Make a date with yourself

You probably have a super-detailed checklist of wedding planning tasks in front of you, and you know your schedule of what needs to be done when. But there's an entirely new set of Must Do's that you have to take care of: planning dates with yourself.

By this, I mean you should schedule Well-Being events like going for a massage or manicure, having lunch with a friend, going to a museum by yourself, staying in on a Friday night to watch your favorite television show, whatever is fun and relaxing for you.

I say 'schedule' because when things really get hectic with work and wedding planning, you can easily forget to take care of yourself, recharge, relax and laugh. So make it a Must that you'll plan Only You events from now until the wedding. If you're months away from the big day, you may need one once every month. If you're weeks away, do one or two a week. I'm just 2 months away from my wedding, and I'm booking massages and going to movies on my own. I need it, and I'm refreshed afterwards.

So what's on your Date wishlist? Going to a new restaurant? Having breakfast by the ocean? Going to an art gallery to see a display? Many of the best Dates are FREE, so you don't have to worry about breaking your budget. Just get out of your routine and fulfill the creative side of you.
