Hygge is a Danish term that means a quality of life that incorporates cozy, comfy, and contentment while living in the present moment. I was introduced to this term a couple of years ago and love practicing hygge (hoo-ga) during the Autumn and Winter months. When the Fall comes, it reminds us to slow down and live life at a steady pace. Hygge is a perfect lifestyle to embrace when you desire more coziness, comfort, and enjoyment with family, friends, or yourself.
Below I am sharing a list of ways you can implement the concept of Hygge in your daily life.
- Take a day off, stay in bed and watch your favorite shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime Etc.
- Make a nice breakfast before you go to work and sit down to eat it.
- Buy lowlights to place in your bedroom and enjoy the ambiance.
- Drink your favorite beverage whether in the morning or evening.
- Pick a weekend to do a book marathon and read your favorite book all day.
- Spend time collaging in your favorite notebook.
- Spend some family time with the ones you love.
- Invite your friends over and have a game night (intimate setting of no more than 2 friends).
- Cook your favorite dish and savor every bite.
