      Hygge Home Habits - Sebastian Berg

      ​​​​Introduction

      Take your time getting dressed this morning; read a book, make yourself some breakfast. The world can wait. – Whitney Nobis.

      There’s a good reason why the Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark, are among the happiest worldwide. That reason is called Hygge. Hygge, or hoo-ga, is a Scandinavian concept mostly practiced in Denmark and Norway, and it revolves around comfort and coziness. Over the last few years, it has become one of the most popular lifestyles worldwide, but what is it? How can being comfortable and cozy benefit you?

      Let’s find out.

      ​​What Is Hygge?

      The closest translation to Hygge is cozy. It is a Scandinavian noun used to describe a feeling of warmth, coziness, and well-being. But don’t make the mistake of thinking it is purely a trend. Hygge is a way of life. It’s mindfulness and self-care at its best, a way to alleviate stress and make you feel so much better about yourself and your life, even when the weather is bad enough to make you feel down.

      It is about being soothed, living in the moment, and expressing gratitude for everything, even the smallest things, that create joy and happiness in your life.

      You can do Hygge alone – think of a snowy evening, curled up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa – or do it with others – friends, family, anyone you enjoy being with. And while it is a way of life, it’s also about you making the opportunities, creating the conditions for you to do it, even if it’s only 10 minutes a day.

      The practice of Hygge is important at all times, but even more so when you are facing difficult or stressful times. It can help you disconnect yourself from your worries, relax, and enjoy a few moments of calm.

      Mindfulness and Self-Care

      Don’t think of Hygge as something you only do in the winter. Although it is a big part of Scandinavian life in the winters, when they only get a few hours of daylight, it should be a part of your everyday life, no matter what time of year or what the weather is like in your region. It’s not just about snuggling down by the fire on a cold night. It’s not about what your house or clothes look like or the food you eat. It’s about your state of mind.

      It's about taking time for yourself. It’s about practicing mindfulness and gratitude and spending time alone or with people who make you happy. In short, it’s about living joyfully and intentionally.

      ​​The Mental Health Benefits

      Suggesting that you should light a candle and drink a cup of cocoa to relieve depression or major stresses in your life would be stupid; it takes much more than that. Hygge is about good mental health, about doing things you know help you feel better about yourself and life. It’s about relieving your mind from daily worries and bringing a sense of calm. Some of the mental health benefits you can enjoy from practicing Hygge
