Healthy Habits To Practice Before Your Wedding



I’ve always known from my experiences planning weddings with my friends who were the brides-to-be, that the idea of getting married is beautiful and the plans exciting but on the other hand, seriously stressful, energy-consuming, overwhelming, and if care isn’t taken, you might end up breaking down or even looking really flushed out on your wedding day. There are many tasks involved in the wedding planning process, from sending out invitations to arranging your guest list to choosing your wedding dress, and wedding party, and even down to the menu for the day.

1. Establish good communication with your spouse, friends, and family
When planning a wedding, you and your partner must have excellent communication skills and enlist the assistance of your friends as well. Before getting married, there are numerous issues that, if unresolved, could lead to resentment and hatred that would ruin the celebration.

2. Eat healthily and happily
Even though organizing a wedding can feel like a full-time job, making time to eat is essential. You’ll have enough energy if you nourish your body with well-balanced meals packed with fruits and vegetables to complete every item on your to-do list for the wedding. Eat regular, consistent meals and snacks that are high in protein and fiber throughout the day to help regulate blood sugar and curb unhealthy cravings. 
3. Invest in a good sleep
Sleepless nights are fairly frequent in the weeks leading up to the wedding. It may seem impossible to turn off your mind and get some rest when there are so many details to settle. Numerous advantages of sleeping seven to nine hours a night include lowering stress, boosting immunity, enhancing mood, and improving cognitive and blood sugar control.

4. Invest in your skincare for some extra glow
Before your wedding, shopping for the ideal skin care items shouldn’t only involve a single trip to the cosmetics store. In fact, to attain that bridal glow, schedule a consultation with your dermatologist as soon as possible after your wedding engagement. You’d be surprised at the benefits if you had six months to a year to prep your skin for your big day. Your skin will stay renewed and radiant week after week, with the help of at-home masks (facials) and natural exfoliation treatments containing lactic acid. 

5. Practice daily meditation
This is merely a reminder to be attentive to your surroundings and to be present. Simply focusing on your breathing for 10 minutes a day can help you reduce the stress associated with weddings and increase your concentration. There are no set restrictions for where or when to practice it. 

6. Schedule a weekly date night
This is a suggestion for you and your significant other to have some time together every week, perhaps by seeing a comedy concert or going to a hilarious movie. If you’d rather stay inside, you can unplug, SEE a romantic comedy, and perhaps even reward yourself with some tasty popcorn and dark chocolate. No matter what you have planned or how busy your calendar is, make sure to check in with each other, especially when the going gets tough and you’re running out of time to organize your wedding.

7. Increase your water intake
Although it may sound cliché, drinking enough water each day is crucial for your health, particularly as you get ready for your big day. Dehydration, which can induce sluggish thinking, alter mood, and cause your body to overheat, can be avoided by drinking lots n’ lots of water.
8. Find a suitable exercise routine and be consistent
Yoga and morning postures are just two examples of activities that will help you increase your blood flow and invigorate both your body and mind as you prepare for your wedding day. Only make sure to organize your healthy fitness program wisely if you want to achieve your own goals. Never look back on your wedding day and regret how strict your diet was or how much you worked out.

9. Prioritize connecting with other people
You might be tempted to cancel plans and stay home on the couch with so many wedding planning duties on your to-do list. However, your social life has a significant influence on your health and happiness. As per a study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, maintaining relationships improves your mood and lengthens your life. Taking a break from planning your big day to spend time with loved ones can also help you feel more rested and inspired when you return to your list.

10. Set boundaries around your devices
Try to utilize your personal gadgets as little as possible. The truth is that organizing a wedding involves spending a lot of time on your phone or computer, whether it’s looking for vendors or writing an email. You will presumably use technology even more frequently if you have an eight-hour desk job in addition to the wedding plans. But for the sake of your mind, body, and relationships, you must find times during the day to put your devices away and also to create time for most of the other healthy practices above.
