Whatever you have to do to wind down, to get your rest, you need to do that to maintain your strength when you are moving to Atlanta.

Tip #4: Move A Tad at A Time

There is nothing more stressful (or makes you exhaust more energy) than trying to move all at one time. That's why, rather, you should schedule your energy and your work. Plan out what you need to pack by what day and acquire the assistance you will need to move at a constant rate. You are less inclined to injure yourself that way, it cuts down on your stress, and can make it less likely you'll impair yourself at some point of the moving process.

No matter what season you might be moving in, frequent fluctuations in temps, in addition to being outside in poor weather, will take its toll on your body's defense mechanisms. It won't cause you to be sick on its own if you happen to load up your moving van while it is raining, or if you're frequently going from cool air conditioning into warm, steamy outdoor weather, but it's likely to zap your strength. Keep in mind things such as that and try to lessen your exposure when you are able.
