Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is the Danish word that describes a warm, comfortable, cozy feeling. It's about taking time away from the daily rush of work and stress and devoting time to relaxing with family, enjoying a walk in the evening, gardening, or creating a cozy space in your home to decompress.
Denmark continuously ranks among the world's happiest countries, and it's not difficult to see why. Hygge is a big part of Danish culture. The word dates back to around 1800, although older definitions can be traced back to the Middle Ages. It's about having no agenda, a quiet space with loved ones or even alone, doing something you enjoy or nothing at all.
How will you create your own hygge?
