It’s never too early to start planning the next move. To minimize stress involved when moving;

• Prepare for the move by creating a plan that includes decisions on having the military move you or move yourself. Make sure you build in enough time.
• Set a budget and stick to it. Incidental items such as shower curtains, mops, cleaning supplies and pantry restocking can, and do, financially add up.
• Organize, stay organized and start small. Clean up and get rid of junk. Hold a yard sale or donate serviceable items you no longer need. Consider donating to your local Airman's Attic. Gather important family records. Moving to another environment or country means adapting to a new culture, traditions and way of life. Contact the & Military and Family Readiness Center at 701-747-3241 for additional resources and tools to assist you and your family members during this exciting time.
• Accept that stress is normal, especially during the moving process. Utilize a variety of calming techniques to decompress. There are many military and non-military helping agencies as well as phone apps that may be of help. Ask for help if needed.
