Wedding planning can be a full-time job and extremely stressful, which is why it's crucial to prioritise self-care and maintain a strong connection with your partner throughout the process.
In this episode, we delve into the challenges of wedding planning during the last couple of weeks before the big day.
It's important to acknowledge that feeling overwhelmed is completely normal. It's a mix of anxiety, nerves, stress, and sometimes a lack of sleep.
In the midst of the chaos, it's essential not to lose sight of yourselves as a couple. Take a moment to remember the significance of this time in your lives. This is the day you get to marry the love of your life, and it's all about the two of you.
Managing Overwhelm:
- Wedding overwhelm is a combination of anxiety, nerves, stress, and sometimes a lack of sleep.
- Everyone experiences overwhelm differently, but it's essential to stay connected as a couple.
- Regularly scheduling date nights or activities that don't involve wedding planning is crucial.
- Free or low-cost activities like going for walks, hikes, or swimming can help reconnect as a couple.
- Spending time in nature can have a powerful calming effect on overwhelming feelings.
- Yoga, stretching, meditation, and listening to uplifting music can contribute to a positive mindset.
Changing Your Mindset:
- Avoid telling yourself that you won't be able to accomplish everything.
- Adopt a positive outlook and affirm that everything is perfect as it is and will work out.
- Prioritize tasks by making a list and delegating responsibilities to family and friends.
- Communicate with your venue, photographer, celebrant, or other professionals for assistance.
- Some tasks, like writing vows or finalizing dress fittings, cannot be delegated.
- Utilise resources such as wedding planning apps, checklists, and support groups for guidance.
Taking Care of Yourself:
- Prioritize sleep, exercise, hydration, and a healthy diet to maintain well-being.
- Waking up early, drinking water, and going for a walk can energize and kickstart your day.
- Clean eating and regular exercise have a positive impact on mental and physical health.
- Journaling can help identify the source of overwhelm and create a plan to tackle it.
- Lean on support by hiring a cleaner or asking for help from friends and family.
- Be kind to yourself throughout the process and remember the importance of enjoying the journey.
