It’s hard for adults to keep faith in miracles. It started to leave us when we first realized that Santa Claus was Dad in disguise. Then it started to go away. Gifts, too, turned out to be the result of our parents’ efforts. And over time, it became obvious that good behavior is not a guarantee of getting what you want. Parents stopped being responsible for it…
Gradually, the quest of “believing in miracles” began to become more complicated. Now parents are us. But it seems that this is where the magic straw must be found. We have the opportunity to create a miracle with our own hands. For ourselves and our loved ones.
10 tips to open yourself to the miracle

There is a good expression: don’t wait for a miracle, make a miracle yourself! I suggest you start with real magic – replenishing your resource. Despite the New Year’s Eve rush, allow yourself to rest. Next, move on to opportunities to create the right mood.
1. Take a candlelit salt bath
This is a free home spa that doesn’t require a large time or money commitment. You can surround yourself with lit candles. This always creates a magical mood. If you don’t have candles or the energy to buy them, just lie in the tub. Even without the wonderful paraphernalia, it will help to set the mood for the holiday. You will be able to relieve tension and improve sleep.
2. organize a wonderful dinner
You can bake a cake and invite the household to watch a family movie. Choose uncomplicated recipes like pouring pies so that you don’t get too tired in the process. Remember that the easiest recipes start with the word “lazy”. A warm atmosphere with loved ones will warm you up and give you a sense of stability and peace.
3. get rid of excess
Not for nothing in some peoples before the holiday there is a tradition to throw out of the windows old things. This method is good because without investing a penny, you get a sense of renewal.
Start with old clothes and shoes. If you like the process, take apart documents, kitchen utensils. Get rid of anything that is annoying. Keep what is pleasing to the eye and soul. Such small steps can be the first on the path of global change. Isn’t it a miracle that we can change our lives?
4. Hang the garland
Choose a place where your magical décor is clearly visible. Whenever you feel sad, look at the garland. This simple trick will help ignite holiday anticipation. The belief that magic is accompanied by lights lives in us since childhood. Let’s continue in the same spirit.
5. Take a walk in the woods
Forest, snow, Christmas tree, Santa Claus. What will be the next item in this associative series? Of course, the New Year. Therefore, a walk in the forest is a truly wonderful therapy. In addition, a date with nature calms and slows down. And forest air revitalizes the body better than any oxygen cocktail.
6. Buy gifts while enjoying the process
It’s easier to order everything from an online store. If you’re running low on resources, do just that. If you have the energy and time, allow yourself to walk around the shopping centers. New Year’s decor will help with the mood, and the opportunity to feel like Santa Claus will consolidate success.
7. Talk to a psychologist
Perhaps he is the wizard who will help to tread the path to a miracle. Sometimes we are closed to these opportunities because of internal conflicts and unprocessed traumas. And sometimes it is enough just to release the current tension, and the miracle will find its way.
Belief in a miracle for an adult is first and foremost a belief in oneself. But something more should not be discounted. If, despite your exemplary behavior, you do not find what you want under the tree every year, perhaps it’s just not what you really need.
I wish you in the New Year to realize your true desires and become the very wizard who will make them come true!
