When beginning the process of getting your home ready to sell, prepare yourself mentally to make a break with your home. Begin thinking of it as a house, not as your home, a product that will be sold. Let go of all the emotions surrounding home and treat it as a product. Then focus your attention and emotions on your new home, look forward to the future and make that the center of your thoughts.
