Bí quyết sống hạnh phúc của người Đan Mạch

According to Meik Wiking, CEO of Copenhagen-based Happiness Research Institute: "The Danes are the happiest people in the world." Their lives are based on Denmark's ancient philosophy of comfort and cohesion, and indeed it has helped them to have extremely good quality of life throughout the years.
Since the 18th century, the "hygge" lifestyle has been widely circulated in the Danish community. They believe that feeling simple moments in everyday life can bring about miracles, such as sitting relaxing on a favorite sofa in the living room or admiring the wonderful beauty of mother nature. . 

It is a way to find yourself the happy moments of your normal life when faced with a hurried life with many hardships. But why do the Danes decide to create this lifestyle throughout their cultural history? Simply, because in the harsh long days of the winter they feel bored and become more and more worried. So they often celebrate small events in their lives by spending time with friends, organizing family meals or tea ceremonies in the candlelight to dispel boredom. This is the "art of creating closeness, connecting people" and is the path to simplicity and happiness in life. 

Here are 5 tips to bring Danish happiness that all of us should consult and implement whenever possible.

Reconnect with people
When the ice melts in the spring and the sun brings warm rays of sunshine - at the same time people can still enjoy the cold of winter during that time. In Denmark, people are often dominated by snow and frost. So locals expect something better from inviting people to eat! 

We often have periods of disruption to contact people because we face our busy lives, worries and care for our children. One of the good ways to reconnect with people is to organize a dinner party. Regardless of the region or culture in which you live, connecting through meals is a great way to restore or strengthen relationships with people. Send an invitation for dinner and do this periodically as a family meal. Developing this becomes a new tradition.

Forgive
Another way to apply that "hygge" lifestyle is to forgive, also known as "tilgivelse" in Danish. We are in a state of isolation because we will not forgive others, this will not bring you happiness - it will really lead to suffering and loneliness. Here, we not only talk about forgiving those who have hurt us but also include forgiving ourselves for past mistakes. Simply, forgiveness makes a difference in our joy and in our emotional freedom. Even if the person doesn't accept your apology, do it for your own happiness. If you need to forgive yourself, do it now, let "them" go.

Be the giver
Part of being happier in life is becoming a giver. Positive energy will come from helping others and this is why Denmark was voted the place of the happiest people on Earth. 

Denmark has achieved better social justice than most other countries because it enforces social security policies such as providing free health care and free education. Charge and balance in work-life. In a society where we mainly focus on how to achieve the next personal goal or to climb the fame ladder of success, it is often overlooked to help others. But when we share a meal or simply treat people better, it gives us a lot of fun.

Please disconnect electronic devices
Practice the "hygge" lifestyle by disconnecting electronic devices at least once a week. This is not easy for most of us - people who constantly check information on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. 

Today social media has really become an obsession and even makes some people become "addicted". So try turning off your computer, phone and starting a conversation with people instead of looking at your phone screen. 

By spending a lot of time on social media, disconnecting from electronic devices for a while will help you get the quietness needed to relax and relax in life. This will also help you to live every moment in life. Create a new story outside the limits of social media and smartphones by disconnecting.

Use the power of gratitude
We have heard about gratitude and how gratitude brings us joy. And that's true. Gratitude helps improve the immune system and enhances resistance to jealousy or anger. The Danes live on the principle of "appreciate what you get or receive". If you feel you need help, make a list of all the things you have in your present life, you may be surprised about these things. Reduce the pressure of life as the Danish people still do and live a healthier life by using the power of gratitude.

According to the United Nations, the Danish people are the happiest people in the world. The "hygge" lifestyle plays an important role in this and has helped them find beauty in the simple things of life. Things like sharing food with friends, drinking coffee in the early morning on the sofa or chasing away for a happier life - by making these small changes now, they can bring long-term joy to your life.
