Oh its quite normal to be nervous or anxious and you are not alone. Any important or a memorable event in life can make one nervous or anxious and one might even be impatient, enthusiastic & energy filled with fear of “nothing should go wrong”.
These should be taken positively and should try to amalgamate your body, mind & soul into an collective process of planning, communicating & organizing even the smallest of the details involved and nothing should be left to chance.
Such memorable events will need your physical & mental attention both, while draining you of your energy in advance before the event. But remember, self care is an art and science. You are the most important person for the vent and your body – both physically & mentally should cope up.
Very organized planned events never add to our anxiety. Delegate the works and decentralize the activities and share your roles and responsibilities with trusted friends and relatives. Be focused on your role and your presence in every moment of your joyous parts of life especially like your first date or a marriage.
Expecting too much from any event may lead to gaps when the event or the plan is not upto your satisfaction. Marriage is a institution and has a lot of relationships to be managed with all attention and care. First – you yourself should take care and be relaxed and prepared for the moments to enjoy every second as these are times that cannot be brought back.
Lets focus on the hero, the you, the man of the event. Before a month or two practice a regular physical routine, to keep your self physically fit for some excessive bodily demands. Body alone is not going to help you and so you need enough mental peace and cool to experience the joy. So practice some meditation regularly for some months before. Body, mind & soul all should be in sync.
Many a times the anxiety spoils the mood of the people involved in the relationship. Communication can help you acclimatize to the new environment. Any new relationship in life brings new expectations, new demands, new needs and unknown turns as people come from different walks of life and join together on a common path ahead.
Nervousness before an event, can be because of lack of clarity, not having a plan in place, who is doing what and how things should be done. In general some people will remain anxious on a daily basis. This may be due to their social environment or work environment too. Life presents with various challenges leading to increased work load, increased personal attention on some people taking your time and energy that could make you irritated.
Staying cool, remaining focused & having a good balanced nutritious diet along with some physical & mental exercises can always ensure a stress free, anxiety free, tensionless performing individual ready to express well and impress his loved ones.
If you are getting married, you groom yourself physically, you select your outfits carefully and plan your gifts to your loved one, right? The same way pls prepare yourself for the physical, emotional and mental demands too by adopting some practices in food and lifestyle.
Being present in the moment will need your full attention in the place of your presence and its called the “Presence of mind”. Having a good presence of mind enhances your enjoyment, for which you have been waiting for long. Good cognitive abilities to observe the surroundings & react accordingly is one ability to display your liveliness and your involvement in any event or function.
As you have expectations from your loved one, they may also have some expectations from you and when you don’t live upto their dreams or expectations, on day 1, they might get upset and you would not like to start a relationship with any negative first impression.
