Sarah-Lou has fallen hard for the Danish concept of Hygge.
“Originating from a Norwegian word meaning ‘well-being’, the definition of Hygge issomewhat open to interpretation – at it’s simplest, it means a sense of cosiness, but this is only a fraction of it’s entirety. In practice, Hygge is a far more holistic approach to creating a sense of community, connection, and warmth; inviting closeness, and caring for ourselves & each other – it’s a feeling of balance cultivated in the spirit of ‘being’ not ‘having’, and an ethos that life should be savoured not survived…” [Sarah-Lou at lapinblu]
For her post this week, she’s suggested how creating Hygge at home can help to banish the winter blues. Out of her list of five, the one that struck a chord with me was ‘Find Your Sanctuary’, to practice ‘Hyggelig,’ meaning to comfort oneself, or to be reflective. Making time to just think is something I find particularly challenging. One thing that I know works for me is getting out of the house go for a walk. I find that I get some of my best ideas when I’m out and about, so I’m looking forward to incorporating it into my daily routine again.
