Simplicity is a big part of life here, but achieving it doesn’t happen by accident. It’s shaped by small, everyday decisions that reflect both practicality and deeply rooted values. Some of these choices are very practical, things you might even want to try in your own life. Others are tied to bigger cultural mindsets that might feel quite different from what you’re used to.
What might surprise you is how avoiding certain habits can have such a big impact. By saying no to things that add unnecessary complexity, we create space for clarity and peace. Whether it’s the way we interact with others, how we approach time, or even how we deal with money, each point reflects a conscious choice to embrace simplicity over excess.
It’s not just about the things we do, it’s also about the things we choose to avoid. In this video, I’ll share 12 habits or behaviors that Nordic people consciously steer away from to maintain a more balanced lifestyle.
