I’m just 10 days away from my wedding, and my emotions are soaring!
I feel so fortunate and loved, but the stress? It’s building up.
- How do I make table place cards?
- Wait, we want to exchange vows, right?
- Should we create a video or slideshow?
The list seems endless, and I feel a twinge of agitation. It’s supposed to be a crazy time leading up to the big day, they say, and I can feel it.
During a meditation, I came to understand that my expectation of “craziness” was making me anticipate stress.
Therefore as things come in, I labeled them as “crazy” and “stressful”.
These tasks were not the source of my stress but my thoughts about them were.
This insight changed everything.
I asked myself – “what do I want this experience to be for me?”
I had a simple answer: I want to enjoy every single moment. Fully. Embracing it as perfect, just as it should happen.
And just like that, my nerves calmed. I’m present again, centered and ready.
How about you?
Have you ever let your thoughts drive how you experienced something?
What would you like to choose for your experience?
Love,
