Feeling anxious about your wedding?
In February my amazing man proposed and I am now an engaged women planning her wedding!
The most exciting and memorable moment in my life with the most romantic proposal.
We did enjoy a few weeks before the engagement party planning commenced and before you know it, planning a wedding is a full time job.
You experience sheer joy and immerse yourself in that feeling until that turns to bewilderment for the journey ahead. Choices become overwhelming and then comes frustration from vendors/suppliers and you feel they force your hand somewhat into the options you have.
You are faced with cold hard facts of the cost of your wedding and set a budget in hopes to lessen the financial pain in which is your special day.
Then the bargain hunting starts, you don’t want to compromise on the theme or look you are going for. You want the quality still but need this to fit in your budget.
And then you start buying these items as they come available, you don’t want to miss the bargain for that special item you have been chasing? So its 10 months till your wedding, you are accumulating vases, candles, frames and random items you need. Before you know it, you are wondering what happened to your clinic room?!
Now these items are too many so they need to be moved to another room, and before you know it, your house looks like a thrift shop and are back to the bewilderment stage!
In all seriousness though, it has been an amazing journey so far. Planning is one of my strong areas (I love it!), any excuse to write a list or plan something. I’m really enjoying that side of the wedding, deciding on elements of the wedding together with my fiancé which has been such a great experience. It has been happy sailing and a lovely way to progress our relationship in such a positive way.
My creative side has decided to reappear after many years of being dormant which has prompted me to take on my tasks which would have others say I’m crazy! I guess I’ll let you know how it all turns out after the wedding in March 2017.
Its surprising how much of an emotional journey getting married can be with all the stresses and anxiety caused from family. Some can be very supportive and try to help, while others try to road block you every step of the way.
It has really shown me who will be there for me no matter what and those that provide conditional love and shed their disappointments on you. It’s important we let go of resentment and any negative emotions we have towards others. If people wish to carry negative feelings, that feeling is on them alone. Show loving kindness towards others and practice some mindfulness mediation.
I have focused my energies onto on meditation, yoga, clean eating and Reiki & chakra balancing for myself.
Reconnecting with my myself, using my inner power, love and understanding of being in the present moment. There is nothing like some good ‘om’ meditation to get you back on track!
Have you meditated lately?
