What is the hygge lifestyle? “Hygge” is a Scandinavian lifestyle that can be described as a cozy self-care kick towards a more simple living lifestyle.
What is the hygge lifestyle? If we ask visitdenmark.com they say:
“Hygge is a tricky word to define, it’s a feeling, an experience, a sensation. It means creating a warm atmosphere. It is enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm amber glow of candlelight is Hygge. Stomping through woods, wrapped up warm on a fresh Autumn day before returning to a fireside for hot cocoa is definitely Hygge. Friends and family – that’s Hygge too.”
You’ll notice that “Hygge” is a word that’s hard to translate into one single meaning. It’s a concept that comes with certain happiness as a result. Since we all have our own unique set of feelings that leads to happiness, there’s more than just one way to perform “Hygge”.
What are examples of hygge? “Hygge” is an amazing concept since it is customizable for your personal self-care needs. Let’s show you how we bring Hygge into our cozy cottage.
When the days are short and nights are long, it’s a great time to declutter, organize, and really just surround yourself with simple pleasures that bring you comfort, warmth, and light. Hygge can be as simple as lighting a candle and watching it flicker, enjoying a moment of rest and peace of quiet contentment.
Hygge is great self-care
Hygge is also about looking inward and self-care. Building routines of doing things that are good for the body and mind. Perhaps some yoga and meditation. Or reading that book that’s been on your shelf for so long. Just finding ways that feel good for the soul.
Hygge can be taking the time to make plans and work on your dreams. Starting a passion project can be so fulfilling when you get to use your creativity as you were gifted with.
Hygge is quality time with yourself or others
Hygge is choosing to spend quality time on your own or with others whether they are near or far away. Reaching out to an old friend or sending a letter can brighten someone’s day. P.S. You can buy our postcards here!
Hygge is built in the tones of your favorite songs, the scents that trigger your contentment, the aftermath of baking, rewarding your hard work with a much-deserved fika, and enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee or tea.
A year-round mindful mindset.
Hygge can be a year-round mindful mindset of slowing down to enjoy the simple comforts of the present and celebrating life’s charming moments.
We’d love to hear what this concept means to you? Maybe you’ve been doing it all along but now have a word for it or perhaps this was the start of a beautiful new friendship, with hygge.
Bye For Now,
