HYGGE: change your perspective
Can you remember moments from your life that were pure bliss? Moments that convinced you that this right here, this is why we're on this earth?
Did you think of big moments like your engagement, or seeing a landscape in an exotic country? What if you could feel like this more often? What if your morning coffee became a ritual of peace?
Things that remind us about life's joy don't have to come in the big moments. Through practicing hygge, you can see the beauty in life every day. The best part is it's not complicated at all – quite the opposite in fact!
Hygge is a focus on the beauty in simplicity. It's setting aside the hectic business we so often experience in the modern world, and finding joy in small moments. It's savoring a glass of your favorite wine with an old friend. It's stepping into your garden in a still moment and listening to the snow melt into tiny streams, signaling the beginning of spring.
Hygge is stopping to take in the small, simple moments and appreciating them for the bursts of calm, peace and joy they bring to us every day. You don't need to change your life to practice hygge, you just need to change your perspective.
