I have been burning the candle at both ends lately trying to keep up with the many hats that we wear around here; it is deep into wedding season you know. As a result, a quickly caught cold waylaid me yesterday and put me down for the count. I felt miserable, didn't want to do anything (if you know anything about me, that is NOT me!), and generally tried to fight it. I gave up around 5 pm and took a nap. Wow! If I had known how good I felt after that nap, I would have done that a lot sooner! The nap only lasted 2.5 hours, but who knew?
Why am I telling you all this? To make a point that if you are feeling stressed about your wedding, having trouble with a particular problem or person, can't seem to make rational decisions, are having trouble keeping up with a personal life, work, family and planning a wedding, take a nap!
Okay, well maybe not like that.... however, I have known brides who try to do it all and fall short with their fiancee, co-workers, or wedding plans and suddenly Bridezilla is knocking on their front door. Taking a day for yourself, a week-long break from the plans, having date night or just simply getting a good nights rest can do a world of good toward your disposition of life on the next day. Sounds too simple, but it is so ever true.
Taking care of yourself is a not a luxury while planning your wedding day, it is a necessity. You won't be effective for anyone if you aren't feeling good for yourself.
