Psychologists have dispelled the popular myth about celebrating the New Year: the respondents RIA Novosti experts urged not to perceive the phrase “As you celebrate the New Year, so you will spend it” literally.
So, the candidate of psychological sciences Vadim Myamlin said that he has a negative attitude to this statement, since, believing the statement, a person “catches himself in his own trap.” According to him, suggestible people think that there is no longer a chance to have a good whole year, which they limit themselves to.
Even if the holiday night was not entirely successful, it should be taken as a positive experience. “It’s enough just to admit to myself: yes, I made a mistake, but I will never repeat it. I have an incentive to mobilize my efforts, I have become more tempered,” recommended Myamlin.
Psychologist Irina Larina stressed that this phrase about the New Year may have many meanings. “If you like peace and quiet, homemade salads and funny TV shows, and you were invited to a noisy party that you were uncomfortable to refuse, then this does not mean that you will spend the whole year at the same parties. that you do not listen to your desires and needs can really affect not only the whole next year, but also your whole life, “the psychologist explained.
According to Larina, this expression is about attitude and desires, and not about “stereotypes and beautiful pictures imposed by marketers and society”.
Previously, all Russian regions declared December 31 a day off. Before the New Year, the doctor warned the Russians to have aspirin on hand during the celebration and sorbents so that there is no unnecessary intoxication and headache. She added that it is also worth preparing blood thinners, as overeating thickens it and puts a strain on the liver.
