From the author: Friends, I wish everyone to find their balance. If you are still unable to achieve harmony with yourself, then I will be happy to help you. It used to be fashionable to be in development. Yesterday, everyone and everyone had to jump out of their pants and rush to training, read a lot, develop their talents, and still have time to build a career, give birth to children, be in perfect physical shape and, of course, delight others with their happy family life and prosperity in social networks. Now I see that the trend is somewhat tired. More precisely, people are tired. They simply shoot the driven horses, but for some reason the people are not. In general, the instinct of self-preservation kicked in. Glory to our psyche: not everyone has gone into neurosis. Part of the population decided to turn to Eastern practices: meditation, yoga. And the other part decided to look at our incredibly happy northern neighbors. Have you heard of “hygge”? What is “lagom”? Now I’ll tell you everything in order. Hygge is a concept that originated in Denmark, which is about creating a cozy and friendly atmosphere and well-being. The founder and director of the Danish Institute for Happiness Research, Mike Viking, gives in his book “Hygge. The secret of Danish happiness" 8 tips for achieving hygge. In general, they are as simple as two and two equals four:1. Make your place of stay (both home and office) cozy 2. Receive at home dear and close people3. It's delicious to eat4. Lead an active lifestyle5. Dress in comfortable clothes6. Enjoy simple pleasures7. Do something that brings you pleasure8. Have a sense of proportion while enjoying yourself. Everything is clear. But where do you get this sense of proportion? This is where the Swedish concept of “lagom” comes into play. Lagom, or more precisely “laogom” is a feeling of prosperity. You have enough of everything, and you do not experience a shortage of anything. It is believed that the Lagom philosophy came from the Viking Age. The word itself comes from the combination “laget om” (“pass in a circle”). The fact is that during gatherings, a ladle or a horn with mead was passed around to each other in a circle: everyone had to drink enough so that there was enough for the rest. In general, lagom is a conscious desire to be moderate in everything. When you have something in such a volume that it's not too little and not too much, it's just right. Moreover, this balance is different for everyone, so your lagom is right for you. How to come to a lagom? Well, the Swedes grow up with this. Our broad soul usually did not know limits. That's why all our troubles come from. But you have to live somehow. This means we need to learn to understand where the “golden mean” is. Psychotherapy comes to our aid with this. After all, it is psychotherapy that gives a person knowledge about himself and his needs. If you understand what you need to be happy, you will no longer chase what you don’t need. If you live consciously, then you know how to enjoy the moment. In enjoying the “here and now” there is no room for comparing yourself with others. So, how to achieve lag and become happy? Sign up for psychotherapy and get to know your inner self.
