As the big day approaches, it may seem that every detail requires your attention. But what happens when we take a break from preparations to focus on the present moment? My future husband and I discovered the power of mindfulness.
Shared Breathing
We started practicing breathing exercises together, focusing on the flow of air and the shared beat of our hearts. This helps us reduce anxiety and feel more connected.
Morning Gratitude
Every day, before we start our day, we tell each other something we’re grateful for. This simple act transforms our attitude throughout the day.
Meditative Walks
Walking in silence, hand in hand, attentive to the sound of our steps and the rhythm of nature, has become a daily ritual that purifies the mind and refreshes the soul.
Active Listening
We took time to really listen to each other, without judgment, sharing fears and expectations for our future together. It is an exercise that strengthens our bond and our mutual understanding.
Art and Creativity
Together we started to engage in creative activities, such as painting or writing. This not only takes the mind off stress, but also opens up a new channel of communication between us.
Mindfulness is not just an individual practice; it is a path that can be enriched by sharing it with your partner. The calm and inner peace found through these techniques are gifts that you will take with you far beyond the wedding day.
