In each of us lives a principle concerning New Year's Eve - they say that the holiday should be celebrated in company: with family, friends, colleagues. But to be alone. Is it possible? Contrary to the existing stereotype, it is not bad to celebrate New Year's Eve alone. On the contrary, you can easily find several advantages - you do not have to plan anything in advance, throw money together, decide what to cook, think through the entertainment program, wait for someone.
If fate has decided that this year you will be most suitable for the status of alone, do not get upset in advance and trust the situation - this is a great chance to celebrate the holiday in your own pleasure.
Take a trip
Another stereotype. Most people think that this winter holiday should be celebrated at home, in their hometown. And why not pack your bags and go around the world? And there is no difference where to drink champagne - in the proud solitude or in the company of tourists somewhere in France? New places are always risky, daring, adventurous, adventurous and easy.
Just imagine: strangers around you who know absolutely nothing about you. They don't care about your job, your hobbies or your social status. You'll have a great opportunity to make a good first impression and find company for your vacation. At the end of
travel you will have a huge number of videos and photos in your arsenal, which will be a worthy addition to your Instagram profile and a source of warm memories.
If you can't make a trip abroad, you can find a European atmosphere in Russia. Does your soul demand summer? Then buy a ticket
to Sochi: instead of Christmas trees you will admire green palms and cypresses, walk along the seashore and enjoy the temperature of +15 degrees Celsius.

Wishes and dreams
Everything that is done is for the best, so don't you dare be sad on New Year's Eve. Better cook a couple of festive dishes, buy a drink you've been dreaming of for a long time (not necessarily
champagne), and do your favorite thing. Still couldn't find a free hour to watch a new movie? It's been a while since you've done a craft? Couldn't get your hands on that book you bought? The time has come. Feel the high of a magical night, comfortable silence and your favorite activity. Write a letter to the future, make yourself a present.
The tradition of giving yourself a gift is a very good one, because often we ignore our own needs in favor of others.
Buy something you've been eyeing for a long time, walking past storefronts or taking a long look at on an online store's website. Sit down, record a video message/write a letter to the future, and stash it away until next year. You can write/tell what you are working now, how you feel, what countries you dream of visiting, what important things are happening in your life.
Believe me, when you receive this application in a year's time, you will be surprised. You will find that you have found a new hobby, managed to change two jobs, learned to make real Japanese rolls and ran a marathon. When you remember how you created this appeal, there will be motivation and inspiration. Reflect.
We suggest starting the New Year with a clean slate in the truest sense of the word. Take a piece of paper, a pen and describe all your innermost dreams. Then you can make a Wishlist and visualize your happy future in detail: perhaps you would like to move, find another job, change your image, buy an apartment, visit several new countries or cities.
Do not be constrained, fantasize: let all the wishes, even those that seem strange or impossible to fulfill, find their place in your list. After the wishes are over, pack the Wishlist in a bright box and hang it on the
New Year's tree - let it delight you with its beauty and brilliance, inspire you to new achievements. Stay at home.
Have a home party
Every introvert's dream. Choose a couple of your favorite New Year's movies for the evening, be it "The Irony of Fate" or "Home Alone", make yourself a festive menu. Shop for gourmet foods, cook something you haven't eaten in a while, or if you don't feel like cooking, order takeout. Whether it's pizza or a gourmet delicacy from a restaurant, everyone's tastes are different.

Enjoy the company of yourself and just relax. When else can you get such an opportunity? Make wishes, think good thoughts and take it easy. Go to a bar or take a walk around the city center.
Even if you've never been alone in a cafe before and think you'll feel awkward, we'd like to convince you otherwise: New Year's Eve is the most informal night of the year. No matter where you end up, you'll still find yourself in the company of happy and carefree people and make many new acquaintances.
For those who do not like noisy companies and prefer to spend time outside the walls of restaurants, there is another idea: you can pour tea in a thermos, take Bengal lights, clappers, masquerade masks and go to the city center.
The square is usually full of people having fun, getting to know each other, taking selfies and lighting Bengal lights to wish each other happy holidays. The atmosphere here is truly magical, and most importantly, no one feels alone.
We can summarize with a short phrase: "New Year's Eve is a great chance to get to know yourself a little better."
