The pre-New Year atmosphere is everywhere: twinkling garlands on the streets, festive shop windows, passers-by bustling about in search of gifts. But what to do if the heart remains indifferent to this magic?

On the eve of the New Year, many people are waiting for a miracle and the special magic of the holiday. However, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the festive mood just doesn’t come. There can be many reasons for this: from accumulated fatigue to serious life trials.

The usual worries are supplemented by pre-holiday bustle: urgent work tasks, general cleaning, choosing gifts, planning the holiday table. The situation can be complicated by personal experiences: problems at work or in the family, financial difficulties, loss of loved ones, unrealized plans. And browsing social networks, overflowing with stories of other people's successes, only increases the feeling of one's own failure.

Remember your childhood – the time when New Year was the most magical holiday. A decorated tree, favorite cartoons, the aroma of tangerines and mom's baking. Then we did not think that behind this magic there were the troubles of adults. Now, when the responsibility for creating the holiday lies on our shoulders, there is less magic.

How to get back into the holiday spirit:

Summarize the year by focusing on positive moments and achievements

Clearing the space from unnecessary things is an ancient tradition of preparing for a new stage of life

Share pre-holiday worries with loved ones, don't try to do everything alone

Recreate the atmosphere of your favorite New Year's holiday from the past

Keep the tradition of exchanging gifts, consider giving experiences instead of things

Change the usual celebration scenario: take a walk around the festive city, arrange a photo shoot, simplify the New Year's menu

Create a playlist of your favorite holiday songs

Learn to notice small joys: falling snow, lights of garlands, the smell of tangerines

Remember that you can celebrate the New Year alone – there is nothing wrong with that. The main thing is to be in harmony with yourself and find your own way to feel the holiday.
