Lessons from a Season of Moving

In the span of just a couple of weeks, I moved twice.

On October 21st, I packed up my apartment, moved everything into storage, and spent ten days at my parents’ house.

Then, on October 31st, I moved again — this time into my cousin’s new place, where I’ll be surrounded by love, family, and lots of laughter.

It’s a beautiful thing — and yet, I feel… off.

Between the storage unit and the unpacking, the retreat I led out of town right before the move, and turning the clocks back, I’ve found myself exhausted, discombobulated and frustrated with myself for not getting back to "normal" faster.

When you’re locked into your routine, you’re on autopilot, and that means you’re making far fewer decisions.

Now, every single day I'm making new choices — where to put things, how to organize my space, what route to take, even how I make my morning coffee in a new kitchen.

Research shows that the average adult makes around 35,000 decisions a day. When you’re in transition, that number skyrockets. Everything around you is new, so your brain has to work overtime just to do the basics.

It’s a reminder that change — even the good kind — asks more of us.

So, instead of rushing to feel “normal,” I’m trying to stay curious. What new rhythms might emerge? What new places might I discover? How can I invite beauty into my space?

Every transition is a kind of becoming, a gentle nudge toward the next version of who we’re meant to be.

So this week, I invite you to notice where life is quietly rearranging itself for you.

What’s new? What feels different? And what might it be teaching you about where you’re headed next?
