HYGGE-ING THROUGH THE - UNREALISTIC, INSENSITIVE, AND / OR TOO SENSITIVE We all come across different ‘situations’ every day. Just when you think you’re done for the moment, there it is!! Something or someone else shows up to really keep you on your toes…and it changes your mood, changes your mind-set, changes everything you can think of in the fraction of a second, where you can go from deep calm to good heavens…whoa!! So what exactly does this do for you?? How would you handle the expectation of a very ‘unrealistic’ attitude slammed in your face?? It looks virtually impossible to even think or feel hygge through those ‘unrealistic’ circumstances or moments. The general notion or attitude would be to walk away from it all. But if you had the chance to ‘give it a shot’, would you take that case, head on?? Nobody, on a humanistic scale should ever be put through issues that drives you to choose sides. Either you’re insensitive to one side, or too sensitive to the other side. But unfortunately, that’s not always the case. The point is to hygge through it. And the question that follows is, is it possible?? Or, how do you hygge through it?? How do you hygge through unrealistic expectations put before you?? Is it even possible?? Yes, it is!! Only if you’re calm, collected, and willing to bring peace to that chaotic situation. Ask yourself, am I ‘qualified’ enough to deal with the situation?? What can I try to say or do that will instantly diffuse this ‘high octane’ drama I’m dealing with? Should I go with the flow of one side or the other, and play ‘insensitive’ to the other? Should I just shut up and watch ‘insensitivity’ ooze out of the situation, or sit the person down and ‘talk’ sense into him / her involved? Should I personally get involved in the first place? Hygge is all about feeling comfort and cosiness of who you are and where you ‘currently are’. Hygge doesn’t represent induced pain or suffering or discomfort of any kind. But unfortunately, life throws lemons at you from different directions. The choice is yours to either ‘return the favour’ or ‘cheers’ to that situation with a glass of lemonade. Being too sensitive to any situation in life will only drive you to depression. Nothing hygge about that now!! Being insensitive to your situation may put you in a ‘not so very pleasant light’ but you have no choice than to take care of your wellbeing first. Situations will eventually sort themselves out on their own. Nothing lasts forever.
Choose hygge intentionally, wherever and whenever you can, to feel at peace, no matter what you’re going through. Hygge-ing through your situation may open your mind to possibilities that you didn’t notice before, perhaps due to the insensitivity, or hyper sensitivity, simply because of the unrealistic nature or attitude of your situation. Sleep on it for a while, and you’ll feel differently about it in the morning. Hygge it out!!
