The Hygge Self-Care Plan: 7 Important Questions

"Right now, when our world feels a little bit uncertain,
hygge is a way to practice self-care that feels sincere."
-Anne Roderique-Jones, Self.com

Are you still having winter blues symptoms, because it follows you into and through spring? Then, you need a hygge self-care plan that not only helps you survive spring in a way you haven't been able to before, but also helps you create happy moments throughout the day that offset any misery created by your winter blues symptoms.

Journal Ritual to Create Your Hygge Self-Care Plan

Grab your journal, and a pen, then light a candle and pour yourself a cup of tea. Once you get settled, take several moments to breathe in and out, deeply and slowly, and let go of any tension or stress you've been feeling.

When you're settled in and cozy, think through these questions and write down the answers and ideas that come to mind in your journal. Then, create a daily and weekly plan that will make these last few months of winter blues a lot easier than they usually are.

"It’s about a feeling, the sounds of crackling fires, something comforting.
And this can only be good for you – the ultimate in self care."
-Nicky Duffell, ProperPost.co.uk
