My husband and I took today off since we had a weekend out of town! I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s destination wedding in Florida on Saturday! It was absolutely gorgeous, and I love the Pompano Beach area!

I had a lot of anxiety the week leading up to this trip, as well as on this trip. I was upset that I let myself get sunburned and then felt bad that I didn’t stay out as late as the rest of the bridal party, but I needed to sleep and hydrate to be ready for the wedding. The night of the wedding we also didn’t stay out as late as everyone else, but that’s because we had to be at the airport at 5am the next morning.

When I look back, I was really letting my anxiety get the best of me. I was overthinking and ruining the present, joyous moments, when in reality, none of that mattered. I was there to support the bride and help where I could. The rehearsal and wedding went smoothly, and we all had a great time on the yacht! Although I had some anxiety and got hella sunburned, overall we had great trip!

I had a session today with my new therapist, and we are gonna work on baby steps of making me become more flexible with my life. I tend to get very rigid with things and I am very “all or nothing” sometimes, and I want to be able to let go of that and focus on what really matters. I have a beautiful life, and although times get tough and anxiety gets high, I know it’s always temporary.
