Tap into Hygge for a happy winter
What is Hygge?
Hygge encourages us to reframe how we feel about our time indoors and the winter months by finding comfort in discomfort and embracing cosiness to boost our moods and make the cooler months more bearable.How to embrace Hygge this winter
Tips from Dr. Happy.
Fostering the perfect comforting atmosphere is key. Introduce warm-toned lights, candles and soft textures to evoke feelings of warmth and relaxation. Small touches like blankets, throws and pillows are also easy additions to help cultivate a comforting environment.
Without quality time with our friends and family, we can feel lonely. We need to surround ourselves with loved ones; whether it’s curling up on the couch together over a cup of tea and a movie, or even a board game night with mates, this interpersonal connection is at the heart of Hygge.
Not only can a satiating meal reduce irritability, but it can also impact our quality of sleep and energy levels. Hearty, winter-warmers rich in seasonal flavours like homestyle lasagnas or mushroom risottos are great options to bring Hygge-like joy to your stomach and tables.

Hygge is about simple pleasures and connection over good food. Through tactics like styling your dining room with tablecloths, seasonal flowers and mood lighting, we can make dinner a nightly event to regroup and reconnect over a delicious meal.
