The first and foremost - the duration of the Christmas holidays. But this is only the outward manifestation. In fact, ten holidays - this is not so much as it seems. But a lot of. This is enough to have a rest, relax, gain strength, recover and get positive emotions. However, on the way to this problem arises of our time - the inability of people to rest. They have forgotten how to do it properly, and suddenly formed free time presenting them with bewilderment and sadness, trying to fill them at least something. But even invent it something does not work. Someone dipped in cleaning, someone just does not get up from the bed, someone is at the festive table. And only a very few remember that you can go to the theater, hiking skiing, day-trip to another city. Even just to admire their city, when the streets of the desert - this is a change in lifestyles that will help to cope with depression postnovogodny.
The second reason - lack of understanding that a simple change in the next day and night, even magical, will not bring change. Remember the tale of Cinderella: what to get your happiness, the girl had a lot of hard work. And in life: a new waiting only those who are really ready for it, who is committed to the goals and achieves this. New Year's Eve will bring the expected happiness if you yourself have done it for all that it is possible.
There is a third reason - redundancy expectations. New Year - it's really magic and miracles, it presents and joy, the happiness, and the possibility of change (which, as already mentioned, you do need a hand). However, many seek and hope to feel them immediately, from the first moment. But this is almost impossible. Most of the changes are not immediately come into our lives. but gradually, otherwise they would have destroyed before the foundation of your entire way of life - not just the part that you are unhappy, but that it would be better to leave. Even joyful changes can stun if you fall on the right. So do not expect that already the first of January you will wake up in a new house on the beach. If you want it and are willing to go to it - it will happen. Then, when you're really ready for it.
