Insider Wellness Tips For Brides: 5 Ways To Prepare Yourself Before The Big Day

While it’s an exciting time in any bride’s life, planning a wedding can be undeniably stressful. Now more than ever, considering the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are a lot of things that could overwhelm anybody. So it’s best to take care of yourself physically and mentally to make sure you’re well throughout the process. Here are a few tips to keep in mind that will help you fight stressors and keep yourself in shape from the moment you say “yes” to when you say “I do.”

 

1. Take out time for yourself

The closer you get to the big day, the more overwhelming things can seem. You need to be mindful and take care of yourself every step of the way. Since wedding planning can quickly take over your life without you realizing it, be sure to take regular breaks to do something unrelated and relaxing. This will give you the chance to recharge and come back with a fresh mind and allow you the time for other things. And don’t forget to treat yourself from time to time! Having the occasional bubble bath or putting on your favorite Netflix show not only keeps you distracted from planning for a while, but it is also a great self-care method to start with to prepare you for your wedding. You can indulge in some skincare with face masks while reading your book, giving yourself a well-deserved pampering.

 

2. Breaks are important but don’t put off tasks

We all have been a victim of procrastination. There’s no denying that. And we know how that story ends. So to avoid that, simply… don’t avoid tasks. We know. It isn’t as simple. As tempting as it may seem to say you’ll do something “later,” it just as easily can lead to you rushing to get things done at the last minute and making things far more stressful. Organizing your tasks will help you get through the wedding planning process as smoothly as possible to work more efficiently.

 

3. Find your zen with yoga and meditation

Any kind of exercise is good for the body. It helps us stay mentally and physically fit. This doesn’t always have to be to lose weight or tone your muscles. Even a little yoga and meditation practice can easily relieve you of any stress you might have and bring you to a much calmer state of mind. And with everything that’s going on in the world, we need this peace of mind a little more than ever. So even with just a few deep breaths, if you find your worries melting away, give yourself those couple of minutes to refocus your energy and bring a positive impact for a healthier you.

 

4. Prioritize eating healthy & staying hydrated

Eating healthy and staying hydrated is extremely important in everyday life, but brides often occupy themselves too much to follow a proper and regular schedule. It, of course, is important to be mindful of what you eat, but making sure of when you eat is necessary too. Especially with a packed schedule, you need to give your body the nourishment to function efficiently. Ensuring you’re eating well and drinking plenty of water regularly helps you keep your best shape, making you feel good on your D-day and the days leading up to it.

 

5. Get your Zs in

Good sleep is one of the key things for ensuring good physical and mental health. And with a wedding to plan, you might be cutting short your much-needed rest. Ensuring you find enough snooze time so that you’re fresh and healthy not just for your wedding, but always. After all, proper sleep is just as vital as healthy eating and exercising.
