On moving day, it's easy to get caught up in a frenzy of brown boxes and piled up furniture. One way to keep yourself from getting overwhelmed is to take a moment to mark your passage from one place to the next. Take a few "last day" photos to memorialize your old place, and spend a little time relaxing and remembering positive times you had here. At the new place, give yourself permission to unpack slowly. Unpack enough that you can relax a little and enjoy your new surroundings, then go ahead and chill out while you get acclimated. Go for a walk around the block and get to know your new neighborhood -- walking is a well-known stress reliever.
