    i find this so interesting because I can parallel it a little to when english speakers use 'wholesome' to describe certain enjoyable moments/foods/interactions - my german speaking friends told me there's not a succinct translation for wholesome, and obviously that goes both directions when terms they have don't translate well to english

    Fantastic video. I have just come back from a very grey Copenhagen. It was incredibly misty on Saturday and I have never seen so much city mist. I don't know how often it is that bad, but Copenhagen was still wonderful and it was great to see all of the clips of places that I recognised in your video. What I do know is that Denmark seems so organised and smooth compared to how things are in the UK. And the Danish people are so wonderfully helpful and polite.

    I would have liked to have heard more from your hygge expert 😀 "The Little Book of Hygge" definitely started a publishing trend! I was in a bookstore before the pandemic and realized they had a display of 10+ books on hygge, lakom (Swedish), ikigai (Japanese), and similar topics. My favorite title was "Päntsdrunk" on the Finnish "art" of relaxing by drinking alone, at home, in your underwear; although this may not have been entirely serious…

    This video was very helpful! I discovered hygge as a 'concept', 'philosophy', 'lifestyle' several years ago.
    After watching your video, I realize there is no striving involved. I think us Americans like to live fast and strive for things. So of course we would strive for hygge! Lots of people have made money off of the concept and still are. Which I agree is brilliant! 😂
    It is funny, after watching I realize I and most people I know hygge without realizing. Like you said, we just use different words to describe it.
    Great video! Thanks for sharing!

    After reading few books on Hygge and watching videos about it, I will not lose myself in providing or finding correct definition. Instead, what you explained it here, I found out that I was doing it from a very long time.
    Enjoying simple things, like having tea alone at night, eating a quiet lunch, walking while listening music, writing something, talking with my family, curling in blanket and reading book
    these all things makes my mind relax, and I feel peaceful. When I find stress in life these few things make me peaceful. But recently since I married, my hygge is seen as something nasty. I am accused of wasting time and being lazy or careless, I am constantly attacked on my hygge and this breaks my heart and I feel mad that this simple concept is not understood.
    People who read this completely thank you for bearing this. Anyone can go on and burn themselves in earning money or simply talking thinking non stop about less material things in life. But this hygge can do one thing- balance your brain in this crazy world.

    • @Casperbager333
      @Casperbager333 3 роки тому +4

      Your absolutely right. HYGGE means anything that makes you feel good. Like drinking tee alone, or being with people. The word basically means "i feel good inside, while i do something i enjoy whenever its with or without others. What im doing/ did, i have/had a good time with" - Sincerely a Dane.

    Hygge could also be described as living in the present moment / living in the now. And appreciating a moment fully.
    In certain countries, stress is a lifestyle. Anxiety is the norm. When everybody around you is stressed and anxious, you don't even notice the constant noise. Or the constant criticism.
    For me, hygge is turning off the noise and appreciating a moment. Sometimes this means noticing the way light falls on a corner of your home. Or appreciating a bite of food. Or holding your pet and feeling the softness of fur.
    Whatever sensations that you normally can't get in touch with when your head is cluttered with fear and stress.
    I'm sure that as you've said - the social security in Denmark is a big part of why Danes are able to feel those present moments more fully.
    I've felt this the most in the Caribbean though. Languid, enjoyable moments.
    In the U.S., whole cities are stuck in 24/7 anxiety mode. Anxiety is our philosophy - our lifestyle - our norm. It can feel suffocating.

    As a Swede I was pretty confuse when I first heard about "hygge", I didn't get it, because we do it here but just call it "to coze", or "to chill/relax". But we do use the word: "hyggligt", but we don't say it like "huga". Thank you for your video, makes so much more sence, it's like having a "hygglig" or "trevlig" (nice) time. My husband who is from Skåne told me that it's something else in the atmosphere in Denmark though, we swedes are more stressed Still.

    It's no coincidence that the happiest countries are those with the highest taxes - you can't have a happy population without the things those taxes pay for.
    Although technically I'd use the word contented rather than happy - it's a more mellow feeling, serotonin rather than dopamine. It's secure and warm and living the good life.

    I came across hygge being a form of Paganism so I stepped away from it because I have recently walked away from that chapter of my life. I'm so glad I decided to look again. It has a lot of similarities but I felt in my heart it wasn't a form of "worship" so I'm so glad I found this video. I'm from the states so just being is not our normal. I'm trying to learn to be still and spend more time with loved ones.... Hygge is just that spending time with loved ones, yourself while doing what brings you JOY. That joy is different for everyone. Great breakdown of what hygge really is. 💜
