Hello. Relax your shoulders, loosen your jaw & behind your ears. Hear every word as you read it. Look up as far as you can & stretch your neck for a moment.

Now, let’s begin.

I know you know the feeling I’m talking about, the hustle & bustle, worry & planning. Screens, drives, timeframes.
When it’s meaningful, it’s a blissful whirlwind! Family vacations, t-ball games, seeing good friends & intentional time.

When it’s meaningless, it’s a tiring whiplash.

It doesn’t have to be that way – you can unbind yourself. Even if you’re short on time or energy. It’s quite rewarding but you – youuuu – have to be ready, willing to be open & committed to trying things. If that scares you – perfect! Read on.

Cultivating an inspired mindset is a full-time job itself. You have to slow down, listen more, talk less, be open to connecting the dots & inspired by the brokenness rather than overcome by it. It’s a tough job! Hygge Lifestyle, not what you see on Instagram but what the actual meaning is, can connect the dots & help you cultivate an inspired mindset & meaningful life.

Surround yourself with items that bring you joy, colors that capture your eye or sooth your soul & furniture that comforts you! Love great-grandma’s chair but hate the color? Paint it! You’ll love it & love on it more. Worried the pictures don’t match or the shelving isn’t spaced evenly? Stop. HGTV isn’t showing up anytime soon & you glow when you notice these things that bring back memories.

Go outside. Go the heck outside. Remember when you were little & would smell the blade of grass before you tried to whistle through it? Can’t you almost just smell it now? Go outside!

Whoever told us leggings weren’t pants is probably mortified about this sweatpants situation – but I for one am here for it. Fashion is a choice, choose yourself even down to which set of earrings you smile at.

Get rid of the junk. In your house, your car, your life (… maybe another talk, another time ma’am). Garage sales are great – they bring community, provide affordable items, clear out your house & keep things from piling up in the trash. Simplifying can also be a time of creativity & rebirth. A decluttered home allows for a decluttered mind.

Hygge Lifestyle is all of these things & more – simplify, get back to the present & love your life by finding the joy in daily inspiration.
