Hygge is the Danish cultural concept of living your best life by imbuing it with coziness and enjoying togetherness and simple pleasures. Get inspired to curl up with your CEBS Study Guide and prepare to savor sweet success with hygge studying.

1. Think tactilely. The sense of touch keeps you grounded and focused on the moment. Flip through the pages of your Study Guide and textbook. Choose a special notebook just for CEBS-related content and take notes by hand with your favorite type of pen. Writing out your notes has been shown to lead to better retention of new content.

2. Get social. We’re better together as learners. It’s nice to get perspective from others and have someone to ask questions and discuss new ideas with. Meet up with your co-workers in the CEBS program for coffee and have a study group. Consider taking a CEBS Online Study Group With Instructor Support to join a community of learners like you.

3. Create comfort. Add the little things you love to your study ritual to make it cozy and pleasant. Hot tea, plants or succulents, candles, comfortable clothing, meditation music—Pairing up things you enjoy with a task you would like to accomplish creates a pleasant mental association that motivates you to continue.
