How do you stay calm?

I am pretty sure every one on the board has had at least one stressful moment while planning their wedding. Disagreements with FI, family going crazy, people not sending in rsvp (or trying to invite extra people) I have read about it all. My question is what do you do to get back to your happy place? I read. I love to read anyway but if there is something that is just stressing me out I will find a book, curl myself up and and I am lost to the world. If it is really bad, I will run a hot bubble bath and read in the tub. So, what do you do when the going gets tough?

    The wedding planning has been ok so far.  We still have a while to go before our big day.  I know there will be some stressful moments.  I like to read also, so I will probably do the same thing when the stress becomes too much.  We have to remember this is our moment and we can not let anyone or anything steal our joy or happiness.

    When I become stressed out cause of planning, I take a break. Sometimes its a few days or a week or 2. I learned to pull myself away from it because when you focus so much on wedding stuff, you lose track of every other important aspect in life.....especially the actual relationship.

    Since I have a little over 4 months to go, some things just gotta get done. However, I still gotta have my mental breaks to keep my sanity!

    My calming thing is dancing. If ever I become overly stressed I just put on some music and start making up some routines.  It helps to clear my mind and put me at peace.

    If not that then I go running.  That also clears my head.

    I haven't really mastered that "calming" thing just yet. LOL I am down to 28 days and I feel tension mounting. Thankfully I do have a strong support system that prays for and with me constantly. That helps tremendously. Smile

    We really try to stay focused on what this REALLY is about ... it's not about the flash, or the gifts or even the right colors. It's about two people taking an in icredibly BIG vow to share the rest of their lives together. We've spent more time doing our homework from premarital counseling than we have discussing wedding details.

    Try not to lose sight of what the day means. Happy planning :-).
