Most people in the region will be able to tell you about the “origins of hygge”. You don’t have to travel to Denmark and snuggle up in the cold weather at winter to discover the value of hygge. Spending more candlelit moments in your home could be enough to take your happiness to the next level.

Though tough to explain (and even tougher to pronounce), hygge is earning a lot of attention lately.Have a special mug for your favourite hot drinks, especially when you need cheered up. I’m a big fan of these Positivi-tea mugs. Reading is a naturally hygge activity, but make it even more so with books such as The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking. I also have his new book, My Hygge Home, on my wishlist! If you are an introvert, it might feel intimidating to invite people to your home for a gathering. But don’t worry, “hygge is for introverts too”, says Wiking.

Plant and grow something of your own. It could be flowers, vegetables, or herbs on a windowsill, or have a sunflower growing contest with the kids. I have always been intrigued by the Danish people. They are voted consistently as the happiest people in the world year after year. Their method of parenting is well studied upon and there are many books that teach the Danish way of parenting. That’s because they produce the happiest people in the world. Embrace the Scandinavian viewpoint of there being “no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing” and get outside whenever possible to benefit your mental and physical health. More than just phrase, Scandinavian hygge is a way of life, committed to celebrating coziness, friendship, family, and so much more.

Taking pleasure in small things like sitting by the fireplace in warm clothes alone in your thoughts, watching the world through your window while sipping hot tea, going for a camping getaway with friends and sharing stories while watching the sunset or even enjoying the silent company of each other. Find a group activity you enjoy – could be a sport, a choir, a hobby group, or anything else. Get it in the calendar and make it YOUR time.

The length of time you have to play is something that will affect the type of game you choose. You cannot fit a six-hour game into thirty minutes no matter how fast you play. If you typically have just an hour or two, then it’s best to stay away from complex strategy games which can take several hours. In this case, opt for a game with a short playing time. Throw blankets: Whether you’re looking for a chunky weighted blanket or a heated throw, a great blanket is fantastic for creating a hygge atmosphere.Listen to some audiobooks – even better if they’re dramatised like old-fashioned radio plays. Snuggling up on a rainy afternoon with hot chocolate & an audiobook is maximum hygge! Take notice of the seasons and how they change. Enjoy and appreciate the differences of each one. This is mostly a mindfulness tip, but that’s an important element of hygge. Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are- Mason Cooley Blankets and cushions There are many Danish traditions and gaekkebrev, or snowdrop letter, is just one of them. The word gaekke means "fool". The snowdrop flower blooms during the winter and fools people into believing that spring or summer is just around the corner. Gaekkebrev is similar to a Valentine card where the sender's identity is kept a secret. The snowdrop letter is sent to another person to fool them in a warm and delightful way; fun for the sender and with a warm and fuzzy, hygge feeling for the recipient which makes them feel special. Hygge is personal and can be interpreted differently by individuals. What brings a sense of hygge to one person might be different for another. It’s about discovering what makes you feel content and peaceful.

I am drawn towards hygge because it is something that makes us inherently happy without the need to always chase something. And we chase things for what? To be happy! Danes practice hygge as a way to escape the long cold weather. There are similar practices around the world known under different names. But you don’t have to limit hygge only in the winter season. You can hygge all year round.Get outside at lunchtime to give yourself a boost with fresh air and natural light. Get some steps in, maybe do some window shopping. Anything nice to get away from your desk. Danish people give great importance to spending time with family and it is said that they have low expectations in life which makes them happy. Isn’t it true? It is when we have high expectations and when we don’t achieve them, we are angry and unhappy. Hygge is all about celebrating life’s little moments. It must be the ability to find contentment in the little and everyday mundane things, that make them the happy people they are. Introduced by the Danish to describe the joy of comfy living, hygge is a popular concept that many Scandinavian locals hold dear.
