Wedding Affirmations to Keep You Calm

I’ve been listening to and reciting affirmations for the last few months. But recently I started recommending that my couples join in the practice with some Wedding Affirmations. I’ve found using affirmations as a very powerful tool to start my day. So, I figured it could also come in handy to keep wedding couples calm as they plan their big day.

As we all know, words and thoughts have power. When you repeat positive phrases often, they can, in various ways, affect and make changes in your environment. In the sequence of thought-speech-action, affirmations play an integral role by breaking patterns of negative thoughts, negative speech, and, in turn, negative actions.

In short, positive affirmations do work and you can check out a study published in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience if you need more proof. Reciting or writing positive phrases help activate parts of the brain that are associated with self-related processing and reward. The same studies also indicate that positive affirmations can help build or restore self-competence.

I hear over and over again from brides and grooms that wedding planning can be stressful or overwhelming. Many also say that over time they dread looking at the details and logistics. Using affirmations is certainly one way to counterbalance that negativity and remind yourselves what the heck you are doing it all for.

Here are 14 wedding affirmations to use leading up to your big day!
