I woke up this afternoon feeling so strange. It’s not my room, it’s not my bed, and nothing feels familiar. My family isn’t here, and suddenly there’s a man, my husband, sharing my personal space for the first time. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I feel like an impostor just walking around and doing things in this place.

    It will take time for this new space to feel like your own! This is very normal. Start building your new routines - make the tea or coffee in the morning, plan out your day, start to incorporate little touches of your own through the house. One day you’ll wake up and feel like this was always home.

    Have you put up any pictures yet? That can really help make a space feel more personal.

      Expanding on this: it’s a great time to challenge your assumptions and try building ip different routines! Be mindful to not “get stuck” on routines and habits you don’t like
