How your daily routine affects your wellbeing
Day in and day out, you’re repeating almost the exact same patterns.
I’m sure most of those repetitive activities are very healthy like brushing your teeth, showering, brushing your hair, eating veggies.
NDLR: whether you name it routine, ritual, habit, repetition, process, system or …. well, fill the blank, I’m talking about the same think: what you’re doing on a regular basis (almost mindlessly)
But not all the routines are made healthy and supportive
In fact, if you’re anything like me, you love helping others. Most of your daily routine is probably around how you can support, help, take care of others, manage several tasks at the same time, while you’re planning healthy meals and learning how to juggle with elephants.
You’re ready to take over tough tasks so your kids/ spouse/ significant others/ neighbours have enough time to:
- take some time off chilling
- enjoying some online gaming
- practice sports
- go to the hair dresser
- go to watch a movie
- ….
I’m not promoting you to be greedy or not supportive with your relatives/ friends but to realize that your routine (or Me time) is precious as well. And you’ve got the right (or the moral duty) to take a close look on how you spend your 24 hours.
To support you in rethinking the way you use your time, you can take a look at my 10-min way to start feeling Hygge HERE
Please, bear in mind that questioning your routines is a safe way to become aware of your own confidence.
You can be the most caring person in the world but, if you don’t take care of what makes you happy, you’ll end up drained & exhausted (without even realizing it).
In today’s “daily routine” episode, I’ll discuss:
- How to be a healthy role model for your kids
- Why mindless tasks are damaging your self confidence
- How I stopped relying on my app for daily planning
Your daily routine is on point? The best is yet to come.

No Idea Whatsoever About What Hygge Is?
Therefore, you’ve got no clue about this Danish way of life and, maybe, you’ve never even heard about that Danish word.
No need to hyperventilate. nor to worry. I got your back. 😉
👉🏻 However, if you’re already a Hygge fan, just skip this part and enjoy today’s blog post.
Still with me?
Ok.. awesome. Time to have fun.
What’s Hygge?
Let’s try to clarify the word first.
💕 It’s a feeling you can’t buy of safety, warmth, peace, calm, contentment, and everything in between. 💕
It’s a whole guide to craft a cosiness-based way of life for you AND your family based on:
🌟 cosiness,
🌟togetherness,
🌟 and uniqueness,
To me, Hygge is like a roadmap to enjoy simple pleasure, slow down, unplug, and becoming unapologetically yourself.

How do you pronounce it?
That’s certainly something you’d like to wrap your head around (at least at some point).
Yet, truth is, no one cares how you pronounce it as long as you can experience it day in and day out.
👉🏻 In short, it’s commonly admitted to be [HOO-GA].
Keep it simple and don’t over complicate the process. If you don’t get it the first time, no big deal.
Is there a Hygge lifestyle?
YES!! and without the shadow of a doubt.
Likewise, Hygge is more than just a list of things to do & NOT a decor.
🌷 quiet/ introvert? chances are you’re already living a cosiness-based lifestyle (Hygge) without even knowing it. You can model what you’re already good at enjoying that cosy, comfy, and homey feelings 24/7.
🌷 Newbie? and you’d love to implement that simple, decluttered, down to earth, ecofriendly, and comfy way of living for your family, that’s doable.
In short, it’s WHY I created this entire site: to provide you the tools, the resources, and the inspiration to turn your life into a cosiness-based living without adding stress. (Get a weekly dose of cosiness-based pep talk, join #TheHyggeLounge HERE)
🌟 It’s one thing to know what to do… However, it’s a whole new rodeo to apply or to follow through day in and day out.
Where does Hygge come from?
Denmark (but the word itself comes for Norway). At some point, in history, Norway and Denmark were one kingdom only.
For the records:
– the first mention of Hygge is circa 1840 (which means Hygge is everything but a fad trends)
– Denmark is ranking on the top 3 of the happiest countries in the world every single year!
– the tax level in Denmark is one of the highest in the world. Yet, the citizens ARE full of happiness.
—> Who doesn’t want to model what the happiest people in the world are doing to be happy, content, and joyful day in and day out? I swear I do (so does my Great Grand Mother in her journals)
Is this only a decor for Fall & Winter?
This is a common myth I MUST bust once and for all. Danish people don’t stop living 6 months of the year. They enjoy and practice Hygge ALL YEAR LONG.
As a result, they just adapt what they do. It’s easier to build a snowman in winter and it’s easier to hang out outside in the middle of Summer.
In other words, Hygge (cosiness-based lifestyle) works not only Fall & Winter but also in Spring and Summer.
Want a decor? Ask a professional to set up a stage… But, you won’t get better in a snap because you own a fireplace and tonnes of fairy lights.
To sum up, if beating anxiety or winter blues was that simple, everyone would be happy and you wouldn‘t need a medication to avoid anxiety.
(Under medication? NEVER EVER stop without a professional help. Asking for help should be your #1 priority. No shame nor guilt to seek for a better health, or a better mental clarity)
Why would you spend $$$ to revamp your living room to look like a country living magazine cover? Want to show off on Instagram?
Having a cosiness-based lifestyle is NOT a popularity contest. No mandatory list of items to buy.
The fact is, Hygge happens in a Moroccan house, a contemporary penthouse, a cottage close to the sea, a tiny house, a small apartment that looks like a boudoir, or a fancy super modern house.
Eh… you’re done with the introduction.
