Sometimes we all get our wires crossed on this at times. (Myself included!)We focus on the future fantasy that our issues will MAGICALLY disappear once X/Y/Z happens.And we chase the things outside of us, forgetting that the ONLY place our true happiness lies is within ourselves.I'm here to warn you:You could run the whole race of life and NOT get what you think you need from other people.You could meet milestone after milestone and still NEVER feel like you measure up. 😩ORYou could start being enough, right here, right now.Enough = you as you are, flaws, mistakes and all.Enough = you without anyone else.Enough = you.πŸ’—Happy Thursday Conscious Creator friends!

It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to fe It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to feel good all the time.And that's okay!Not gonna lie: the last month or so has been rough for me.The darkness of winter + strict lockdowns/limited holiday celebrations were TOUGH.I've definitely had my moments of letting it all get to me.But that doesn't mean anything has gone wrong.It doesn't mean that I'm somehow failing.And it definitely does NOT mean I'm putting more space between me and my manifestation goals.Even with the BEST of intentions, life is 50/50. Expecting perfection at any time will ONLY set you up for disappointment.Feeling frustrated, down, exhausted: those are all normal feelings for anyone experiencing a pandemic (plus general winter blues/ political chaos etc.)So while I don't want to create MORE of those feelings, I'm also not going to judge myself for having them.Making your feelings WRONG does not speed you up back into feeling better. It only creates self-loathing and resistance.Are you feeling the same? Here are a few things that are helping me right now:- Just letting myself cry if I feel like it (Sometimes 10 minutes of a good cry is a sufficient release!)
- Concentrating on pandemic-lockdown friendly goals that I CAN achieve (Doing pilates every day, meditation + Manifestation Journaling)
- Taking a break from drinking (I only drank about once a week anyway! But why not try going without it for a month?)
- Doing more behind-the-scenes entrepreneur stuff (The kinds of things that are so easy to put off for "someday")
- Using my SAD lamp every morning! (I only just got it but I swear it's helping)
- NOT judging myself too harshly if I suddenly don't feel up to doing the work I had planned or posting as much I "should" (Being an entrepreneur brings an EXTRA level of potential self-judgment that's hard to get out of at times.)This is all just a great example of one of the most important lessons of LIFE.You don't get to choose all your circumstances. But you DO get to choose what you do WITH them.What are you choosing to create right now? Whether you're in lockdown or not, I'd love to hear it!
