How is your Hygge? Beating the winter blues with coziness...
Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world according to the World Happiness Report. The World Happiness Report is published each year by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network - with an emphasis on looking at national wellbeing around the world.
We can’t all move to Denmark, but we can quite easily embrace a Hygge mindset this winter to improve our wellbeing and happiness during the cold season. Hygge refers to the Danish habit of embracing harmony, coziness and togetherness.
Hygge habits include:
- Spending quality time with friends and loved ones
- Slowing down a wee bit
- Cultivating a cozy atmosphere
- Enjoying nature walks
- Savouring the simple things in life
- Writing a letter or reading a book
- Getting enough Vitamin D
Speaking of Hygge habits, our MS/HS Principal and Assistant Principal could be seen embracing ISA School Wolves Spirit by passing out donuts and hot drinks during Yesvember this month. Thank you Mr MacAlpine and Ms Cusworth for embracing Hygge for us!
With winter just around the corner, simple activities like sharing a cup of hot cocoa and a board game are a great way to start off your family Hygge habits this weekend.
Warm regards,
Valerie DeGraw
School Counsellor
