9 ways to create hygge while studying
Hygge is the Danish concept of coziness, simplicity, happiness, and well-being.ย I like to think of it as the feeling of curling up with a good book by a fireplace with a big cup of your favorite hot tea.
Iโve recently been really fascinated by the concept of hygge, and Iโve been incorporating it more into my daily life. Since school is starting soon (and for many of you it already has started!), I wanted to make a nice list of some ways we can incorporate this wonderful concept of hygge into our lives as students!
Set the lighting. Candles and string lights are very hygge, but sometimes they arenโt enough light to study by. Dimmer and warmer lighting is best, but make sure itโs not so dim that it strains your eyes! Natural light can also be pretty good for hygge if youโre studying during the day!
Put a throw blanket on the back of your chair. If itโs chilly, you could also have an extra blanket on your lap to really add to the coziness
Have a warm drink close by. I really like un-caffeinated herbal tea! Hot cocoa is also a great choice!
Turn on some relaxing instrumental music (if you like to listen to music while studying). I really like the music by Paul Cardall in particular!
Wear comfortable clothes. Pajamas are not always the best for studying since they can subconsciously make you more tired, so wearing some more comfortable clothes that arenโt just your pajamas is the best choice!
Wear some cozy socks or slippers! I especially love wearing fuzzy socks while studying
Have some snacks ready. Baked goods are very hygge, but anything that you love eating can work just as well!
Use your favorite stationery! It can make such a difference to actually use your favorite things, and it can make studying a lot more enjoyable
Work alongside a friend or a pet, if possible. A major aspect of hygge is friendship and family, and studying feels way more fun if youโre sharing it with someone. Alternatively, cuddling with a pet can be very relaxing and cozy
