Laugh a Little

While you’re busy with the many things you have to do to prepare for your wedding, take note, that laughter can help you get through some of the more challenging moments. You will no doubt come across times where things don’t seem to be working out or falling into place as smoothly as you hoped. As your stress levels increase, you may begin to feel more overwhelmed or anxious. Stop and breathe.
People handle stress in different ways.  Taking a step back and trying to look on the lighter side is one way to manage through difficult periods. Ask yourself, is this worth getting upset over? It’s easy to get upset, but it’s healthier not to let unexpected situations get your mood down. From family drama or missing centerpieces to absent best men or hair and makeup disasters, every wedding faces challenges. It’s rare that a wedding goes off without any glitches. So it’s best to learn now, how to laugh off the little things. Once you change your wedding planning woes into stories of comic relief, it becomes easier to move forward. It is also important to note that your bodies respond positively to positive thoughts and emotions, such as those from laughter. You naturally feel better when you are in a good mood and vice versa. And since this is a time in your life when you want to feel good in body and spirit, learn to shake off the low points and laugh out loud.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you never take things seriously. There is a time for everything. If there is something you can do to correct a situation or right a wrong, go ahead and do it. Then decide not to worry about it anymore. But if you can picture yourself laughing about it in ten years, then let it set you free now and don't hang onto the negative feelings. Later, you and your husband will find ways to laugh about all the little stuff that went wrong and learn that they make great stories to tell.
