The decoration of the green beauty is a special "mystery" that brings us closer to the moment when all desires come true - the New Year. Psychologists believe that this should not be postponed until the end of December. In their opinion, the sooner you put and decorate the Christmas tree, the more happiness you will experience even before the chimes strike.
Why is it imperative to decorate the Christmas tree
You may have noticed what emotions the sight of a New Year tree, which is installed in the courtyard of the house or on the central streets of the city, evokes emotions. Usually they are set long before the beginning of the New Year, decorated with large balls and flickering lights, she just beckons to come closer to her. And it certainly evokes a feeling of goodness, light and faith in the future. And now remember how, a month and a half before the New Year holidays, you are sorting out Christmas tree decorations, looking at colorful tinsel in large shopping centers. And there are thoughts that it's time to hang a garland at home.
The saddest thing is, when you become an adult, you find out that Santa Claus is gone. But, even having lost faith in him, matured children are able to experience emotions of genuine joy at the sight of New Year's decorations. British psychologist Deborah Serani explains this by the fact that a psychological shift occurs in the body, causing a state of happiness at the sight of tinsel and garlands. In her opinion, everything that is not connected with everyday routine affects human feelings and cheers up. And contemplation of garlands is capable of producing dopamine - the hormone of happiness. Some experts believe that looking at colored toys, tinsel and garlands is a color therapy, the effectiveness of which has been proven by numerous studies. It is the impact of bright colors that helps to get out of a dull state.
Nostalgia for childhood
Admit it to yourself, because most of the happiest childhood memories are associated with the New Year holidays. Do you remember how they brought a large and fragrant spruce into the house, put it down, and my mother took out boxes with Christmas balls, toys and colorful tinsel. Then this magical path began: from decorating the spruce to waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus. According to psychologists, a little nostalgia for childhood will have the most positive effect on the feeling of happiness. She will restore connection with the most fabulous and good minutes from the past, and give confidence that everything will be fine today.
But if the memories from childhood about this period are not the best, then follow the advice of psychologists and start decorating the symbol of the New Year in mid-December. After all, you missed this in childhood, break the established stereotype and get New Year's toys. A new tradition next year will give you completely different feelings on the eve of New Year's Eve. British psychoanalyst Steve McCoy generally believes that all New Year's tinsel is a kind of "anchor" to warm and kind children's emotions. Therefore, people try to surround themselves with any things and attributes that remind them of happiness. So the earlier an elegant beauty appears in your house, the more happy emotions you will experience in anticipation of a festive night.
As soon as a Christmas tree appears in the house, it is filled with a completely different atmosphere - there is an anticipation of something new, unusual, and even fabulous. So listen to the words of psychologists, and rather decorate the Christmas tree, at least for psychological purposes - a shimmering beauty can turn your life 180 degrees.
