Planning a wedding never was known to be an easy task. Finding a caterer, florist, photographer, videographer for your wedding is a process. And what’s going on now in the world is upending your planning. Don’t give in to those negative thoughts and waves of uncertainty. Here are a few helpful tips for staying positive.

  • First, recognize that some stress is inevitable.

  • The American Psychological Association has noted: “Stress is to the human condition what tension is to the violin string: too little and the music is dull and raspy; too much and the music is shrill or the string snaps. Stress can be the kiss of death or the spice of life. The issue, really, is how to manage it.”

  • Be humble, set reasonable goals, and know both your limitations. By doing this you’ll foster greater success.

  • Do not continually focus on worst-case scenarios

  • Identify what stresses you, and note your response.

  • Make lifestyle changes-become more active

  • Exercise at least 30 minutes a day

  • Make sure to eat healthy and try to cut back on white table sugar that saps your energy

  • Take time for just you

  • Try simple deep breathing exercises

  • Get outside in nature! Listen to the birds, the wind in the trees. There’s scientific evidence that connecting in nature just a few minutes a day can really boost serotonin (our happy chemicals) and lead to greater productivity

  • Spend time with loved ones-whether in person or online
