Embracing Mindfulness: A Psychologist’s Guide to Welcoming the New Year

Psychologist Sandra Figlioli-Hofstetter advocates for welcoming the New Year with mindfulness rather than traditional parties. She suggests solitary forest walks for reflection before and after the New Year, allowing individuals to contemplate their past year and intentions for the future. Figlioli-Hofstetter emphasizes the importance of rituals and mindfulness throughout the year, drawing connections to seasonal celebrations observed by ancestors. Her approach incorporates therapeutic practices rooted in rituals, highlighting their psychological benefits, as ongoing research at Heidelberg University seeks to further explore their significance.
