Podcasts about swedish coffee break

A short break does more than just fuel our bodies, it strengthens our minds. Our overworked guest tries the Swedish practice of 'Fika' – taking short coffee breaks throughout the work day. Episode summary: In the United States, we're taught that it's a good thing to work more, and work harder. But research shows that overworking isn't just physically and mentally draining, it can also be deadly. One strategy to manage our work culture? Take more breaks. Our guest this week is Mike Heyliger, a music executive and self-described “workaholic.” He incorporated the Swedish tradition of fika – taking coffee and snack breaks throughout the day – into his own life, and found it not only helped him de-stress, it also shifted his mindset and enabled him to connect with others. Later, we look at the scientific benefits of taking microbreaks and hear from Anna Brones, co-author of Fika: The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break. Practice: Actively choose to take a break during your day. Typically, fika breaks happen twice. Once in the morning and once in the mid-afternoon. Traditionally, fika breaks include a drink, like coffee, and a snack, but this is not required. Often, fika breaks are taken with others. Today's guests: Mike Heyliger is a music executive and the creator of Detoxicity, a podcast on progressive masculinity.  Learn more about Mike's Initiative, ‘Mindful Vinyl': https://mindfulvinyl.org/about/ Listen to Mike's Podcast, ‘Detoxicity': https://tinyurl.com/vc72tjn2 Anna Brones is a Swedish-American writer and artist.

Are You Curious Why Scandinavian Cultures Are So Happy? Are You Craving More Cozy Connection In Your Home? Do You Want To Slow Down And Savor Your Relationships? Join Us! According to the World Happiness Report, people in Denmark are unusually high on ratings of happiness and wellbeing. And they also happen to be obsessed with the concept of “Hygge,” which roughly translates to an atmosphere of coziness and interpersonal connection. Is this a coincidence, or is Hygge the secret key to contentment? Light a few candles, grab a cup of hot tea, and cozy in for this episode of Psychologists Off The Clock! In this episode, you will learn:  The meaning of the Danish concept of Hygge, and why it’s crossing the Atlantic. (Although you probably won’t learn how to pronounce the word correctly!) Why Denmark is so often rated as one of the happiest countries in the world. What we Americans are doing wrong, and why we might want to slow down. Why some Hygge skeptics think the whole concept has a dark side (see here and here and this book) How Diana creates coziness in the warm Santa Barbara climate and why Debbie plans to start taking longer coffee breaks at work. Why running on the hedonic treadmill probably isn’t getting you anywhere.

This week on Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is learning the true meaning of fika with Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall, authors of “Fika: The Art of The Swedish Coffee Break, with Recipes for Pastries, Breads, and Other Treats.” With Sweden as one of the world’s top coffee consuming nations, Anna and Johanna explain that the twice-daily social coffee break known as fika is a cherished custom. Fika can be had alone or in groups, indoors or outdoors, while traveling or at home. A time to take a rest from work and chat with friends or colleagues over a cup and a sweet treat, fika reflects the Swedish ideal of slowing down to appreciate life’s small joys. In their uniquely illustrated cookbook, Anna and Johanna share with Cathy highlights from their classic recipes from their motherland and encourage this charming tradition regardless of where you might live.
