Long holidays can not only give you a good mood for a long time.
In fact, they are often followed by equally lingering sadness.
Let's figure out what makes us feel depressed after the New Year is already behind us.
Why are we sad?
New Year certainly brings back memories of the magical holiday as it was perceived in childhood, with the arrival of Santa Claus and gifts.
This is why we often celebrate holidays with inflated expectations, which are ultimately not met.
There is a second problem: New Year is a family holiday, when the whole family gets together. And if you love these moments, then after the holidays are over, you may feel like the house is empty.
To avoid post-holiday depression, experts advise to give up inflated expectations about the holiday. Your well-being and mood should not depend on the change of one date for another.
Secondly, it is important to maintain contact with family and friends outside of holidays, then parting with them will not be so painful for you.
Thirdly, it is important not to take the entire organization of the holiday on your shoulders and allow others to lend you a friendly helping hand.
