21 Days of Hygge: Sunlight & Tea

Hygge Tea Meditation Moment


Or, in other words...

Make yourself a delicious cup of tea & take it outside where you can soak up some sunshine & feel the warmth of the sun. Leave your electronics behind and let yourself just daydream while you sip.

Imagine a few ways you might hygge your day, today.

Don't make any effort to control your thoughts unless you find yourself worrying or dwelling on something negative or painful. If that happens, gently take in the scenery again while you sip and breathe deeply, returning to more positive thoughts, until your mind is at peace.

Another option is to try repeating the Metta Meditation (loving kindness) to yourself as you sip your tea.

And by the way, when I mention a cup of tea, I mean one like the one she drinks on the video below. Not the one you see at first, but the one she picks up from the coffee table. Love that tea cup!

Have a great day today!

Love, Jeanine

I completely agree with you, Moira! Some of my most peaceful moments and my best ideas come while drinking a big cup of tea.

I love to drink tea and snuggle in soft clothes. It is my hygge place. I can see a more beautiful word after I have my tea and snuggle in a warm, happy place. Today, I was outside. It was warm and felt like spring. That won't last but, oh! What a treat! I forgot that I had been feeling depressed.

I know exactly what you mean about the world being a little more beautiful after getting cozy with a cup of tea! And I'm so glad you had your spring day. :)
