Mindfulness and the Senses
Mindfulness may be the hardest principle on the list, and yet, it is one of the most important if you are to find true happiness through this practice. Mindfulness means that you are paying attention at the moment. You are fully engaged in whatever activity you are a part of. This could be watching a movie, reading a book, or having a conversation over a cup of tea with a loved one. This involves any moment in your life where you are absorbed in the moment, enjoying yourself and not worrying about the past or the future. Think of it as that saying, "Stop and smell the roses."
In the busy modern world, many of us forget to do just that because we are so busy thinking about the next deadline or the next thing we want to buy. Hygge encourages you to correct this problem. Let the aroma of a cup of coffee reach your nose before you take a sip. Enjoy the intricacies and colors of your loved one’s eyes, and notice how soft your cotton sweater feels against your skin. Combining your attention without distractions with a full sensory experience helps you slow down the clock and just enjoy your time. It can also help you create those great memories you can look back on later, even if it seems so simple at the time.
Mindfulness is a habit that you must develop with time. You can’t expect yourself to always be mindful. You have to work on it. One great way to achieve mindfulness is to simply stop what you are doing and take in the world around you. When you are engrossed in a task and you realize that your mind is wandering, pull it back to the present. Redirect your thoughts to the present moment until it becomes a habit for you to think in this way.
