Aug 4th 2017
Denmark has a unique lifestyle concept which originated from the Nordic countries. The concept is called Hygge. Hygge is a living concept that has become a part of life for people in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and other Nordic countries. Hygge is pronounced as “hoo-gah.” Some say that the word “Hygge” comes from a Danish word which has the meaning "cozy." But some also say that the word "Hygge" comes from a Norwegian word which means “welfare.” Some even speculate that “Hygge” may come from the word "hug." However, “Hygge” actually comes from the word Hugge in 1560, which means 'embrace.'
“Hygge” does not have a fairly specific meaning that can be explained clearly with words. The “Hygge” leads to the Nordic lifestyle that creates and provides comfort, warmth and togetherness that supports the inner welfare.
The most important aspect of Hygge is to make yourself as comfortable as possible and as free as possible. It also promotes the idea of creating togetherness and relaxation without any distress. You can feel the atmosphere of Hygge in many moments, that atmosphere combines both comfort and calmness and will be felt when you are with your loved ones. All things that create happiness and kindness in life are the essence of the Hygge concept.
Hygge has become an essential concept for people in Denmark and other Nordic countries like Sweden, Finland and Iceland. What is an example? Well, most Nordic people, especially Danes, are trying to develop the habit of exercising outdoors, relaxing and enjoying nature as a way of spending time. Those are all done routinely as they believe that enjoying nature is a healthy way of life.
Did you know that by implementing the Hygge concept in everyday life, the people of Denmark are known as one of the world's happiest countries in 2013, 2014 and 2016 under the World Happiness Report. If Denmark is chosen as the happiest country in the world, then it is a sign that the Danes have done such a great job in implementing Hygge in their life and this is what makes Denmark such a unique country.
Another way of implementing Hygge in everyday life is through eating habits. Eating in the concept of hygge means eating together with family and loved ones. The Danes always try to give themselves an opportunity to gather with their family members and share a meal together. This is because they think that the key to success, living happier and avoiding stress is to maintain a balance between life and work. When eating together, the food does not need to be prepared as beautifully as a professional chef would do. The Hygge-style food can be anything simple as long as it is consumed together with family and friends. One of the popular snacks that is loved by the people of Denmark to enjoy together are butter cookies.
