And then the day of the ICS came, or rather the most active preparations for moving to another country. It felt like we were on the Titanic and could go to the bottom at any moment, but as you understand, we sailed out. It was important for us to decide on the things that we would transport. I’ll write what we took with us and how necessary it really turned out to be in Israel. From the equipment we took a computer, a robot vacuum cleaner, a multicooker, a food processor, an electric meat grinder, a coffee grinder. From the kitchen appliances we only took a few good knives. Also, blankets, pillows, several sets of bed linen, towels, slates, sandals for the summer, sneakers for summer and leather for winter, summer clothes, autumn down jackets for the local winter, several warm sweaters, jewelry, cosmetics necessary for the first time, which you use every day. Everything was useful from things, the only thing you can There was no need to take a meat grinder, here everywhere in the meat departments they make minced meat from the meat you choose, but you definitely had to take a screwdriver. Actually, because of him, my husband and I had a considerable argument, but I turned out to be more persistent, or rather, my Amazon turned on, which needs to win, and not put everything into pieces. In the end, they didn’t take him, but it was in vain. Here it is very expensive, but in a rented apartment it is simply necessary when settling in. Then she apologized to her husband for her Amazon) And most importantly, you need to take money with you. Cash was also not easy, as there were difficulties in exchanging rubles for dollars. We ran all over Saratov, looking for available currency and a more or less acceptable exchange rate. Probably, if you have no financial restrictions, you can travel light and buy everything on the spot, but even in this case you will most likely experience stress, since everything is very expensive in Israel , it is one of the most expensive countries in the world. And with the withdrawal of money from Russia now, too, not everything is so simple, but it is possible. And here are 6 bags of 23 kg each, hand luggage for each, a dog crate, documents, money and we ourselves, in a semi-fainting state, are going to the airport on a transfer that was provided to us in Jewish agency, having said goodbye the day before to friends and family, to someone day after day in our cozy apartment and with some kind of fog in my head, how it will all look next... A frequent question that clients ask me and which I asked myself : “Is it possible to remain calm while preparing to move to another country?” If you are a living person, then my answer is: NO. But if you are used to suppressing your emotions, then in the process of moving, you may be in a frozen, detached state, but then everything that was suppressed can shoot out in the form of psychosomatics and even sudden psychosis or depression, seemingly out of the blue. Therefore, this option has its place and can be your protective strategy, but it is important to remember the consequences and better work with this topic with a psychologist. These recommendations can help you cope with the affairs and worries that accompany moving Plan ahead. Preparing for a move starts long before you leave, so the sooner you start making plans and organizing everything you need, the less stress you'll experience. Take regular breaks and rest. Don't forget about your physical and emotional well-being. Switch your attention to relaxation, walk, change the picture, play sports, meditate if this is close to you. Communicate with loved ones. Tell your family and friends about your move and share your feelings and concerns. Support from loved ones will help you feel less lonely and more confident. But at the same time, remember that someone may not share your aspiration, be selective in revealing your intentions. Believe in yourself. Stay optimistic and believe in yourself. Remember that moving is a new stage in your life, which can bring many positive changes, despite many difficulties. Seek help from a psychologist. If you feel that it is difficult for you to cope with stress on your own, do not hesitate.
