What Hygge means?
You might pronounce right or not the word Hygge, but the most important thing about it, it’s the meaning of the word “Coziness”, but it can mean a lot more than that.
Hygge is as Danish as æbleskiver and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. VisitDenmark.com
The meaning of Hygge is to create a warm atmosphere and enjoy the good things in people’s life. You don’t need to wish for luxury or expensive things around you to enjoy your life, neither to live in an eternal Spring weather place to enjoy life.
Lo live a hygge life means to enjoy the moments you live with your family and friends, you don’t need to do anything special to enjoy a good moment.
Light up a candle and enjoy a hot tea cup, sit down for a good talk with a friend or a family member, keep your home warm and cozy, that will be all you need to create a good atmosphere that will help everyone to enjoy the moment.

I know by myself, it’s not easy to spend most of the time indoors during those long and cool Canadian winter months, and it won’t help me to be happier if I spend all the time about taking a plane and fly this season to Mexico or somewhere else like Argentina or Chile.
It’s better to work on a list on your Bullet Journal and write down all the things you can do while you spend this time indoors. Hobbies are a good help to spend your life indoors while creating something beautiful and useful.
Make a list about what would be a good idea to try and what materials you will need for it. Maybe you will discover you’re good at certain things, and it will bring you some excitement while you learn how to do it and how to master at it.
Here are some ideas of Hobbies you can try this Winter:
- Drawing
- Knitting.
- Crochet.
- Reading – writing.
- Journaling.
- Coloring.
But there’s also some hobbies you can try to do outdoor during the Winter:
- Hiking.
- Skating.

And most of all enjoy coming indoors after being outdoors doing some winter sports.
Company.
There’s nothing better than spending sometimes with your family members & friends to create a Hygge life.
There are many activities you can do with them and you all will spend great time together.
- Share meals. Meals don’t need to be expensive or elaborated to be good meals to have with your family and friends.
- Casual gatherings. No need of formal dinner at your place, Get together with a few friends and enjoy some snacks and a good hot cup of coffee or tea will create a moment to keep in your memory for a long time.
- No politics, the world has turned into a complicate place, to live a Hygge life, no politics please, and no other topics either.
- Card & board games – You don’t need to be a kid to enjoy a good card or board game, Make a list of your favorites and get them home before the Winters gets here.
- Value each other – We all people are different, and we all have good and not so good moments, but it’s better to see the good on each other and enjoy the good moments.
A good idea would be to have a Good Moments List spread on your Bullet Journal and write about that moment you enjoyed, if you can get some pictures to add to this list, it will help you to read and look at it.
Mindset.
Most important that everything is to create a mindset that will help you to make the best of those long and cold Winter months.
