I read this book called The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well a couple of years ago.

It was a comforting book for sure.

While reading the book, I found a lot of ways to add hygge in life and I also realised that there are a lot of things that I am already doing.

What is hygge?

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”) is a Danish concept that embodies coziness, contentment, comfort and well-being.

Ways to add hygge to life

1. Create a cozy nook.
2. Light candles.
3. Embrace natural elements.
4. Enjoy warm beverages.
5. Practice gratitude.
6. Connect with loved ones.
7. Prioritize self-care.
8. Cozy up with blankets and soft textiles.
9. Cook comforting meals.
10. Disconnect from technology.

Things I do to add/increase hygge in my life:

I enjoy my time on my sofa. The sofa isn’t brand new and it’s purpose isn’t aesthetics. When I sit on my sofa, I can feel the indentations at the right places. It makes me feel like I belong here.

There was a time when I used to light and make a lot of candles. Now, I use this candle wax melting equipment which makes my home smell heavenly and I love it.

I take time to drink my morning tea and I enjoy a cup of coffee/ green tea in the afternoon.

Sometimes I write in my journal and other times I blog my thoughts. It comforts my heart.

I watch calming YouTube videos that make me feel warm.

I cook and eat food that makes me happy.

These are just a few things that increase the comfort level in my daily life.

I also say no to things that decrease my comfort 🙂

Now, it’s your turn. Tell me what do you do to increase comfort in your daily life?
