I just read about hygge in The Art of Happy Moving by Ali Wenzke.
Hygge (pronounced “HOO-ga”) is a Danish concept that’s hard to translate. Some people think it means “cozy” living, but the Danes say it means much more than that. So, here’s a quote from an expert, Meik Wiking who wrote, The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living:
Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience, rather than about things. It is about being with people we love. A feeling of home. . . . Hygge is about giving yourself and others a treat. It is about savoring the moment and the simple pleasures of good food and good company.
Here are some ideas to create a little Hygge in your life, from page 54 of The Art of Happy Moving:
Bake cookies
Make a meal at home
Turn down the lights
Light candles
Wear fuzzy socks
Eat chocolate
Use a soft throw
Put on some music 🎶
Invite a friend(s) over
Sit and breathe ~
And, I will add,
Keep it simple ~ ☕️💕☕️
