Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts that you might want to consider leading up to your wedding:
Do take time to meditate every day, particularly in the mornings – Start your day off with a clean heart and mind. For a few moments, purge your mind of all the things on your “To Do” list, whether it’s for yourself, family, or the wedding. Take time to BREATHE, recite positive intentions, and/or pray to build a peaceful, firm foundation for your day.
Do get some help –
Whether it’s to manage your duties at home (i.e., cooking, cleaning, balancing
the finances, etc.) OR logistical duties for the wedding, you can alleviate some
stress by getting a professional – a maid or cook (maybe just once or twice a
week), a wedding planner, or a reliable family member – to help you. Allow that
person(s) to take some of the weight, even for a brief moment.
Don’t make decisions
or purchases when you’re feeling stress or anxious – Yes, things have got
to get done in a timely manner. But if you make decisions in haste, you open
yourself up to making mistakes that can cost you in time AND money.
Don’t over indulge
- Often, we create negative outlets to relieve tension (i.e., over eating,
drinking heavily, shopping recklessly, etc.).
Resorting to “temporary” feel good measures will only make matters worse
in the LONG RUN. When you feel the need
to over indulge, remember you want positive, happy memories leading up to your
wedding not regrets!
Stay positive, healthy, and happy. Worrying never solved
anything and stress never helped anybody. Embrace the love from your fiancé,
family, and friends and do your part to
return it.
