When we were children, we all liked the New Year, there were holidays, New Year's money, fireworks to play, new clothes to wear, and a lot of delicious food.
When people reach middle age, there are old and young, and they dare not slack off at home and work, and they are physically and mentally exhausted for a whole year. The Chinese New Year has gradually become a burden for us.
Someone said: "The time and energy spent on the New Year days is as good as the usual 9-to-5 and overtime." ”
Another person said: "If it weren't for the elderly and children at home, I really don't want to celebrate the New Year!"
Through the screen, you can feel everyone's tiredness, so from this year onwards, you might as well try to spoil yourself more and do the following 5 things to have a simple and relaxing auspicious year.
Sleep until you wake up naturally
Whether it is a mother, a full-time wife, a migrant worker, or an entrepreneur, it is a very luxurious thing to sleep until you wake up naturally.
Most of the time, we are woken up by the alarm clock, and we struggle with ourselves for a long time to get up, and there are only a handful of times when we can sleep with peace of mind.
And not getting enough sleep will cause serious overdraft to the body.
It's the New Year, so let's take a break from this fast-paced and efficient day.
The family is not a unit, there is no leader at home, and the family will not take attendance, so it is time to take good care of yourself if you slow down appropriately, and your body has been running at high speed for a year.
Even if you can't sleep until you wake up naturally every day, at least set aside a day or two to cancel the alarm and tell your family to let yourself sleep well.
You don't have to worry about how long you sleep, let your body relax completely, and choose naturally to sleep until what time is it.
Because sleep is the fastest way for adults to regain blood, the best self-restart, and the greatest maintenance of body and mind.

Take care of your mood
Usually, because of life and work, we must have suffered a lot, suffered anger, often anxious, and depressed.
As one netizen said: "365 days a year, 360 days are living in aggrieved terms." ”
Yes, in the adult world, there is never the word "easy".
But no matter what, at the end of the year, you have to leave yourself a few days to let your curled mood stretch well.
Try to stay away from things that embarrass you, and try to look down on those who have wronged you.
If you are in the mood to do something, do more, and if you are not in the mood to do it, put it aside.
Although the Spring Festival is a big festival, if you are not happy, any festival will be eclipsed.
Modern people do not lack food, clothing, or any material things, and sometimes the only thing they lack is a good mood.
Running around, always consider the feelings of others, these days of the Spring Festival, allow yourself to be willful, take care of your own mood.
When you are in a good mood, you can work hard, the Chinese New Year is meaningful, and you can take care of your family and have a really good Spring Festival.

Have time to spend more time alone
Where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and where there are many things, there are many gains and losses.
But on weekdays, due to the pressure of life, we have to deal with people frequently and run in with various things repeatedly, which will seriously deplete our spirit.
The outside world is so involuntarily, but at home, we all have a little bit of autonomy.
When you feel that there are too many people and too noisy, you might as well take a break from the busy, find a quiet place and go to be alone for a while.
Sitting, lying down, lying on your stomach, with your eyes open, with your eyes closed, listening to some music, being in a daze, watching a show, playing a game, or doing nothing and just closing your eyes and recuperating.
As long as you are alone, you are already the best kind to yourself.
Schopenhauer said, "It is only when a man is alone that he can be fully himself." ”
It's the New Year, don't be busy dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships, don't always worry about other people's big and small affairs, let yourself stay with yourself for a while.
Being alone is not only an ability, but also a choice, and it is also a buffer for our body and mind to be calm and peaceful.

It's okay to visit the door less
According to traditional Chinese customs, it is inevitable to visit relatives and visit the door during the Chinese New Year.
But now the times have changed, human feelings have changed, needs have changed, everyone's way of getting along has changed, and many people don't like to go to other people's homes, and they don't want others to come to their homes.
There was a random interview on the street, and the reporter asked people of different ages and genders who passed by: "Do you like to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year? Why?"
Nine out of ten people answered that they didn't like it, and there were two reasons for the concentration: they were too tired and didn't want to run, and they didn't know each other and didn't have anything to say.
Indeed, many relatives, although they are relatives, do not see each other a few times throughout the year, and they usually hardly contact each other.
Whatever you say is like invading someone else's privacy, and whatever you say, it doesn't feel like you're on the same channel.
Relatives and friends who are familiar and often come and go do not have to go to the New Year, and those who are not familiar with each other and have few contacts can only talk awkwardly when they go, which is a worse kind of tiredness.
Therefore, spend more time with the people closest to you during the Chinese New Year, and don't waste the little energy you have left on meaningless personal contacts.

Get close to nature
In the forest of concrete and steel bars, I stayed up for a year in the morning and returned late, and in the busy market, I ran in a hurry for more than 300 days.
The closer you are to life, the farther you are from nature.
But our body and mind belong to the soil and mountains after all.
There is a good saying: "Nature is the medicine for the involution of the city, and every page of it exudes healing energy." ”
This year, you must have accumulated a lot of bad emotions and negative energy, take advantage of the Spring Festival to take yourself for a walk in nature.
Look at the sky, look at the clouds, bask in the sun, hug the trees, touch the stones, listen to the wind and the birds, and listen to the truest voice of your heart.
You don't have to think about three meals a day, you don't have to force a smile with anyone, you don't have to worry about all electronic products, you let go of the worries and fetters of life, and you can completely surrender yourself to nature.
There, the air is free, the body and mind are relaxed, even the breath is sweet, all bad emotions will be dissipated, and you will gain an incomparably peaceful, pure, and energetic self.

Write at the end
The Spring Festival is held every year, but your health may not be available every year.
What's more, now that the living conditions are better, no one's New Year is for those who eat and drink, everyone is just trying to have a peaceful reunion.
A sense of ritual is important, but having fun is even more important.
When people are middle-aged, their parents are old, their children are still young, and there are not many people who can understand us and feel sorry for us, so they feel more sorry for themselves.
Don't push too hard for the New Year, just about it, don't let yourself get tired, and rest when it's time to rest.
I hope you can take care of yourself while taking care of others, and have a relaxed and simple New Year!
Encourage your friends!
