Where can I find a universal recipe for dolce vita, if for each person pleasure and happiness consist in different things? Every nation has its own ways of creating a happy life. The Swedes prefer to live without worrying about the little things, which is reflected in their lagom philosophy, which is similar to the Danish Hugge. The Dutch, with their love of home comfort, “preach” gesellig. But the French have their own secrets, which Jamie Kat Callan shared in her work “Bonjour, happiness! French secrets of a beautiful life”.
The writer’s grandmother — French to the core — made Jamie think about what a person needs for happiness. Grandma kept the drive and energy until old age. She loved to preserve her own harvest and catch fish. And hunt, and sew clothes, and find rare things in thrift stores. To gather knowledge about how to find balance, happiness and joy in life, the author traveled all over France.
Life here and now
A banal phrase that has incredible power. Just think about how much time we spend worrying about the future and nostalgia about the past… And where is our present? So the French consider one of the secrets of happiness to be “the ability to enjoy what you have without worrying about what you don’t have.” And this can be learned, it is enough just to want it.
Focus on what you have now, be grateful for it. And first of all, thank yourself, because you are the creator of everything that happens in life.
Seize the moment — this is also the advice of the French. If you feel good now, be in this state, forget about worries and don’t check your phone every three seconds. A pleasant meeting, a cheerful laugh — these moments will not happen again, so it is important to experience fleeting happy events without being distracted by anything else.
The Secret Garden
It would be nice if everyone had a place that gives peace and relieves stress. The Secret Garden is a metaphorical place. You don’t have to plant a garden behind the house, hang a hammock near flowering and pleasantly smelling trees (although this can be done).
The Secret Garden is a place of rest. It can be placed in an armchair by the window, by the fireplace, on the balcony or windowsill. You can read there, burn candles or knit, build towers from a constructor — do anything to calm your soul. A flowerpot with flowers or greenery, a bubble bath, pillows on a wide windowsill — just choose an environment in which you can take a few minutes or even an hour to relax from the daily hustle and bustle, to be alone with yourself.
You can make several such corners of comfort in the house. Do not take gadgets to the Secret Garden. This is a place of rest from them too.
A narrow circle of close people
The French rarely talk about themselves, and if they do, they speak only superficially, without details. They have several close friends with whom they can share details, but no more.
Work to live, not live to work
The essence of this phrase is simple — although work is an integral part of our life, it should never become our whole life. Therefore, it is necessary to allocate time to other areas.
