SIX PATHS TO BRIDAL SANITY
If your brain is buzzing in a thousand different directions, take a moment, breathe, and try some of these quick ways to chill out.

BREATHE - Sit on the floor in a warm room, cross-legged, and place your hands, palm-side up, on your knees. Imagine a string connected to your spinal cord that goes out the top of your head, and lifts your upper body toward the ceiling. Close your eyes.

SOAK - Line the bathroom counter with your favorite smelly candles. Run a hot bath, and put some Enya on the stereo.

LAUGH - Do something small with your fiancee that has nothing to do with the wedding. Rent a movie, or give each other a foot massage. Talk.

DAYDREAM - Engage your hands in a mindless activity. Chop food you're preparing to cook, stuff invitations in envelopes, wash the dishes.

EXERCISE - Billy Crystal says he always does 20 pushups the minute before he goes on stage, because it dispells his anxiety. Sweat out your stress with a favorite physical activity.

MEDITATE- AND GIVE THANKS Begin each day with gratitude. Problems and worries disintegrate when you take a few minutes to be thankful for what you have. When it comes to harnessing your mind's energy in preparation for your wedding, use it, don't lose it!
