Not tired? On the last day, how many things have to be done: and prepare a festive table, put yourself in order, and buy the missing gifts and products. The troubles lead us into an extremely nervous state. We should rejoice, en-no ... But this year everything should be different!
- Take care of yourself. Holidays - a real attack on the intestines. You need to prepare for them in advance. Spend a couple of days off. After endless feast, the kilograms will return, but later. Now it is important that you meet the holidays in good physical condition. After all, the mood is closely related to good health. The last couple of hours before the holiday is better to leave for yourself a favorite: take a bath, make a rejuvenating mask, for example, from oatmeal with milk. The outfit should be thought through and prepared in advance: put everything on the armchair or table, all the way to pantyhose and ornaments.
Soon all will not happen. As soon as we hear the phrase "New Year", it seems as though a button is pressing in our soul: it seems that the smell of a Christmas tree and tangerines will bring about a change for the better, and they will certainly happen overnight. You wake up on January 1, look around - and more money, and the apartment is new, and the man of dreams is near. It does not happen! Changes in life occur either unexpectedly (on a day not assigned in advance), or gradually. Do not forget this to avoid disappointment.
- We cook and prepare in advance. Salads can be cut for a day: the main thing is not to mix and do not fill. Meat is useful for a day to soak in the marinade - it will cook faster and taste better. Frozen dough and berries for the filling can be "painless" to lie in the freezer for at least a year. The time saved on cooking will remove from your shoulders a stone load of fatigue from cares.
- For conflicts, you do not exist! Men also suffer from stress. You are preparing for the holiday, and the husband wants a regular soup. And it begins. To you it is insulting: after all you try for all. No matter how hard, do not engage in a squabble. Do not take such a quarrel to heart. Then, after the New Year, if there is a desire, you can find out the relationship.
At the table are loving people! And the family gathered at the table. Everyone relaxed. And then ... Auntie remembered that she and her uncle had another crisis of relations. My mother-in-law released a sarcastic remark. In a firm and calm voice, say: "Today is our holiday. Let's leave all the unpleasant behind the door! "And put the conversation on another topic. And someone is no longer with us ... If in the past year you had grief and disappointment, if someone you lost, there's nothing to be done. It's normal to be sad about losses and troubles. Talk about this a little, remember a deceased relative or friend. Strangely enough, after such a conversation it will be easier to greet the most long-awaited holiday. Troubles and problems will not spoil the holiday. As for minor troubles and bigger issues, let's not focus on them in a magical night. But do not pretend that everything is fine. For 15-20 minutes before the New Year, ask everyone to part with past troubles. Give out sheets of paper, pens to each guest - let each write all the bad things that he would like to get rid of next year. And then ... Then burn these sheets, imagining how problems disappear along with the paper.
We will think up New Year's traditions. Do you have your own traditions in the family? No? Urgently need to come up! And the New Year is a wonderful occasion for this. What kind? Well, at least those that relate to the celebration. When the clock strikes midnight, invite each guest to find a note stuck to the bottom of the plate with predictions. Write them in advance as much as the guests are supposed to. All in turn can read what promises them next year.
- The best music. Psychologists are assured: nothing so does not affect the mood, like music. Hence the conclusion: take care of the musical part of the holiday in advance. Choose discs and write down your own collection. Then certainly no need to click the buttons on the TV remote in search of "something suitable."
- The festive table should smell like New Year's. Make scented citrus balls: for a few days, cut out oranges with a knife beautiful patterns and dry fruit. Patterns can be colored with felt-tip pens. In the holes made in the zest, you can insert fragrant buds of clove-tree (in common parlance - seasoning cloves), forming from them unusual ornaments.
- A fragrant beautiful mixture can be created by yourself. Mix a few fragrant fir cones, a glass of almonds, several cinnamon sticks, a handful of ginger root, a handful of dry orange peel, a couple of pinch of Muscat, a tablespoon of anise essence in a vase with high edges. Place the vase on the table. The divine fragrance of the New Year will fly about the room.
Solo on New Year's Eve. Do you meet a holiday alone? In order not to become dejected and not to become depressed, I propose to take this:
- do not complain to anyone and do not take off the phone, if possible. Congratulations and the next day you can get, but do not have to repeatedly listen: "Are you alone? Oh God, what a horror! What did not she say ... "And continue to receive belated invitations to visit;
- pamper yourself from the heart. Covering the table for one, you can buy and more expensive, and tastier, which is usually a pity to spend. And a gift! The one that you want;
- if you are friendly with the Internet, you can sit in it. For a couple of hours before the battle of the chimes run through the popular sites, chats. It is possible that you will meet the holiday in the company of virtual friends from different countries;
- if you are really bad at one, admit to friends that you have no one to celebrate the New Year. Think about it, and not invite another lonely person to visit you. Maybe it will be a colleague at work, a neighbor.
- Be reasonable. Most of us for some reason on holidays like never want to prove to everyone that they are the best in the world mother, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, wife. And for this we need strength, a lot of strength. And this eternal fear - and suddenly something is wrong ... Think about why you need it? Maybe we should lower the bar to a reasonable level? Make a plan, try to follow it, but at the same time learn to skip small things.
Now we know how to meet the new year at home.
