You need to be in tip top shape to enjoy your dream wedding. A healthy diet and exercise will go a long way to avoiding feeling run down and overwhelmed by the many things that you have to arrange and plan. Here are Appywedding's tips to having a happy wedding day, even when the unexpected happens:
Wellness: Meditation and breathing techniques help clear the mind and also calm down your nervous system. Begin to become aware of your breath and focus on the in-and-out cycle of your breath. JA little everyday or when you're lying in bed at night will make a real difference. It will help slow your heart rate and relax your muscles too.
Use a Mantra: Is the stress of the wedding starting to take away from the enjoyment? Find a quiet place, close your eyes. Breathe in thinking "I feel good," and breathe out thinking "All is well, I am peaceful." Mantras like this have served as Zen portals for monks and yogis for centuries, and they can help you find your calm too.
Essential oils like Lavender are well-known for soul-soothing capabilities, but others, like jasmine, chamomile, and basil, have proven relaxing benefits as well. "Dab some lavender or rose essential oil onto your wrists. Light a perfumed candle or brew a cup of floral tea for a little sweet-smelling repose.
Pamper, pamper, pamer. Massage, a facial, or even a manicure and pedicure in a spa setting can do wonders for your stress levels. Or just settle into the bathtub from time to time.
You can't handle everything by yourself -- as super as you may be. Weddings are major event planning parties, so enlist friends and family to help make place cards, tie bows onto favors, and run errands.
Above all the journey to wedding day should be fun and stress free so that you can fully embrace and enjoy of single special moment of your wedding day.
