New Year's mood does not appear just like that. You need to make a little effort to feel the atmosphere of the holiday and get charged with magical emotions.
Someone on Twitter wrote: "If you do not feel enthusiasm and emotion about the coming of the New Year from year to year, humble yourself, this is your New Year's mood." But we believe that it is possible and necessary to tune oneself to the holiday. Perhaps you are simply too worn out and tired, so you cannot stop for a while and immerse yourself in the New Year's magic. We know what to do to feel the holiday.
Clean the house and get rid of the trash
Agree, not the most exciting thing to do. But cleanliness in the house greatly affects our psychological state, it is not without reason that there are traditions of throwing out old stuff before the New Year. By getting rid of trash and dirt, we also get rid of heavy thoughts.
Relax and put unnecessary thoughts out of your head
After cleaning the apartment, you should thoroughly clean your head. Free yourself at least a few hours on a weekend or weekday evening to sit in silence and reflect on what was good and bad in the past year, and let go of thoughts that spoil your mood day after day. If you can't retire at home, then at least arrange for yourself solo walks for 15-20 minutes a day, during which you can reflect.
Put a Christmas cover on your phone
And also set a New Year's ringtone and winter wallpapers on your desktop, even if it all seems silly and frivolous to you. After all, the New Year's mood is just that, stupid and frivolous, when, as in childhood, you can enjoy all sorts of little things like flickering lights of a garland.
Dress up the tree and decorate the house
When the house is clean and your thoughts are hopefully more positive, it's time to start decorating the house. Be sure to involve your family: these are precious hours of communication and common activities that you will all enjoy.
Just remember that these wonderful moments can be poisoned by unnecessary perfectionism. You are not participating in the competition for the perfect Christmas tree, so why swear until heart-rending screams if someone from the household hung the ball in the wrong place.
If you live alone, you can decorate the house yourself with New Year's movies and music, or invite your friends to the New Year's pre-party. Light snacks, champagne, tangerines, joint drawing of a deer on a window pane - and now the New Year mood has crept up unnoticed.
Write a letter to Santa Claus
Another children's fun that is very useful for adults. After all, it is not necessary to ask your grandfather for a Mercedes in a new body without any hope of getting it. You can share your experiences with him, tell him how you spent the outgoing year and what you would like to achieve in the coming one. By writing down your thoughts, you structure them, and a plan of action is born from the stream of thoughts.
If you don't feel like writing such a frank letter, then remember some funny or touching New Year's story that invariably evokes pleasant emotions in you. While you are going to tell it in detail in a letter, remember everything again to the smallest detail - your mood will improve!
The letter can be sent in the old fashioned way, by dropping it into the mailbox, or in electronic form - this way you will receive a response much faster with New Year's greetings.
Meet your friends
On New Year's holidays, someone will leave, and someone will spend them with their family, so the days before the New Year are a good time to get together in a friendly company, remember the events of the outgoing year and, perhaps, even give each other gifts.
Watch New Year's movies and listen to New Year's songs
Psychologists have been practicing film therapy for a long time. Watching films and discussing them help us to realize and rethink ourselves and our goals, feelings, needs, develop the ability to sincerely express feelings and form positive thinking.
So assign yourself a New Year's Eve therapy: start the morning with New Year's songs, and in the evening, be sure to watch a New Year's movie.
Try New Year's goodies
In coffee houses, snowflakes and rain hang from the ceilings, the appropriate music plays, and the menu must have exclusively New Year's offers like gingerbread cookies. Dedicate half an hour to delicious desserts and immerse yourself in the New Year's atmosphere. In order not to waste time in vain, you can make lists of gifts for loved ones.
Walk around the city
In some places, festive trees were set up at the end of November. And now cities are already delighting with full-fledged New Year's decorations: garlands on trees, figurines of deer and other New Year's characters, snowflakes and balls on store windows. Dress warmly and go for a walk. It will be especially lucky if there is light frost and snow on this day.
Enjoy the smart city, drink hot tea or mulled wine at the New Year's fair, go ice skating next to the central Christmas tree.
These entertainments are available to you only in winter, I would even say, only in December. Even on the January holidays, they will no longer be so funny and emotional. Don't miss the moment.

There is still time to slowly and thoughtfully choose gifts so as not to buy some nonsense on the morning of December 31st. Madness is already going on in the malls and, as the old joke goes, you run the risk of being killed by your aunt's cart, which is in a hurry for the green peas. Therefore, to visit stores, choose an unpopular time: weekend morning, or even better - weekday morning, if the work schedule allows.
And, of course, without the hustle and bustle, you can choose gifts in the online store. To create the right mood for yourself, turn on a New Year's movie or music, light garlands and candles in beautiful candlesticks, pour a delicious hot drink and enjoy the choice.
Pack your gifts
The recipient will be pleased to remove the beautiful wrapping paper, and you will be charged with a new portion of New Year's emotions while you wrap gifts and decorate them with fir branches and other New Year's attributes.
We are sure that after reading this article, you have already felt a light touch of New Year's mood. Try to hold on to it so that this New Year becomes truly magical for you and your loved ones.
