hygge (n.) origin: danish & norwegian (pronounced hue-guh) hygge, I think is an act of slow living. it's a thought, a feeling of cosiness, of warmth, of acknowledging the cosiness of the moment, of the space you're in. it can be a feeling of acknowledging and feeling happy about the slow, ordinary, breezy warmth and comfort of the moment. it is to feel intimacy with oneself, with the moment, with our life. for hygge, we don't have to have any special skills, because all we need is consciousness (which we already have) to embrace the slowness, and recognise the present moment and sit in it, play with it, get cosy with it. hygge can be felt from any activity. it can also be a verb, where you recognise and recreate the small rituals like pouring a warm cup of milk into your coffee, and seeing the soft milky ribbons slowly become one with the darkness of the coffee. isn't that such a visual treat? thinking of it makes me warm. okay, imagine this. you're in a safe space, laughing with your most favourite, warm people. mid-laughter, you just pause and feel a certain warmth in your heart, because you're so happy to be with them, you want to remember this always. that's hygge. it's something we can realise, feel, be grateful for and also create & recreate. it's very much embedded in our lives. just like love. (also, it's no coincidence that it sounds like hug. it's basically, hugging yourself, hugging the ones you love and hugging the moment.) . . . . . . .
