Usually nobody likes autumn. Because it is dirty, gray, it rains more and more, and outdoor activities less and less. But any time of the year has its advantages, and if you find them, it will be much easier to survive the blues and slush.
BeautyHack, together with the largest subscription service MyBook, have compiled a list of plans for the fall and selected books for inspiration.
To do: feel the hygge
To read: “Hugge. Secrets of happiness "Matilda Andersen
"The main tenets of this philosophy are cohesion, intimacy, forgiving, relaxation and comfort."
Hugge is the very fashionable philosophy that the Danes came up with, and which fascinated the whole world. Its concept includes several autumn to-do at once: knit a scarf, wrap yourself in a blanket and stay at home on a rainy day, cook cocoa and watch a kind melodrama. All these insignificant little things, in fact, determine our life, our mood and well-being depends on them. Autumn is a great time to take time for yourself, create a cozy atmosphere at home and spend time with loved ones: do it and see for yourself how life will become easier and more pleasant.
To do: cook soup
To read: “Chicken broth for the soul. 101 stories about happiness "Jack Canfield
“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the further it flies away; but distract yourself, and she herself will gently fall on your shoulder."
Cook chicken broth, for example. It heals a sore throat (alas, a cold is an obvious minus of autumn), calms the nerves, and it's not so difficult to cook it. It is not for nothing that the book was given such a name. It is not easy for all of us in the fall: cold snap, work, new piled-up tasks, winter is ahead. Sometimes you just want to be sad and listen to sad music … So that spleen does not finally take possession of you, chicken broth should not only be drunk, but also read. Inspirational stories give you the strength and desire to dream, help you cope with blues and heal wounds - faster than your throat
To do: bake cinnamon rolls
To read: "Signorina Cinnamon" by Luigi Ballerini
“Sometimes we feel bitter. We shouldn't ignore her and pretend like nothing happened. Also, we must not let the trouble put an end to our lives. "
Involve your daughter, younger sister, or friend in the cooking, and then read Signorina Cinnamon's story together. They say she has some kind of incredible pastry shop: each dessert has a special power and helps to cope with any difficulties. It would be nice to have such a pastry shop nearby, right? But even if she is not there, you can arrange a sweet holiday yourself: you just need a book, flour, cinnamon and good company.
To do: go for a run on a foggy morning
To read: "Not about running" Yuri Strofilov
“Slow running is a time for reflection, meditation and unity with the outside world. Take your time: the result will come faster if you do not rush it … Maybe for this we are running."
Great deal after buns. On an autumn morning, it's hard to force yourself to just get out into the street, and then, if you can handle it, everything will go like clockwork. Head to the promenade, the nearest park, or just run around the house. And don't even think about looking for excuses: the hero of the book "Not About Running" Yuri Strofilov ran his first marathon at fifty, and a year later became the fastest Russian runner in competitions in Europe. In the book, he shares his experience and tells how to find motivation and conduct each workout with pleasure and benefit. Read about this fall's sports trends here.
To do: go for a walk with a friend
To read: "If We Knew" Tamara Island Stone
“What difference does it make to us when our time on earth ends? The main thing is to be here, to absorb the breath of life, to squeeze out every drop of it. Appreciating the little things, chocolate drip cheesecake, Christmas decorations, lawns, best friends. Sleep and Awakening ".
Take a childhood friend. The one with whom you built houses for Barbies together, chatted for hours on the phone, and then suddenly got lost due to lack of time, household chores and other nonsense. Hannah and Emory live in the neighborhood, 36 steps from each other, but neither of them can forgive old grievances and admit: "How I miss you!" We hope that everything will be different for you: write to an old acquaintance, invite to tea and give free rein to emotions. You may need only one step to do this.
To do: revise albums with old photos
To read: "Three Novels" by Fredrik Buckman
“We are the voices in your head that say no,” they shouted from there. - When other voices tell you to jump into the abyss, stop floundering and set fire to the rope, we ask you: "Hold on!"
Climb up into the chair, grab a family photo album and be nostalgic. By the way, Buckman also writes about this - about memory and love, past and future, children's hopes and fears. His book is a fairy tale for adults, short stories about the eternal and dear. When it is cold outside the window, it is important that there is warmth in the heart: trust the Three Novels, they will provide you with it.
