Yes, deep deep breaths! Also envisioning yourself in your bucolic New Jersey lake vacation can also help you relax and get a grip on the anxiety.
I agree (BtD?) with lists, they help a lot. I know all about needing a vacation and since I just crossed the great continental divide, moves can be stressful too. But, this is also where you call in your chits with friends to help you out, those you are comfy with, like help packing, etc. One box at a time and my big advice is, purge whatever you can! I found 3 boxes that I moved from CA to VA 7 years ago, still unpacked in a closet. Those got pitched pronto!
In the meantime, deep breaths and visualization lolling by the lake!
