Good news for stressed out brides: It's okay to feel happy and sad while planning your wedding!
Brides have long been sold a bill of goods regarding the emotional state they are "supposed" to be in during what is commonly known as "the happiest time of your life." There are so many ups and downs on the way to the altar that some brides feel there is something wrong with them when bridal hormones and stress kick their emotions around and up and down.
If only we realize at the start of the wedding planning journey, there will be stress. There may be a little strife. You may wish you eloped to Las Vegas (and you are welcome here!). But this is all part of life, exacerbated by the fact that your emotions can be on edge when dealing with such a major life event.
Next Tuesday, November 13, Steven Hodes, MD, will be addressing the topic of "The Power of Happiness and Sadness: Why You Need Both for a Truly Healthy and Balanced Life" in Manhattan at the Quest Lecture Hall, 242 East 53rd Street in Manhattan from 7 to 8:30 PM.
This is part of his ongoing FREE lecture and dialog series, "Tuesday with Dr. Steve." While it is not specifically for brides and grooms, it will be helpful to anyone who wonders if there is something wrong with them if they do not feel happy all the time!
Dr. Steve is a board certified physician with almost 30 years in private practice and author of Meta-Physician on Call for Better Health: Metaphysics and Medicine for Mind, Body, and Spirit (Praeger Publishers, 2007), in which he writes about the connections between metaphysics, medicine, and healing. He's a traditional doc with a metaphysical point of view.
Here are some of the points he will discuss:
* We live in a culture that abhors discomfort of any kind. We do not want to see it, to face it, or acknowledge how important it is. Pharmaceutical companies and physicians contribute to the belief that we should ‘anesthetize’ ourselves to any negative feelings.
* Many of us suffer under the illusion that we are supposed to be happy all the time and we’ll do anything to avoid our discomfort, pain and sorrow. As a result, we miss what it is to be truly human and truly whole. Life is made up of an array of emotions and learning to flow with them and accept them will help us, ultimately, be happier!
In this lecture and dialog evening, he promises to explore the medical and physiological explanations for our happiness and sadness, and discuss why it is essential that we embrace our low points as much as we revel in our moments of joy.
"The Power of Happiness and Sadness: Why You Need Both for a Truly Healthy and Balanced Life" will be Tuesday, November 13, 7:00 to 8:30 PM at the Quest Lecture Hall, 242 East 53rd Street in Manhattan. Lectures are free but it is suggested that you reserve your space.
