How To Kill Cold Feet On/Before Your Wedding Day

You have been looking forward to your wedding for a while now but as the wedding date draws near, you begin to have second thoughts about it. Any conversation about the wedding no longer excites you instead it frightens you.

Thoughts of walking down the aisle with different pairs of eyes watching makes you want to puke. It’s okay. You do not hate your partner and you are not an alien. You are just nervous.

Here are a few tips that can help you:

1. Know Your Worries

Like the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire. Figure out your major concerns or what you could possibly worry about.

2. Stay Positive

If you are feeling down, do not be around people who will add fuel to the already burning fire. Speak positively regardless of how you feel deep down and talk to positive minded people.

3. Be Vocal

Whatever fears you may have, talk about it with trustworthy and supportive people. It will go a long way.

4. Pay Attention To Your Breathing

Focus on your breath, and in particular, your diaphragm. And become calm – yoga is a brilliant way to learn body awareness, build stamina to stress and remain flexible, emotionally and physically.

5. Think Of Your Partner

Recall why you made this decision in the first place. Remind yourself of all the things that make your partner awesome.

6. Rehearse Mentally

Walk through what will happen on the day, from beginning to end in your mind. Let your primary focus be on your role.

7. Have Fun

Take nothing personal and have as much fun as you can before and on your big day.

It’s not awkward that you feel tensed or anxious after-all. You are moving into an entirely different phase of your life. Regardless, live, love, laugh and bask in the euphoria of being a newly wed.
