Neoannophobia, the fear of New Year


Neoannophobia, or the fear of the New Year. It is very easy to dismiss those who suffer from such anxieties, but this is real to them. It is not uncommon for some people to experience anxiety or apprehension as the new year approaches. This can be due to various reasons such as fear of the unknown, concerns about unmet goals from the previous year, or the pressure to make resolutions.

If you find yourself, or someone you know, struggling with Neoannophobia or general anxiety about the New Year, here are some strategies that may help:

  1. Reflect on the Past Year: Take some time to reflect on the achievements and positive experiences of the past year. Acknowledge your successes, no matter how small, and learn from challenges. This can help you approach the new year with a more positive mindset.
  2. Set Realistic Goals: Instead of setting unrealistic resolutions, establish achievable and realistic goals for the upcoming year. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and celebrate your progress along the way.
  3. Embrace Change: Understand that change is a natural part of life, and the New Year is an opportunity for growth and new experiences. Try to view change as a positive force that can lead to personal development and new opportunities.
  4. Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, can help you stay present and manage anxiety. Focusing on the present moment can reduce worries about the future.
  5. Seek Support: If your anxiety is significantly impacting your well-being, consider talking to a mental health professional. They can provide guidance, support, and strategies to cope with anxiety and fear.
  6. Celebrate Achievements: Take time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, both big and small. This can boost your confidence and create a positive mindset as you approach the New Year.
  7. Create a Positive Environment: Surround yourself with positive influences and create an environment that promotes well-being. This might include spending time with supportive friends and family, engaging in activities you enjoy, and minimizing exposure to negative influences.
  8. Focus on the Present: Instead of worrying about the future, focus on the present moment. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, and try to appreciate the small pleasures in life.

Remember that it's okay to feel a mix of emotions as the New Year approaches. By adopting a positive and proactive mindset, you can navigate the transition with more ease and look forward to the opportunities and experiences that the future may bring. If your anxiety persists, consider seeking professional help to explore and address the underlying causes.

After initially writing them, we went to a public consultation stage and received the largest number of comments of ANY national standard produced. Next was the refinement stages where we split the standards into two sessions Core coaching – for example, BCCMA coaching course, and group exercise instructor course.
