Helping Your Kids To Adjust To Change

When we found out that we were going to be moving to a new country for my husband's job, I could tell that my kids were more than a little freaked out. We talked with them at length about the transition, but they were really apprehensive about accepting the change. However, after we talked with a few other parents who had been through the same thing, we learned great coping mechanisms that would help them. We showed them pictures of our new place, and explained interesting local customs. After awhile, they started to warm up to the idea. My blog is about helping you to teach your kids to adjust to change, so that they aren't left struggling with a difficult transition.

Three Important Benefits Of Using A Storage Unit To Help Declutter Your Home

Renting a unit at a self storage facility in your community, packing up your seldom-used possessions and relocating them to the unit is one of the best ways you can declutter your home. It's easy for any home to get cluttered over the years, especially if you have a heavy degree of attachment to your items and find it difficult to throw them out. Take back the space in your home with the use of a storage unit and you'll see numerous benefits. Here are three valuable reasons to use a storage unit, like those at Epic Group Inc, to reduce your home's clutter.

Stress Reduction

A cluttered home can often make you feel stressed. The extra items that surround you in each room can not only make the space feel smaller and slightly claustrophobic, but can also pull your attention away from the task at hand to make you feel stressed. In your kitchen, clutter can send a message that there's lots of work to do -- dishes to wash, items to put away and food to make. In a home office, you might feel that bills and paperwork are piling up beyond your control. These subtle feelings can combine to make you feel behind schedule and even incapable of achieving these tasks. By reducing your home's clutter and sending your extra items to a storage facility, you can feel less overwhelmed by your surroundings.

Cleaner Air

Bundling up your rarely used possessions and finding them a new home in your storage unit means that you'll have greater success cleaning your home. When a space is cluttered, it can be difficult to dust and vacuum, which can translate into dust that affects your home's air quality. Removing extra items will allow you to clean your home properly and reduce built-up allergens that your family is breathing.

Cost Savings

When your home is cluttered, it can be difficult to find specific items or even know if you own a certain article of clothing, tool, kitchen accessory or children's toy. This uncertainty can often lead you to buying something that you already own, meaning that you're spending more than is necessary. The process of decluttering allows you to develop a clear inventory of your possessions, relocate those that you don't immediately need to your storage unit and find what you keep in your home in a short amount of time. All this means you have less of a chance of inadvertently buying what you already have, which will save you money.
