Hygge: The Danish Secrets of Happiness: How to be Happy and Healthy in Your Daily Life

by Maya Thoresen

You cannot have true happiness without taking advantage of companionship.

Hygge pleasure is about slowing down and enjoying the small things that you don’t have to look far to find.

When you put a desire on a pedestal and delay life in order to strive for it, it will evade you. It will never fail to disappoint. When you accept pleasure as something that surrounds you and something that you create consistently with your attitude, then you will find that pleasure is much more abundant and available than you think.

Consider how your loved ones will have to clean out your house when you pass away. The more unnecessary things you have, the more stress they will have to deal with upon your passing.

Spending too much time on yourself. Although helping yourself feel better and reducing stress in your own life is a big part of hygge, you should also make time for your friends, pets, colleagues, and family members.

It’s also about learning to love yourself and others more, and about expressing that love and appreciation, too.

Happiness should be centered around the home as a place to relax with your friends and family. It is a precious sanctuary where you can unwind and be your authentic self. All of your worries and stresses need to be left at the door.

Drama has no place in a healthy relationship, so picking your battles is critical. Being right isn’t always going to feel good when it means going to bed alone.
