06.01.2025 20:18

When you make a wish for the New Year, don’t expect it to come true on its own.

Dreams come true only for those who go towards their goal. Even psychologists and other materialists who are not inclined to believe in miracles agree with this opinion.

We will tell you what you should not do in the new year if you want your dreams and wishes to come true.

First, don't ignore your feelings and emotions.

Start looking at your feelings as a compass needle that helps you discover yourself and your needs.

If we continue to accumulate negatives, there is a risk of approaching December 31, 2025 with a zero result.

Therefore, it is important to be able to analyze your feelings, for which it would be better to start keeping a diary.

Secondly, don't compare yourself to others.

Modern man is forced to accept images of an ideal life.

Films, social networks, and the proliferation of bloggers contribute to this.

But this is just a picture, behind which there is nothing in reality.

Therefore, it is dangerous to compare yourself with such pictures, set unrealistic goals, and also deny difficulties and existing problems.

But the main thing is that by striving for the image of a successful person, you risk losing yourself, and to prevent this from happening, start a diary again.

You will have to write down at least three events every day for which you are grateful to fate.

It helps a lot with self-esteem, and at the same time allows you to consider your personal achievements in a timely manner.

Thirdly, don’t put off life for later

Start acting here and now.

Experts call the word “later” the main obstacle to well-being.

The first thing you need to start with in this case is to realize your dreams.

This could be a long-planned purchase of a necessary thing, a change of job or getting an education, and many other things that help change life for the better.
