Between curfew and confinement, the heart of the state swings … But the message remains the same: stay at home. What if creating a comfortable cocoon allowed you to better understand the crisis?
For a year, the French have dreamed of regaining a social life and their morale is at its lowest. The deprivation of liberty, spaces, outings, family reunions, choice … weighs on the morale of the population.
According to an Ifop survey carried out in November 2020, 65% of employees feel tired, worried or overworked, an increase of 5 points compared to the first confinement.
The situation and the future remain uncertain today. If the entire territory goes under curfew at 6 p.m., extra-curricular activities, end-of-day jogging, take-out meals or small group aperitifs will become impossible.
What if you decided to take an interest in hygge? This Danish concept makes it possible to rediscover and cultivate the virtues of simple and warm comfort. In order to cultivate your well-being and limit the feeling of “metro-work-sleep”.
The art of cocooning
Imagine enjoying a hot chocolate by the fireside, during a “comfort movie” session, rolled up in a plaid, nestled in a sofa accessorized with dozens of soft cushions … without forgetting the candles and the warm lights . Of course, it remains essential to create an interior that looks like you and that gives you a real feeling of well-being.
There is nothing like feeling good at home to cultivate positive thoughts and reduce the feeling of anxiety. A fragrant and fresh ambient air can, for example, bring serenity and well-being to your interior.
Moreover, the quality of the air you breathe remains an essential point for acquiring relaxation and serenity. According to health authorities, airing your rooms for a few minutes each day helps fight indoor air pollution in the event of a pollution peak, even in winter. And, with the Covid-19 pandemic, opening your windows for 15 minutes two to three times a day helps dilute the particles present in the form of aerosols.

Put some order to calm down
In a tidy environment that looks like you, your ideas will be clearer. The order and sorting bring you a good level of appeasement. Make sure that what you own gives you joy and remains useful for your well-being. Don’t hesitate to get rid of items that clutter both your mind and your closets.

Multiply light sources
Working in a windowless space or in the dark disrupts your body clock. The absence of daylight generates sleep disturbances and causes a loss of cognitive performance. Prefer lamps with soft lighting to illuminate a warm and intimate interior and favor low-power yellow lights and low-temperature bulbs.
