30.12.2024 18:34

If you want all your wishes to come true in the New Year, you should make every effort to avoid making some serious mistakes.

Psychologists share professional recommendations – if you follow them, the next year will be much better than the last one.

Don't ignore your emotions

Through our feelings we have the opportunity to understand ourselves and our needs.

If you do not experience emotions, but suppress them, the energy will accumulate inside, as a result of which sooner or later an explosion will occur that will destroy you from the inside.

Try to master the skill of analyzing your feelings, understanding their nature and expressing them - for example, through journal entries or conversations with a loved one.

Stop comparing yourself to others

The habit of comparing ourselves with other people is inherent in many of us. But we do not know what is behind their successes, what failures they encountered on their way.

Instead, you should shift your focus to your own achievements. A gratitude journal will help you with this – write down three things every day for which you want to say “thank you” to yourself and your life.

This will help you focus on what you have and appreciate what you have achieved.

Don't put off life for later

“Later” may never come, so don’t wait until you lose weight, change your hated job, or buy your own apartment.

The first step towards your dreams should be taken now. These can be small changes: attending courses you have long dreamed of, taking up a new hobby, etc.

Ultimately, with these small steps you will get closer to the life you want.
