TIPS: A new method to be happy: be HYGGE

What does Hygge mean?

According to the Danish, Hygge is a concept of coziness that makes a person feel content and comfortable.

Often, hygge moments include two people warmly snuggling by a roaring fire on a cold winter's night while sipping hot cocoa or an intimate gathering of friends at someone's house for a candle-lit dinner, conversation, and light entertainment.

The fire and candles are traditional elements in establishing hygge. This tradition is likely connected to the endlessly dark Nordic winters, during which people in the past found comfort and relaxation in watching their flickering dance.
