Do you struggle with this long, cold, dark month? I used to feel the same way, until I read more about Hygge and finding the cosy. Instead of seeing this month as dull, what if, like nature we use this time to restore, nurture ourselves, rest, relax and take comfort in the quiet cosy moments.
Instead of feeling cold…what about wrapping up in cosy accessories and heading outside for fresh air and exercise, then coming home to your cosy nest for warming dishes and a hot drinks.
Instead of hating those dark mornings and evenings, why not add mood lighting and candles to your home and create a relaxing sanctuary.
And whilst money might be tight after the fun and frolics of Christmas, there are lots of things to do this month to restore your energies; snuggling under a cosy blanket for a movie night, heading to bed early and catching up on sleep. Taking long baths, making delicious meals and catching up with loved ones over a coffee or having a games night.
