The psychologist explained the appearance of burnout before the New Year
Anastasia Cardiakos, a family psychologist and psychotherapist, explained why you can get tired of a holiday without waiting for it.
In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, November 26, the expert noted that if early decorations of the city are a plus for bloggers and brands in the form of ready—made content and native advertising, then for ordinary people this may be a trap.
She explained that festive paraphernalia really helps to distract from worries, but diving too early leads to the fact that "festive emotions" are spent ahead of time. It's still a long time before the New Year, and the dopamine that should have accumulated by December 31 has already been exhausted. As a result, by the end of the month, many people feel tired and empty, and the holiday ceases to be perceived as a miracle.
The psychologist advised to arrange an "interim" mini-holiday in early December — to meet with friends or colleagues, slightly vent emotions, and then consciously "postpone" the main festive mood closer to New Year's Eve.
She stressed that the New Year should feel like a culmination, and not like a prolonged marathon, so it is important to dose emotions and save some of the magic for the main evening.
Psychologist Renata Bakhteeva told on the same day how to come to the New Year in a festive mood. The best option is to find a middle ground and start preparing from about the middle of December, around the 15th. This way you can avoid emotional burnout from running too long a marathon and maintain a sense of festive anticipation, the website writes. kp.ru . The psychologist noted that it is worth starting with general cleaning and cluttering.
