Moving into a new home is always an exciting adventure, and I was thrilled when I moved from Vienna’s 9th district to the 18th district last year in June. One of the best things about moving was the opportunity to redecorate my new home.

I opted to decorate my home using all-natural colors such as beige, brown, black and gold accents. These colors brought a sense of warmth and coziness to the space. It was important for me to create a home that felt welcoming while maintaining a stylish and modern appeal.

SAYING GOODBYE TO MY OLD APARTMENT: LESSONS I’VE LEARNED FROM MOVING

I’ve been living peacefully and contentedly in a small apartment for twelve years, but my family and friends always asked, “When will you move out?”

Well, I didn’t want it, until the burglary happened, and everything has changed.

The reason I am writing this post is that I have learned many things after moving from a place where I lived for more than a decade.

Moving can be overwhelming, both financially and emotionally. It takes a lot of energy of planning and effort, not to mention stress. Thanks to the myUmzug team in Vienna, the moving went smoothly and easily. Here is why?

FOUR MONTHS AFTER BURGLARY AT HOME: WHAT HAS CHANGED IN MY LIFE AND HOW I COPE WITH THE EMOTIONAL SCARS OF THIS TERRIBLE EVENT

Saturday, 26 of March— the sun snuck in gently through the blinds in the bedroom. Warm light grazed my face and I woke up full of positive energy, knowing that I will have a great day by starting it with a matcha latte and Pilates. Afterwards, I met my friends to visit the international art fair, SPARK.

Everything has changed that day, and the moment I arrived home. The first moments of shock, seeing the apartment’s door open, the huge chaos in the living-room, bedroom— all cupboards and the whole wardrobe open.

I didn’t know how to react, and what to do in the first second. When I realized that my home was broken into, the first thing I looked for— if my notebook was stolen? I couldn’t find it, I started to shake— my heart beat faster, and I had shortness of breath.

ONE MONTH OF SELF-QUARANTINE

On the morning of the tenth day of my self-isolation I called my mother and said, “I’m terrified.”

“About what?” she asked.

I said, “Everything!”

She said, “Remember twenty years ago when we were isolated at home during the war in Kosovo? You said you were terrified and wished to be somewhere else. Now you live somewhere else, but the entire world is facing the same situation. Be patient, we will overcome this as well!”

HOW I KEEP MYSELF MOTIVATED?

A question I get asked often “How can you stay motivated to wake-up early, workout, be in the office, go to appointments, attend events, travel, do this and do that?” My answer is, it’s only a mindset and a strong willpower.

Starting my day at 6 AM with warm lemon water, prepare a healthy breakfast and create a to-to list for the day, doesn’t always happen naturally. I do have “grey” days, when everything seems impossible, overwhelming, and difficult to have strong willpower to motivate myself and be productive.
