In psychology, there is a concept of a resource state, when a person feels happy and satisfied with life. In this state we feel harmony, calm, balance. We are full of energy and have a clear vision of our goals.

New Year's mood can be considered as a type of resource state. It arises due to associative “anchors” associated with the holiday: the symbolism of the New Year, good memories from childhood, the feeling of a wonderful holiday approaching, the anticipation of meeting loved ones and exchanging gifts.

However, it often happens that there are only a few days left until the New Year, but there is no festive mood or energy. Why is this happening?

Here are some possible reasons according to psychologists:

Loneliness. New Year is a family holiday. If you plan to spend it alone, it may cause feelings of sadness and longing.

Financial difficulties. Preparing for the New Year can be expensive. Purchasing gifts, groceries, a new outfit - all this can cause stress.

Disappointment in the past year. Failing to achieve your plans or expectations can negatively impact your mood heading into the New Year.

Uncertainty. If you don't know where you will celebrate the New Year, with whom and how, this can cause feelings of anxiety and worry.

Procrastination. If you've been putting off preparing for the New Year until the last minute, it can lead to stress and fatigue.

Feeling tired. Work, household chores, and poor health can lead to exhaustion.

What to do if you are not in the New Year's mood?

Here are some tips that can help you: don't dwell on the past, plan your New Year, don't leave preparations until the last minute, take care of yourself.

Remember, man creates miracles with his own hands.
