Stress |

Excerpt from The Healthy Bride Guide

Tools to manage through the chaos
Stress—it’s the one thing no bride can hide from
when preparing for her wedding day. So how will you
remain sane, calm, and able to enjoy all the showers,
decisions, parties, workouts, decisions, plans,
schedules, in-laws, family members, decisions. . .
Phew, just thinking about all the pre-wedding activity
makes me stressed out! You know that this process
will be incredibly fun at times and your wedding will
be one of the best times in your life. However, the
road to wedded bliss most assuredly will be paved
with bumps and will certainly create some stress not
only for you, but also for your fiancé and your family.
Bridal Stress Test
Answer the following questions with True or False:
1.I am getting plenty of sleep and I am sleeping well.
True False
2. I am eating enough and not too much, and I
am eating mostly the right things. True False
3. I do not find myself ruminating on topics
that are bothering me.
True False
4. I am able to make decisions and feel good
about them. True False
5. My family is supportive and helpful when it
comes to my wedding.
True False
6. My friends and bridesmaids are supportive
and helpful when it comes to my wedding.
Yes No
7. My fiancé is sharing in our wedding planning
process. True False
8. I have time to do most of the things I want
to do for my wedding and for myself right now.
True False
9. My wedding planning is not adversely
affecting my job or my friendships. True False
10. I feel good about how my wedding day is
going to turn out. True False
Results
If you answered False to 0-3 questions: You are
doing quite well, and there’s no need to worry, at
least for right now.
If you answered False to 3-6 questions: You are
becoming fairly stressed and probably should
reevaluate how you are coping with the pressure.
If you answered False to 7-10 questions: We need to
talk! Things could be going a lot better for you. Keep
reading this section; you really need to de-stress.
When angry, count 10 before you speak; if very
angry, an hundred. --Thomas Jefferson
Create a Stress Survival Kit
I heard a story recently about a bride who was so
upset with her maid of honor for being 10 minutes
late to the rehearsal dinner, she "fired" her right then
and there in front of everyone. The truth was that
the maid of honor had been downstairs setting up a
slideshow she’d made of the bride and her fiancé to
show later that night. Had this bride counted to 10
and asked her maid of honor why she was late, there
would have been a lot less stress for everyone.
It's so easy to get wound up over the small things
that bother us and to lose sight of the bigger picture.
And these blowups are the sort things one never
forgets. Will that bride ever forget firing her maid of
honor? I’m sure the memory will be with her forever,
though it’s not exactly one she’d want to keep.
How do you deal with your stress during one of the
biggest moments of your life? There’s a lot of
pressure on you when planning and having your
wedding. No question about it. It's how you deal with
the stress that counts. One of my favorite sayings
is, "It's not what happens to you in life that matters,
it's how you deal with what happens to you in life
that really matters ."
Take some time out and think of that the things that
make you feel happy, calm, and centered. It might
be a certain phrase, a poem, a picture, or a letter
you received from a loved one. Or it may be
activities, such as taking a deep breath or doing
simple yoga moves or meditation. Or it may be
something less tangible, such as smells or memories
from another time. Whatever beacon of calm you
choose, make sure it’s easy to memorize or carry with
you (Any time you feel like you’re at the point
of "losing it," you will have these soothing memories,
icons, quotations or activities to turn to. Let’s call
this calming touchstone your "Bridal Stress Survival
Kit."
Determine what your Stress Survival Kit will contain
and how you can keep it with you for easy access.
When you feel yourself getting stressed, all you need
to do is “pull out your kit” and use it. You may have
to excuse yourself from some situations (even public
ones) for a few minutes, and that is perfectly fine.
Do what you need to do to manage the rough spots
so that you can keep your wedding-planning process
fun.
