1. Make a To-Do List
I have a daily to-do list laminated and hanging on my office door. It is filled with obvious tasks like making the bed, but I love my list. The satisfaction of checking off such a simple task as bed making is oddly rewarding. (As well as taking my vitamins, reading for 30 minutes, or doing one thing to prep for baby.) What tasks do you need to accomplish everyday? Write a to-do list and hang it somewhere difficult to miss. Hygge living is easy one task at a time.
Pro Tip: Don’t allow yourself to become addicted to your list. There is a balance between being productive and being obsessive. Hygge living is not about accomplishing tasks. Remember, your list is just a tool; a reminder. It is not God. Be flexible if things are not going your way, because we all have those days.
2. Take it One Day at a Time
Speaking of those days… This may seem like simple advice, but just because it is simple does not mean it is irrelevant. Take it one day at a time. When I set a 30 day goal I am likely to get overwhelmed by that commitment. Sounds strange? If you are busy or easily overwhelmed like me, the only thing that helps is taking it one day at a time, one task at a time. Utilize your daily checklist and focus on accomplishing your goals today. Breathe in, breathe out. If you fail, then try again tomorrow. Just take the pressure off yourself, because a creating a hygge habit should never be stressful.
3. Choose One Habit at a Time
Again, hygge living is not at being overwhelmed and stressed. Choose one habit to adopt this week and make it a simple one. For example, making the bed should only take a few minutes and will not disrupt your schedule. Reading half an hour a day is a more hefty habit and may be more difficult to integrate. Start small and be positive. The point of developing hygge habits is to saturate your day with peace and simplicity.
4. Be Okay With Failure
Okay, I admit this is a difficult one for me. Failing has always been one of my greatest fears. However, you can find comfort in knowing hygge living has nothing to do with perfection. Jesus was the only perfect human to live on this earth. We all fall short, and that is perfectly okay. It’s what we do after we fall that matters. Did you forget to study your Bible this morning? Pick it up tonight or set a reminder for tomorrow morning. Did you “forget” to workout? Try again in the morning. Be okay with failure, but not content with it. In other words, learn from your mistake and start fresh.
5. Spend Time in Prayer
Do you want to create a new, hygge habit? Pray about it. Ask God to help you. Even if the habit is as simple as remembering to take your vitamins, ask God to help you remember. Nothing is possible apart from Him. It’s okay to ask for support in your journey toward a more peaceful way of living. Of all the tips I could give you on How to Create a Hygge Habit, the most important component is prayer.
