Whether you are in the planning, packing, or moving stage of your move, you might feel like you’re going to lose your mind at some point. That’s when the stress is really kicking in! Now, there are a few ways to test your stress levels, and we found one that’s a little… trippy.
Let’s put it to the test! Look at these images. Are they moving? Or are they standing still?
The purpose of these pictures is to test the level of stress someone can handle. The slower the picture moves, the better you handle stress.
For example, alleged criminals were tested and said to see them moving fast! Those who saw it still were senior citizens and children.
Just as an FYI, none of the above pictures are actually animated. They are standing perfectly still!
While moving can be a stressful experience, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. There are several ways to destress during a move. First, make a detailed plan and timeline for your move well in advance so you have a clear roadmap to follow. This can help alleviate some of the last-minute panic. Second, declutter your belongings before packing. Getting rid of items you no longer need or use can lighten your load physically and mentally. Third, consider enlisting the help of professional movers or moving services to reduce the physical strain and worry. Finally, take breaks and practice self-care during the moving process. Stay hydrated, eat well, and get enough rest. Moving is a significant life event, but with careful planning and self-care, it can be a smoother and less stressful transition.
So, if any of these are moving for you… Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in. Exhale. Take a minute to yourself and find a focus point within yourself. Remember, stress is only as big as you make it feel!
