THe art of swedish livnig 

The most beautiful things in life are free.

Enjoy a breathtaking sunrise, sunset and a sky full of stars because there's no light pollution on Lilla Rätö! Go out, explore and maybe you'll suddenly stand face to face with a moose. Pick wild blueberries and lingonberries or chanterelle mushrooms (in season). 

Bad weather is no excuse to stay indoors. 

Being outdoors and taking in fresh air is known to contribute to cognitive skills and reduces stress and anxiety. 

Too much technology is detrimental to your mental health.
Coziness, nature, and social contact are the cornerstones of the Swedish lifestyle. Occasionally going 'back to basics' and turning off your phone and laptop allows you to be much more present in the moment and truly clear your mind for a while. 

Taking breaks increases productivity.

The Swedes understand better than anyone else that breaks not only increase productivity but also improve interpersonal relationships. Their Fika is not just any break.

 

Doing nothing works wonders.


Sweden embraces the art of doing nothing. It helps you turn your focus inward and pause all the stimuli that bombard us daily like a storm.
