My top 10 hygge playlists on Spotifty that I use to create calm and well being in my home.

We currently live in a world where we allow ourselves to be swallowed into our electronic devices and forget what it feels like to be present and experience life’s simplest pleasures.

Creating a home that plays to all 5 senses can actually create a home that is more peaceful and calm, and make you feel as content as a kitten.

Please allow me to remind you of just a few simple pleasure that you can play up in your home that would cost you little to nothing at all…

Smell

A delicious scented candle burning
freshly baked bread right out of the oven
a fresh pot of coffee to wake up to
fresh cut flowers

Taste

a home cooked meal bubbling away, ready for you in the slow cooker when you get home
fresh fruit from the farmers market ripened to perfection
a small serving of your favorite dessert
hot herbal tea at the end of the day

Touch

A long hug from your favorite someone
A hot shower or bath at the end of a long day
Slipping into clean sheets
Putting on your comfiest pants as soon as you get home

Sight

A clean, tidy home
The flickering flames in your fireplace
Warm white fairy lights strung around your bedroom window
Looking out the window at the rain or snow falling

Sound

A trickling water feature
Pouring rain outside
Windchimes
And music…

Let’s talk more about music, shall we?

One of my favorite ways to create a cozy and peaceful environment in my house is to have music playing in the background.

Some people like the sound of absolutely nothing in their home at the end of the day…but I love to have a soundtrack almost from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep.

…I have playlists that are my go-to when the kids need to burn off energy (Pop 4 Kids on Spotify is my kiddos favorite), to clean my house to, getting ready to, and even some for the grown-ups *wink wink* (Sexy as Folk is my fave).

But the majority of the time, I have one of these 10 lists below playing to calm my mind and soothe my soul.

Music can “have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions, slowing the pulse and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the levels of stress hormones” says Jane Collingwood from an article in Psych Central.

Over the course of many years I have curated my go-to list of playlists that I turn to time and time again to shift my spirits and calm my mind, while creating a peaceful environment in my home…
