On New Year's Eve, people who are accustomed to believing in the inevitability of miracles are going to perform labor feats.
They make a list of things they haven't done in the last 12 months, intending to solve all their problems in one fell swoop and in the last few days.
Clinical and family psychologist Tatyana Chernyakova told Doctor Peter in an interview why this is harmful.
The "get it done before New Year" syndrome
The expert noted that the habit of “getting it done before the New Year” creates the illusion in people that life will change radically on January 1.
That's why many people set goals for themselves without paying attention to deadlines and possibilities.
Why is it dangerous?
As the psychologist noted, instead of enjoying the festive atmosphere, people fall into “New Year’s bondage.”
The hustle and bustle provokes emotional overload, and planned tasks still cannot be completed.
At the same time, people believe that by paying off all their debts and getting rid of old problems, they will start a new life.
As long as this habit exists as a source of entertainment, there is nothing to be afraid of.
But if the New Year's ritual becomes an obligation, and one that is impossible to fulfill, then failures may occur, the person gets tired and burns out emotionally.
It's even worse if you experience feelings of dissatisfaction, guilt and stress.
How to get rid of
The expert believes that such signs distract attention to trifles and a person misses the main thing.
In the hustle and bustle, truly important goals can quietly fade into the background.
Therefore, it is necessary to act consciously and clearly formulate goals, imagining ways to achieve them.
