#thathyggefeeling
We want to live a hygge inspired life. Hygge {Hue-GAH}: The art of building sanctuary and community, of inviting closeness and paying attention to what makes us feel open hearted and alive. To create well-being, connection and warmth. A feeling of belonging to the moment and each other.
Picture this, you have been on your feet, being active, for 12 straight hours. Your body is numb and you are finally done, you pull up your hair, grab yourself a glass of wine and you peel off your apparel. You grab a soft and cozy over-sized sweater, a luxuriously sweet pair of sweat pants and a pair of chunky wool socks. You barely make it to your cozy sanctuary where you plan to read a good book or watch your favorite movie while you unwind from the days activity. As your behind hits the couch and that beverage hits your lips, you experience a little body high. You put up your feet and lay down, boom #thathyggefeeling.
"One December just before Christmas, I was spending the weekend with some friends at an old cabin. The shortest day of the year was brightened by the blanket of snow covering the surrounding landscape. When the sun set, around four in the afternoon, we would not see it again for seventeen hours, and we headed inside to get the fire going. We were all tired after hiking and were half asleep, sitting in a semicircle around the fireplace in the cabin, wearing big sweaters and woolen socks. The only sounds you could hear were the stew boiling, the sparks from the fireplace, and someone having a sip of mulled wine. Then one of my friends broke the silence. Could this be any more hygge? he asked rhetorically. Yes, one of the women said after the moment. If there was a storm raging outside. We all nodded." The Little Book of Hygge. Meik Wiking.
