Spring Hygge
This quaratine is getting especially hard now that spring is here. The birds are waking us, the sun is shining- even in Seattle- and flowers are blooming! One of the ways that I am trying to survive this uncertain period of time is embracing hygge. This is a Danish word which embodies a life of warmth, life, comfort and connection. Now connection maybe an especially hard one to achieve during a lockdown but here are some great ways to foster a more aware life:
- open the windows and breathe some new life into a stagnant space
- bring some of the outdoors in with some fresh cut flowers, a new plant or some ready to bloom branches
- go on a walk and take the time to notice things in nature you normally would just pass by
- find what foods are in season and add them to your groccery orders
- find a space outdoors to read and enjoy the new season
- diffuse some essential oils that has bright and cheerful undertones to you
- make a self indulgent behavior a part of your routine- my favorite has been taking a bath everynight
- make something! spring is a time of new life... try something new or reignite a passion!
