Pre-wedding anxiety is a very common phenomenon. Most brides experience it more or less to some extent. This may stem from the preparations, wedding dress, from accepting the fact that you would be moving to a new home surrounded by new people more often and several other reasons. While you cannot completely do away with pre-wedding anxiety, here’s how you can try to deal with it.
Here are some of the effective ways in which pre-wedding anxiety can be handled.
Acknowledge your feelings
Don’t try to run away from the fact that you are experiencing pre-wedding anxiety. It is very normal. The best thing to do is acknowledge it and ask yourself questions while jotting the answers. Your questions can navigate from what is making you worry- from the event arrangement to the relationship you are entering to the responsibilities and expectation that would be levied on you. Jot down the sources of the tension and possible reasons and opinions about them.
Have your support systems
Have a word with your to-be spouse or someone you trust and share your feelings. Point out what is making you anxious and how can a solution be reached. Talking out things that really mean to one another only strengthens the bond. In fact, you never know if your partner is feeling the same and talking out with each other eases the individual tension.
Simplify the wedding
When it becomes too tedious to keep a close eye on every little wedding preparation, start asking yourself what is really needed and what can be cut out. This helps in making your wedding crisper, meaningful, short, and intimate- with the people who really mean a lot for you. This also means that you no longer have the headache of managing fifty things at the same go and you can take a deep breather and release some of your anxiety.
Do basic breathing and meditation
Every morning, wake up and take time out for some simple meditation and breathing techniques. It helps relaxing your muscles and ease the stress. Techniques like deep breathing, short meditation, walking, yoga, etc helps you not only take care of the calories before wedding but also helps you let go off the stress.
Healthy habits
Apart from exercising you must also lead a healthy lifestyle and better your sleeping patterns. Go for a digital detox, give your body a fixed 7-8 hours of sleep, keep yourself hydrated and have healthy, nutritious meals without binge-eating.
