HYGGE MEME

Hygge (Danish, noun): a complete absence of anything annoying or emotionally overwhelming; taking pleasure from the presence of gentle, soothing things.

Dark winter evening: it's raining outside and it's cold, you're stocking up on blankets, lighting all the candles you can get your hands on and the tea's already brewing in the kitchen. Fend off the darkest season as the Danes do and have a good time with people you love.

First summer picnic: the sun's shining from a clear, blue sky, the temperatures have finally risen after half a year of depressive icy greys and it's time to go outside, bring a picnic basket and break out the wine and strawberries. Enjoy the sunlight while it lasts in a park somewhere or in the forest, if you're adventurous.

Autumn stroll aftermath: the winds are harsh and the leaves colour everything golden and red. Coming home from a walk that has left your cheeks red and your hands cool, go make some hot chocolate and fix up a bowl of marshmallows, it's time to get cosy.

Springtime playtime: the outdoors are turning a fresh green and the sky is bluer than it's been all winter. Bring sodas and sandwiches and go play in the garden. Some exercise should be healthy for the mind as well as for the body, because a game is the best way to shake off winter and reconnect with friends.

Wildcard: got another way to hygge? Bring it here!

[WARNING: spoilers for shang-chi and the ten rings]

Meditating is good for the soul. [He places the teacup and saucer down carefully in front of where Shang-Chi is seated, staying just out of the direct line of sight to the little garden and rock pool in the compound. If you look close enough, there are just as many small, wordless gestures of goodwill as there would be anger and resentment, estranged though their family might be.] Clears your mind. Helps you focus. You have been distracted since you got here.
