A little bit of Hygge is great for the soul!

After the fun and frolics of the festive period, January can be a somewhat depressing month, but it is a great time to get all of your self-care strategies into place. If you haven’t already discovered Hygge (pronounced ‘hue ga’)  I thoroughly recommend  that you have a look into what it’s all about and how you can add this to your life.

Hygge is a Danish word that describes the feeling of being cosy, comfortable and at peace with the world.

In their book, The Art of Hygge, Jonny Jackson and Elias Larsen write that “Hygge is one of those words that can’t be translated into a single word or phrase, but can at once be described as a state of being and of finding joy in the simple pleasures of everyday life – from watching the sun rise to sharing a meal and good conversation with friends.”

Think also of:

  • Scented candles
  • Cosy blankets and throws
  • Stews
  • Soups
  • Warms drinks
  • Outdoor activities to reconnect with nature
  • Enjoying a book by a log fire

…..to name a few.

Self care features in all of my classes and workshops as I am aware that the majority of us are bad at putting ourselves first, this has to change, remember self care is health care!

Have a wonderful week full of cosiness!
