Cosy, Happy, Hygge. Who wouldn't want a life filled with gentle moments of joy and times when you feel cocooned in a loving and safe place? Usually we don't stop long enough to appreciate the power of our Lives go on from day to day, with work, children, housekeeping and a million other things occupying our brains. It's just never ending. This book can't promise to take any of the stress away from you, but it can give you a rhythm to life, and rituals to add mindfulness, love and contentment to all areas of your life. By taking all the little details of your day, month and year and adding a touch of love and thoughtfulness to them you raise them from just an action to a ritual. Small rituals, like taking time out to enjoy your lunch, add up to a cosier, happier day, a happier house and a happier you. Cosy Happy Hygge doesn't ask you to do big things to change your life, just small things with love.
I read part of this book during my lunch each day, and it was thirty minutes of pure calmness before facing another 32 middle schoolers. It put me in a a state of serenity and joy. The last half I read in bed snuggled with my dog and raspberry cocoa truffle tea. Pure heaven!
A lovely manual on how to apply the concepts of hygge to your daily life throughout the seasons and to your spaces, both at home and at work, to maximize comfort and happiness.
