To Live like a Hobbit: Embracing Hygge
When I think of hygge living, my mind goes to the hobbits from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit books. Literally the first paragraph gives you that feeling: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
Easy Steps to Mindfulness
In our busy lives, rushing to get from one thing to another, we might not be aware of how much we are missing because we are not fully present. Most people’s excuse is they don’t have time, but we have all the time we need, we just need to learn how to use it. I am still struggling and working on this myself, but I’ve already see glimpses of what it’ll be like if I master it and that is a pretty great feeling.
What J.R.R. Tolien Teaches Us About Life
“Little by little, one travels far.” In today’s world of instant gratification, you forget to pause and appreciate the little steps and victories. We are always pushing for the big thing and are disheartened when it takes long than we want to reach our goal. This reminds us to set smaller ones, little steps, and to celebrate each little accomplishment along the way.
“Beginnings and Ends”
“Once upon a time…” -unknown Every good story has a good beginning. Something to get you hooked, something to get you excited, something to make you want to pack your bag and go off to find your own adventure. Why do beginnings draw us in?
