119. 5 Steps to a Fit, Fearless and Fabulous Fall Season: Step 5 Hygge it up!

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care September 28, 2024 Duration: 18:34

In this episode, we round out the 5 steps to a Fit, Fearless and Fabulous Fall by exploring the concept of hygge, a Scandinavian word that embodies a feeling of coziness, comfort, and warmth—perfect for the transition from fall into winter. While previous steps in this series have focused on moving with the season, changing routines, and meditation, this final step is all about creating a cozy environment that helps you embrace the shorter, cooler days ahead.


Key Takeaways:


Recap of the Previous Four Steps

  • Step 1: Be present in the fall season. Pay attention to the changing sights, sounds, and smells as you transition from summer to fall.
  • Step 2: Embrace seasonal change by adjusting routines. Transition your home environment and activities to match the season.
  • Step 3: Move with the season. Adjust your fitness and movement routines to suit the cooler, darker days.
  • Step 4: Incorporate meditation and reflection. With nature turning inward, it's an ideal time to meditate and journal.

Step 5: Hygge It Up

  • Hygge is all about creating a sense of warmth and coziness in your home, especially as the days get darker and colder.
  • Think about adjusting your home with cozy elements like candles, warm throws, and soft lighting to help your space feel comforting and safe.
  • Embrace rituals like baking, lighting candles, and spending time with loved ones to ground yourself in the season.


Final Thought:

As you move through the fall and into the winter, remember to hygge it up! Surround yourself with warmth, coziness, and comfort as a way to nurture your mind, body, and soul. And don't forget—right here, right now, all is okay.


Tune in next time as we dive into sleep rituals and tips for staying grounded as we move deeper into the fall season. Until then, stay cozy, and remember to hygge it up!
