Get hygge with it!
Hygge is sometimes translated as “cozy,” but a better definition of hygge is “intentional intimacy,” which can happen when you have safe, balanced, and harmonious shared experiences. Sitting in front of a camp fire would qualify. Or settling in to watch your favorite Netflix flicks.
Researchers have understood that embracing coziness and life’s little pleasures an improve overall happiness. When you are cozy and comfy, you often time are in a mood for gratefulness. Being grateful andmindful is great for our souls!
Nowadays, hygge has taken the world by storm—Amazon now sells more than 900 plus books on hygge, and Instagram has over 3 million posts with the hashtag #hygge. Cleary, people are seeking ways to be more happy these days.
The benefit of Hygge
Why? Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute and author of “The Little Book of Hygge,” believes that this Danish concept is likely the reason Denmark is the happiest country in the world according to the UN’s World Happiness Report (and also the happiest country in Europe according to the European Social Survey). We focus on the little things that truly matter, including spending more quality time with friends and family and enjoying the good things in life.” Says Wiking.
In order to enjoy a comfy atmosphere, you must eliminate clutter and create a mindful home. It is much easier to take time to meditate and feed your soul in a clutter free environment. It’s all about creating a mindful space.
