How to get yourself in order and restore your strength?
Do we feel irritated or even angry? Amazing. Let this feeling be, develop in its natural course, observe it, do not delay it, thereby allowing yourself to “process” it. The main thing is not to hide these feelings within yourself.
There are a huge number of simple and at the same time accessible ways with which you can put your condition in order.
1. Running or any sports exercise suitable for you.
This should be any exercise that involves some muscle tension and movement. The fact is that, relatively speaking, your emotional tension during such activities turns into muscle tension and is thus discharged. In the process of bodily tension, you stop holding back your feelings and conditions arise when they begin to manifest themselves, and when manifested, they allow the body to come to a more natural state.
Relatively speaking, when you start running, you may suddenly have negative experiences, such as irritation, anger, apathy, etc., and you may remember any events that carry an emotional charge. This is what is needed. This means that the process of liberation from them has begun. You just need to live, feel, “work through” everything you feel. There is no need to force anything or remember anything specifically. Everything you need will emerge on its own. You have created the necessary conditions for your body to bring itself into harmony.
And, of course, the most important criterion is the feeling of pleasure and renewal after playing sports. The feeling of satisfaction just shows that the body has brought itself into a state of harmony.
Everyone needs their own time for such activities. For some, 10-15 minutes is enough, for others, 30-40 minutes will bring real effect and satisfaction. The only criterion for correctness is your condition.
2. Keeping a diary.
This is a very interesting way to get yourself in order. You take a piece of paper or open a notebook and write whatever you want to write. This could be either an event that left you with one or another aftertaste, or your current experiences, or maybe you want to say something that you could not say to another person for some reason.
If this is an event, then you just need to describe it as if you were telling it to a close friend, noting the feelings and sensations that it caused you.
If your experiences are not related to any specific event, then simply describe what you are thinking and experiencing at the moment. Write down your current thoughts and experiences, no matter how incoherent or absurd they may seem at first glance. If these are groundless worries, then write them down as many times as they come to your mind. Each time they will lose their strength. However, this requires several more conditions.
First, you need to completely focus on your current experience, on what you feel “here and now” (so that no one pulls you and so that it doesn’t turn out that you are writing about one thing, but thinking about how it would be faster to finish it and take care of business). You need to take some time for yourself and relax. And secondly, it is necessary to strictly dose the time of such work, for example, no more than 10-15 minutes. Then your experiences will be weakened.
Of course, if you are describing a specific event, then there is no need to set a time frame. You work until you feel that you have “processed” the experiences you had. In the process of such work, your attitude towards the events described will probably change, new thoughts will come, you will be able to rethink and reconsider something in your life.
And again, the most important criterion is the improvement of your well-being and mood.
3. Walking.
This method is somewhat reminiscent of playing sports, but has a milder effect. You just need to walk through the forest, park, street, without thinking about anything in particular. The very rhythm of your steps will create a special state in which you will calm down, and there will be an opportunity for the body to regulate itself.
The most important thing is, of course, to walk with pleasure. This may take much longer than other methods - from 30 minutes to several hours. Again, you can determine it by how you feel. Surely you will remember some events, situations or current affairs, and the rhythm of your steps will help you think about it philosophically, and not hastily, with worries. It is in this mode that it is easiest to calm down, rethink something and allow the body to regulate its condition.
4. Observation of your experiences.
This is a whole class of methods that are used to restore strength. These include various meditative techniques, autogenic training, and many other methods, the description of which can be found in numerous literature.
In the simplest case, you just sit down, relax and begin to observe the thoughts that come to you, without dividing them into necessary or unnecessary, good or bad. Allow any thoughts and experiences to be present without driving them away. Then your mind calms down, and after a while you come to a state of greater balance. By observing your experiences, you help yourself to cleanse yourself of everything unnecessary.
Of course, for these methods to produce positive results, some training and patience are required. You need to test these methods and select those that suit you best.

Action plan on how to get yourself in order in the New Year
New Year is a special holiday in every sense. And at that moment when the chimes strike, you really want to look irresistible! However, fuss and lack of an action plan can overshadow the evening. We offer you a “beauty schedule” for the next four weeks. By following it, you will meet the coming year of the Blue Goat in great shape and in great spirits.
Four weeks until New Year
The first thing that comes to mind in terms of preparing yourself, your beloved, for the New Year celebration is getting your body in shape. Exhausting your body in the gym if you are not used to such stress is clearly not worth it. It would be better to change your diet. We suggest adjusting your diet: eat small portions, but often. We drink enough water. We give preference to healthy foods, and in the evening, instead of a hearty dinner, you can drink a glass of low-fat kefir. A worthy alternative to the gym is regular exercise. In four weeks of such exercises, you can not only strengthen your muscles, but also lose a couple of unnecessary pounds without making Herculean efforts. The main thing is the training regime. Remember that an excessively rich holiday table awaits you ahead, and during the January holidays you will eat quite a lot, so you need to start helping your body now.
Three weeks until New Year
Make an appointment at the beauty salon in advance. A couple of weeks before the New Year, this will be very problematic. Take care of your hair: in three weeks you can restore the health of your hair with the help of regular masks and express conditioners. Visit a cosmetologist. In the days remaining until the New Year, you can try the effects of some injection procedures (such as mesotherapy or biorevitalization). The effect of them lasts for a long time, and the unpleasant consequences of such procedures (for example, redness or marks from injections) will have time to pass by New Year's Eve. The mesotherapy procedure is offered by many salons in Barnaul. Cost - from 2000 to 7000 rubles. The cost of the biorevitalization procedure at the Leon Beauty and Health Center is from 4130 to 7200 rubles.
