Monday is usually not one of the best loved day of the week. Back to work and back to the drudgery of life for some! But if you are still preparing for your upcoming wedding, then Mondays are the best days to get things going. Start your week with something to look forward to the weekend. That is why, we asked successful brides-to-be what they do when Monday arrives and here is what most confess doing . This is not necessarily followed in a chronological order but if you must be a successful bride then learn from the rest.

 

1, MEDITATE

Even if you have to get up and prepare for work in the morning, spending some few me-minutes in bed to meditate is a big self-booster for the rest of the week. The advantages of meditation is numerous. For example, most smart brides confessed being better able to see things from a clear perspective and reason objectively on their actions.  So taking time out to reflect on for instance, why you are getting married, the good, the bad and the ugly of  your relationship, how to make things work, how to be happy e.t.c. Of course, this depends on the amount of time you have to do this, meditating on just one thought alone is enough to just set you in the right path for the day and week.

2, Check Your Check- List

Smart brides do have a check list and no, I do not mean keeping a mental note of things but having a good check list of their wedding preparation. Mondays are the best days to get an update of how far you have gone in sticking to plans. It shows whether you are lacking behind your wedding schedule and if anything, start making amends and get on sorting things out on time. Updating and checking your check-list is a step forward to knowing what goals to set for the week.

                                    

3, Communicate With Your Husband -To-Be

Communication is the key to almost everything in a good marriage and most successful brides know that so they seize the opportunity to communicate with their loved one expressing their love, concerns and keeping him in-the-know of  the wedding plans. It is also a great way to learn from him what progress he’s made towards the planning and an opportunity to solve any concerns if necessary. This gives confidence to both party that they are on the same page and nothing sets you off in a good mood than that!

4, Contact A Vendor

Mornings open up a great opportunity to contact people as they are more likely to answer your call, whats app or your BB message. Smart brides take this time out to call a very important vendor to be keep abreast of happenings and be assured that things are going according to plan. It could be the cake-maker, DJ, chief bridesmaids  or even your mother. Vendors do need these calls as it impresses upon them the need to “FOLLOW” the plan once they know you are right on it.

 

5, Start A  Beauty And Health Routine

Smart brides know the importance of looking their ultimate best on the wedding day that’s why they follow a rigid beauty and health routine so as to shine bright like a diamond for their King. Even if you have a great skin and look incredibly healthy and fit, starting up with little stretches when you wake up and getting your beauty regime have proven to be a catalyst to making  your “happy” hormones flow freely. If loosing weight is your main aim, then start acting on it right now and the mornings are the best time to get things going. One step at a time and you would get there.
