The question "How to stop hating the New Year?" asked by many people. Tell me, do you really like all these sales races, the search for the perfect salad and dress, endless corporate parties, and visits to relatives? Admit it, we take winter holidays too seriously and it's depressing. It is especially hard for those who are naturally prone to stress and depression. Surviving the New Year with a smile is easy - just listen to yourself.
Necessary
Some free money for myself, the gift of persuasion, the ability to look at things from the other side, 2 hours of preparation time
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to identify what exactly makes you depressed on the eve of the New Year. Perhaps you just want to do everything perfectly and alone, and are discouraged because it does not work out. Decide, do you even want a traditional holiday with gifts, a Christmas tree, salads and outfits? If so, you will have to fight your own perfectionism. Distribute responsibilities in the family - you do not have to break into a cake in order to "make the New Year" for children and husband. A pair of balls made with your own hands will definitely not kill your offspring, and the spouse is quite capable of vacuuming the apartment.
Step 2
What if you just don't like the idea of sitting at home under the tree? We'll have to look for options, as they say, on the side. Frankly speaking, if you don't buy jewelry, expensive food and gifts, a family of 3-4 people can easily afford a little New Year's trip. Calculate the costs, and convince those around you that the trip is much more fun than the tenth transforming robot, the third sweater with deer and another goose in the apples.
Step 3
Have you thought of 2 strategies? Now work with your own attitude. You do not have to do something for someone, including because it is "supposed". Allow yourself to spend the New Year the way you want. The main reason for discouragement is that our interests do not coincide with our responsibilities. New Year is not a job, but just a little free time. Conduct it the way you want, and block even the slightest thoughts that "everything is not like people."
