Getting away from the usual work-shopping-trials routine helps rejuvenate your mind and soul. Take frequent (read weekly) breaks with your girl gang to let go and recharge your nerves!

Or better still, go for a short getaway with your gang if you can! Beaches, hills, hikes or spa resorts – choose your destination and go hit it. There’s a reason why bachelorette trips are the new rule among brides-to-be!
#2 Eat Healthy – Drink Plenty!

Taking care of your diet is the most important way to keep yourself happy and energized. We can’t over-emphasize the importance of fruits, vegetables and fluids in your diet! Always carry a bottle of detox water in your bag – remember, staying hydrated not just keeps you healthy, but makes sure that glow is real too.

While we don’t advice binge eating chocolate, do keep a stash handy on D-day to keep yourself awake and perky through all those (sometimes booooooring) rituals!

Hey! Hey! Keep those dancing shoes on! Dance can be therapeutic and burn those calories – so dance your heart out whenever you get the time!

But if you’ve got two left feet and you’re wondering why even try, its even more important that you enroll yourself in a fast track dance tutorial class before your wedding date approaches. After all, its your wedding and knowing how to shake it right is going to pay off at many a moments!
#4 Visualise your D-Day

We know, you’ve dreamt about your wedding day a thousand times! But it helps to talk it out and visualise it with a friend, and make a note of things that are important to you.

From your bride entry style and music, to the overall wedding decor colour scheme, from the colour of your lehenga to the mehendi vibes – just note what’s really important so you don’t miss out on these details when you go trousseau shopping or discussing things with your wedding planner!
#5 Share your Thoughts!

There’s sooooo much going on in your head before the wedding day. Sharing it with people around you (only your besties and people who can help please!) is surely going lower your burden.

Sharing those jittery feelings with someone close often helps get over them. If you’re under too much workload, share your burden! Assign tasks to your team bride and make them responsible to get stuff done – from last-minute collections to reminder phone calls to sending e-invites. After all, that’s what they’re there for!
#6 Spend Time with Family

Spending quality time with your family is something that you’re going to miss the most after your wedding! Be it your mom, dad, siblings or pet – these precious moments spent days before your wedding are always going to be close to your heart.

So get over the li’l fights and bickering (siblings duh!!) And go out for walks, dinners, watch a movie together. If nothing, then just sitting together and sipping your favourite cuppa is sometimes enough is to unwind and relax.
#7 Spa Day

Did someone say Spa Day? Oh boy!! This sure is the most relaxing way to overcome allllkkl the nervousness you are feeling. A spa session that pampers your body is always a win-win.

Not able to go out to a spa? Light some scented candles, switch on your favourite music and dip yourself in that warm fuzzy bubbly bathtub to just relaxx!

Spend some time unwinding and doing whatever you love! Reading, swimming, gymming, painting or window shopping – you know what’s your de-stress thing – so take some time out and just do it!

But sometimes, we’re just bored with the usual. Why not enroll yourself to some interesting single session workshop – a pottery session? Some gardening? Attend a musical soiree? Try something that’ll relax your body and mind and make you happy.
#9 Positive Vibes!

Surround yourself with positivity, positive people, positive movies, positive books! The more you are around positive thoughts, the more relaxed you’ll be.