Two weeks before the holiday
The minimum program for the next couple of weeks is daily face and body care. Morning and evening - cleansing, toning and moisturizing (or nourishing) facial skin. You can make your own facial scrub at home. Take one part of dried coffee grounds or ground coffee, 3 parts of natural yogurt, sour cream or heavy cream. Gently rub into facial skin for two to five minutes, rinse thoroughly with water. Salon body treatments such as thalassotherapy or stone therapy (the cost varies depending on the time and set of procedures - from 1300 to 2500 rubles in SPA) will help relieve the stress of the last month of the year and charge you with positive emotions, which are very necessary in this hectic time. Several sessions of lymphatic drainage massage (800 rubles for a 60-minute procedure in the SPA) will tighten the skin, relieve swelling and remove toxins.
Weekly readiness
There is a week until the New Year. We hope you have already decided on the meeting place and company. The main pre-holiday bustle begins: cleaning cabinets, decorating the home, creating a New Year's menu. But in this chaos, don’t forget about yourself!
Face. A week before the New Year, it’s good to cleanse your face. It is better, of course, to see a professional cosmetologist. It is better not to delay the procedure, since a week is the optimal period for the consequences to “go away” from the face. For those with normal to dry facial skin, without enlarged pores or comedones, instead of regular cleansing, you can do an ultrasound three days before the event. This type of cleaning is more gentle and does not leave irritation. The procedure for atraumatic facial cleansing based on Israeli Holy Land cosmetics can be done at the Laguna Center for Aesthetic Medicine. The cost of the service is 1700 rubles.
Hair. You can update your haircut a couple of days before the New Year - provided that you get your haircut from your own, trusted hairdresser. If you are thinking about changing your hairstyle, experimenting with shape, length, or changing hair color, it is better to start a week in advance. Then, if you don’t like the result, there will be time to fix everything.
Unwanted vegetation. You can get rid of unwanted hair a day before the New Year - provided that you regularly do hair removal. The skin is already used to it, and at the X-hour, irritation will not make itself felt. A day before the holiday, with the help of a specialist in the salon, you can “create” a cute New Year-themed bikini design. If you decide to remove excess hair for the first time, sign up for treatments three days in advance. This will save you from the mental frustration of skin irritation after waxing. Waxing in the Exclusive beauty salon costs from 150 to 700 rubles, for sugaring you will have to pay from 150 to 1200 rubles.
Eyebrows and eyelashes. For the New Year, it would be a good idea to tint your eyelashes and correct the shape of your eyebrows. This should be done at least two days before the celebration (to avoid irritation and redness of the skin on the occasion). If you decide to get eyelash extensions for the holiday, this needs to be done 2-3 days in advance. You will get used to “wearing” them and, when you go on vacation after the New Year’s celebration, you will not leave your beauty on the pillow. You can get eyelash extensions and eyebrow correction in almost every beauty salon. Average cost in Barnaul: 600 rubles for eyelash extensions, 110 rubles for eyebrow shaping, 150 rubles for coloring.
Hands. In winter, many people have dry and chapped skin on their hands. The true salvation is paraffin therapy (the average cost of the procedure in Barnaul is 300 rubles). Try it! The skin can never be so soft, smooth, and perfectly tender after any procedure! For an ideal result, you need to follow a course of 5-10 procedures every other day. But if time is tight on your New Year's Eve schedule, put it off for the holidays. In the meantime, remember the proven method: lubricate your hands with rich cream at night and wear cotton or plastic gloves. This can also be done in the evening of December 30th. If you wear extended nails or are planning to have them extended, you will first have to get a manicure, and the next day you will have to do correction or extensions. It is better to plan this procedure three days before the holiday.
Legs. You can lubricate your feet with a rich cream at night, and then put on socks. A pedicure can be combined with a manicure a couple of days before the holiday. On a holiday, you can only renew the coating if for some reason it has lost its appearance.
Teeth. Have you long dreamed of impressing your friends with a white-toothed Hollywood smile? You can use a teeth whitening system at home. It consists of a special dental composition and a thin silicone mouth guard. You can use this system at any time of the day, but it is best to wear the mouth guard at night. The effect will appear within a few days.
Within 24 hours. Getting enough sleep, covering your nails with bright varnish, shaping your eyebrows, doing beautiful makeup and hair styling are the tasks for today. The main thing is not how many new delicious dishes will be on the festive table, but how fresh and rested all the participants of the festive evening will be. Throughout the day, create a festive mood with music. Time will fly by twice as fast, and you won’t even notice how you will find yourself at the festive table with friends and family. Smile, you are beautiful!
Pay attention to appearance
Your mood cannot be called good, is it worth spoiling it even more by looking at bruises and swelling under your eyes? It's better to get rid of them. Make it a habit to use quality patches for bags under your eyes. If there are none yet, freeze the chamomile infusion and wipe the skin in the area around the eyes with this ice cube. You will feel a pleasant chill, wake up faster and be completely satisfied with yourself.
Another nuance that can ruin an owl’s mood is the sight of greasy hair. Knowing that you won't have time to wash your hair, make preparations the night before. If this fails, keep dry shampoo at home or wash only your bangs. This procedure will help you quickly get into shape.
